Va. Voting Rights Act Stays In Senate By ELMER LAMMI WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Senate, plagued by absenteeism and the threat of a Southern filibuster, failed Saturday to make any headway in a bitter battle over extension of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Senate was forced to adjourn after an hour and 25 i lacking a quorum despite the hopes a i leadership to push the bill through before a scheduled Aug. 1 vacation recess.

There has never been a nationwide postal strike. But mail service in major cities such as New York, Boston. Philadelphia, San Francisco and Minneapolis were hit by spot walkouts in a 1970 contract dispute. The Postal Service, with one of the world's biggest private industry payrolls, presented a money offer to the unions Friday. Another major issue was a current clause in the contracts prohibiting any layoffs of workers.

Even if the contracts expire without agreement, 45 days are allowed for a fact-finding board to study positions and report. After that, another 45 days is allowed for arbitration of unresolved issues. "We are now deeply in the area of negotiating on the direct economic items to be incorporated into this contract," said Darrell- Brown. chief negotiator for the Postal Service.

Byrd denied he was doing that and said he would let any senator speak for up to three hours. He said he was holding the floor for fear opponents might make motions that could be acted upon by a minority of the Senate. He said he also wanted to stave off any possibility the Senate might have to sit through the night and on Sunday. The Democratic whip failed in an effort to recess rather than adjourn -until 9 a.m.

Monday. A recess would guarantee first priority to the voting rights bill when Congress returns. i 4 6 senators four short of a quorum answered a roll call, the Senate had to adjourn until noon Monday. This meant resumption of debate would be delayed by procedural matters. The Senate was scheduled to take up Mansfield's first petition to shut off debate on Monday.
