An 18-13 vote blocked an attempt to open up sessions on appointments, which Sen. A. R. Schwartz of Galveston described as "the last real vestige of "I can't remember," replied Schwartz. "You don't have a memory," responded Patman.

Sen. Charles Herring, Austin, proposed the amendment to restore a two-thirds vote of the 31-member Senate to open up closed-door sessions on appointments. Schwartz's proposal would automatically make them public sessions unless a majority of the Senate voted to debate the appointments in secret. Schwartz protested that the "public has an unequivocal right to know what the Senate does in its business." Herring said if the public and press were allowed to listen to the Senate debate an appointee's qualifications, "It could destroy the man's reputation and hurt his family and friends." In proposing a time limitation secrecy in the Senate." The Senate voted 20-11 against a proposal by Dallas Sen.

Pompidou's letter of reply said: "During our recent discussions, I indicated to you the reasons which seemed to me to call for racket in the state-run television network.

Pompidou's dismissal of him came as a surprise, however, despite widespread speculation i the formation of a new govern- ment." But he did not spell out the reasons.

Mauzy was successful, however, in changing a proposal which would permit the lieutenant governor to create a new committee if he thought it was necessary. Mauzy's amendment specified that the lieutenant governor would need two-thirds approval of the Senate to do so.

The proposed new rules also would spell out prohibitions against the hiring of legislators' relatives for Senate jobs such as clerks and secretaries and would reduce the number of Senate committees from 27 to 9 with a senator restricted to service on three committees. "Many of the fears of these rules are simply not founded," Schwartz said, but Sen. W. T. Moore of Bryan replied: "When you start talking about reform, I shiver." Moore said if the Schwartz proposals were adopted, he would introduce another set of rules in the 1973 legislature to "re-enact the rules we have now." ranks before the elections.

Its composition is expected to be announced Thursday or Friday. Messmer, minister for overseas territories under Chaban-Delmas, served for nine years as defense minister for President Charles de Gaulle under Pompidou's premiership.

Like Chaban-Delmas, one of the first to rally to De Gaulle's Free France movement in 1940, Messmer was a founder of a pressure group designed to press its view of Gaullist orthodoxy after the general resigned in 1969.

Patman said the proposal was "probably the most lar-reach-ing" of any of the rules, and that neither Congress nor any state legislature except California had ever adopted such a rule. "It will keep a bunch of bills from being bounced out of committee by three people who just happen to get together and decide to pass out everything," Schwartz said. Patman, whose desk is in front of Schwartz's, accused Schwartz of denying the "public the right to testify against these rules." Schwartz responded that the public and press have known about the rules for two weeks and to say "you have not had enough time to read them is the rankest kind of demagoguery." "If you don't want to vote on the rules, you are prone to do from time to time," added Schwartz, almost shouting at Patman's back.

The pact, also signed by the Soviet foreign trade minister, Nikolai Patolichev, marks the end of a nine-year period of trade between both countries that was carried on without a formal commerce agreement. The previous agreement, which expired in 1963, was not renewed because Moscow refused to acknowledge it was valid for West Berlin. The inclusion of the divided city in the new pact was seen as a triumph for the campaign of Chancellor Willy Brandt to improve relations with Soviet-bloc countries.

On the home front, however, Brandt faced a government crisis. Informed sources said the 61-year-old economics and finance minister handed in his resignation to Brandt earlier this week and indicated the chancellor probably will announce his acceptance of Schiller's decision on Friday. The chief government spokesman, Ruediger von Wechmar, did not specify the nature of Brandt's decision but said "The rule has shown that the federal chancellor accepts resignations offered to him." There were indications earlier that Brandt was trying to get Schiller to withdraw the But the governor, who differs with McGovem on foreign policy, threatened at one point to stay home if the South Dakota senator had the nomination wrapped up before the convention. Edwards said he doesn't believe McGovem will be nominated on the first ballot, even though a U.S. court of appeals in Washington earlier in the day had ordered 151 California delegates returned to the senator's camp.

Sources said Schiller agreed to remain in the Cabinet this week to carry on important monetary talks with French and Soviet officials. The government's remarks about his resignation letter came just hours after the announcement thai Premier Jacques Chaban-Delmas of France had resigned.

