A Filibuster Seems Certain A I June 21 The south has losi a battle in ths senate for the first time over civil rights legislation, i but lias not yet lost the war. The biggest battles are still to come and probably i tie up the senate during most of in a i i But even then, the chances a southern Democrats can defeat the bill will be much less bright a in past years.

Supports ot the house-approved administration civil rights bill a first-round victory in the 1957 struggle last night. By a vote of to 39, the senate refused to follow normal procedure and send I the house bill to its judiciary committee, where a similar measure has been bottled up since last winter. The of this vote was to hold the bill in the senate, it can be taken up by a majority vote like any bill reported by a senate committee. The motion to take up the bill is not expected i shortly after the July 4 holiday. Because that motion will be subject to filibuster, it can, in fact, be carried only if supporters of the I i can tlie Gl votes re- i i lo shut debate under the senate's anti-filibuster rule.

night's vote did not represent a. true test on the civil rights issue because it came on a procedural question and involved a departure from senate custom. For instance, a of and western Democrats, such as Sens. John F. Kennedy Mike Mansfield (Mont.) and Wayne L.

Morse of Orgeon, who favor civil rights legislation, lined up with the southern bloc. They believed the i should have been referred to committee and an attempt made later to discharge it if the committee failed to act. In all, 11 Democrats and 34 Republicans voted against referring the bill to committee; 34 Demo- crats and five Republicans voted for referral. I The vote came after eight of debate on a move a launched by Senate GOP Leafier William F. Knowland.

The seuate was functioning under procedure i did not permit unlimited debate or filibuster, so the debate could not be delayed indefinitely. Sens. Paul H. Douglas Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) and Thomas C.

i Jr. (D- Mo.) led the Democratic bloc supporting Knowland. Sen. Richard C. Russell quarterback for the house in all senate contests over civil rights legislation, led the fight to get the bill sent to committee.

He warned a the Knowland plan could create chaos by setting a prece- for senata action on bills without study by committee.
