AUSTIN (AP) Senators Km m- jv i Weir (WW Sen. Charles Herring, Austin, rejected proposals Wednesday to put a time limit on filibusters and to let the public and press watch them vote on the gover-n 's appointments to state boards and agencies. An 18-13 vote blocked an attempt to open up sessions on appointments, which Sen. A. R.

Schwartz of Galveston described 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 as an unequivocal right to know what the Senate (7 Ik, 'fieA---- fi wiV i as "the last real vestige of secrecy in the Senate."

Pompidou's dismissal of him came as a however, which seemed to me to call for The Senate debated Schwartz's "reform" rules for Vh hours, then quit until Thursday morning without taking a vote on the entire package. Schwartz said Lt.

Gov. Ben Barnes and Lt. Bill Hobby supported the new rules. An amendment by Mauzy and Sen. H.

J. Blanchard of Lubbock to rub out a provision giving the lieutenant governor unrestrained authority to create new committees was adopted 30-1 with Schwartz voting "no." Schwartz, author of many of the new rule proposals, clashed with Sen. Bill Patman of Gana-do over a rule that would require a majority of the membership of a committee not just a majority of those present to approve a bill to send it to the floor. Patman said the proposal was "probably the most far-reaching" 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. "Name one said despite widespread speculation the formation of a new govern Chaban-Delmas might resign men. "But he did not spell out before the elections in favor of a the reasons. and hurt his family and friends." In proposing a time limitation on filibusters, Mauzy said the "only legitimate reason for a filibuster is to draw public attention to a particular problem, and 24 hours is long enough to focus public attention." Schwartz, who is almost always aligned with Mauzy on the liberal said, with a smile, "you're taking away the last minority right left. Of all the people to leave the liberal cause, you're the last person that I thought would walk off and leave us naked and, leaving us naked, shine the spotlight on us." 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." WAITED premier who could reunite the ranks before the elections. Under the constitution laid down by De Gaulle, the head of state may change his government whether or not the National Assembly has confidence in them, unlike most West European nations where the Georges Pompidou fired Jacques Chaban-Delmas, his premier for three years, after a series of scandals rocked the unity of the Gaullist party. With legislative elections due before next March, Pompidou then on Wednesday appointed hard line Gaullist Pierre Messmer, 56, to form a new government likely to include many of the leading figures of the outgoing administration. 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. tike Chaban-Delmas, one of the first to rally to De Gaulle's Free France movement in 1940, Messmer was a founder of a re group designed to press its view of Gaullist orthodoxy after the general resigned in 1969. Chaban-Delmas, whose dynamic war effort made him a brigadier general at the age of 29, became premier when Pompidou succeeded De Gaulle as president. His more liberal interpretation of Gaullism and head of state is a titular figure. Chaban-Delmas noninally resigned.

"I'll definitely be an active participant in a stop McGovern movement," Edwards said. "I'll try to stop him in the sense I'm not going to vote for him." Blacks and McGovern supporters on the state's delegation combined last month to tap Edwards as their leader at the national convention.

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.

(AP) Bobby Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the stait of the $400,000 world championship chess match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writisg. 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" 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 psychological advantage for their champion. This woiild mean that in the end they accept a decision by Euwe not to penalize the American.

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 a '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 resignation. Informants said Schiller submitted his resignation after a meeting last Thursday in which the Cabinet overruled his protests and adopted restrictions on foreign currency transactions in the wake of Britain's decision to float the pound.

Euwe reached to his inside pocket for a pen and said, "I can write it now." He began drafting a letter as the news conference continued. At one point, Geller confirmed that the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe had should award the first game of the match to Spassky by forfeit. Euwe looked up from his paper and said he didn't consider the about his resignation letter came just hours after the announcement that Premier Jacques Chaban-Delmas of France had resigned. Chaban-Delmas and Schil'er 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.

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 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.

Delayed Until hursaY 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 urther 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 tangle.