Chaban-Delmas and Schiller had taken part in the French-German monetary talks that ended Tuesday in Bonn, but government sources said there was no direct connection between the sessions and the resignations. Schiller also was committed to meeting with Patolichev during his two-day visit. They are expected to sign a $440-mil-lion barter deal in Dusseldorf Thursday. The trade agreement provides for increased economic and technological cooperation and liberalizes import-export restrictions in order to boost trade between the two countries. Informants said Schiller sub- mitted his resignation after a meeting last Thursday in which the Cabinet overruled his pro-! tests and adopted restrictions on foreign currency transactions in the wake of Britain's decision to float the pound.

I (AP) Bobby Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the stait of the $400,000 world championship chess match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. With the confrontation threatening never to reach the checkered board, President Max Euwe of the International Chess Federation FIDE took some of the blame and suggested a further postponement until next week for the dust to settle. Euwe said he had allowed Fischer's tardy arrival he got here Tuesday because "Fischer is quite another person. He's living in another world." Euwe said he realized titleholder Boris Spassky was "very upset" and would like to give him a week before the first game. Fischer's holdout for more money brought the takings for both winner and loser to the highest amount ever in world championship chess.

The winner will get $231,210 and the loser $168,750. Delayed Until Thursday The 24-game reries between Spassky of the Soviet Union and the 29-year-old American challenger was to have begun last Sunday. It was put off for two days because of Fischer's holdout, then delayed until Thursday by Soviet objections to the American's conduct. Euwe admitted Wednesday he had violated the rules in allowing delays in the starting date, and promised strict rule enforcement from now on. He then suggested the further postponement and said the match may even have to be split into parts to avoid conflict with the world chess Olympiad set to begin in September at Skopje, Yugoslavia.

The first apology of the day was made in Fischer's name on the demand of Spassky, who said the American's conduct had "insulted me personally and the country I represent." Fischer said he was sorry he'd caused any trouble for Spassky, whom he respected as a man and admired as a chess a hotel bar stepped kuwe, a tall, 71-year-old Dutchman and former world chess champion. He made his way to the speaker's table, and sat down at Geller's right. Taking a microphone from the table in front of him, Euwe said he condemned Fischer, conceded he had broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Asked by a newsman if the Russians were satisfied, Geller said they wanted it all in writing. Euwe reached to his inside pocket for a pen and said, "I can write it now." He began drafting a letter as the ews conference continued. At one point, Geller confirmed that the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe he should award the first game of the match to Spassky by forfeit.

Euwe looked up from nis paper and said he didn't consider the request to be official. Geller, smiling as the questioning turned in circles, said he didn't think Spassky would accept the award even if Euwe offered it. Do the Russians insist on it anyway? "Yes," Geller said. New Tangle When it appeared that the Soviets would be ready to start play Thursday, assuming Fischer's written apologies were in hand, Euwe created a new tangle. After explaining why he allowed Fischer the delay, Euwe said: "I know Spassky is very upset by all this, and I would not like to make him play tomorrow," Euwe said.

"I would like to give him a week. Then we'd have to split the match into 12-game halves. The second part could come later in the year. Or we could have 16 games now and the rest afterward." Fulfillment of the Russian demand that Fischer forfeit the first game would give Spassky a 1-0 advantage in the score at the outset. The 24 games are scored one point for a win.

a are sorry the worid championship was delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player. "If Grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomfited, I am indeed unhappy, for I had not the slightest intention of this i ocurring." Though officials were clearly worried at one point that the Russians might pull out, Spassky was not behaving like a man who was on the verge of leaving. Early in the afternoon he took his borrowed Ford to a car dealer because the right front wheel, he said, "makes a funny noise." He waited around the showroom, kicking tires like a prospective customer, while mechanics repaired the wheel. Afterward he drove back to his hotel.

The Russian would not talk about chess or the dispute delaying the match he says he wants to play. Like duelists before they meet, Fischer and Spassky were letting their aides settle the details. Though Fischer went for a ride around town in a police car Tuesday night, he has spent most of his time holed up in a villa quarantined by a permanent police guard. From his hideaway, Fischer had a U.S. Chess Federation official wake up one of the match organizers at 6 a.m.

wanting to know: "Where's Bobby's car?" On the long list of his special requirements was a Mercedes-Benz with automatic transmission. Officials say there are none in Iceland. Then at midafternoon a policeman delivered a walkie-talkie set to Fischer's house, presumably so he could confer with his two lawyers without having to use the telephone. A close friend of his said Fischer was constantly afraid the Russians would try some "dirty tricks."
