Cloture Filed In Debate Over Redistricting WASHINGTON (API Seventeen senators joined todav in filing a petition to shut tiff debate in the Senate battle the Supreme Court's legislative reapportionment decision The fight over this issue is the chief stumbling block to adjournment of Congress The petition to invoke the anti-filibuster rule was submitted by Republican Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois shorth after the Senate convened at the end of a Labor Day recess Under the rules, the petition will come to a uge one hour after the Senate meets on Thursday. The move, requiring a two- thirds majority of senators voting. is designed to limit further debate a group of liberal Democrats against a legislature apportionment rider to the pending S3.3-billion foreign aid bill. Dirk.sen is chief sponsor oi the nder aimed at delaying for a year or more Supreme Court- ordered reapportionmen? of seats in both houses of -tatc legislatures on a population basis He wants to gain time to adoption of a constitutional amendment that would permit states to apportion seats in one branch of their legislatures on a basis other than population Joining him in filing the cloture petition were two Democratic senators and 14 Republican senators The total of 17 was one more than is required by the rules One of the Democratic signers was Sen.

James 0 Eastland of Mississippi, who long battled against use of the debate limitation rule to halt filibusters against civil rights measures. The other Democratic signer was A S. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said it appeared that the cloture rule would be invoked, limiting each senators speaking time to one hour If the cloture move fails, a group of liberal Democrats who have been carrying on what Dirksen calls a filibuster against his proposal will be free to keep on talking indefinitely. Dirksen proposal, offered as a rider to the foreign aid authorization bill, could be tabled and thus killed if opponents could line up a against it. So far they have been unable to do so.

With the stalemate standing in the way of congressional adjournment, there were reports that Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey. President vice presidential running mate, now is ready to throw his weight publicly behind the anti-Dirksen forces. Johnson so far has kept silent on the reapportionment issue.

At the latest count, traffic fatalities across the United States numbered 523. Eighteen persons were killed in boating accidents and 57 others drowned.

Howard Pyle, president of the safety council, credited cautious driving on the part of homeward bound motorists with keeping the death toll behind last record of 557 lives. Throughout most of the 78-hour weekend, the number of deaths had kept pace with the record setting 1963 figures. Early Sunday evening the number of deaths reached 450 and safety council spokesmen expressed fear that a new record would be set as motorists clogged highways on the way home. The safety council estimated before the holiday began that 190 to 550 persons would be killed during the weekend. An Associated Press survey, made for comparative purposes over a 78-hour nonholiday weekend from 6 p.m.

Friday. Aug. 21, to midnight Monday, Aug. 24. showed 456 persons dead in traffic accidents, 24 in boating accidents and 54 by drowning.

The safety Labor Day weekend traffic count began at 6 p.m. Friday and ended at midnight Monday (local times). Negroes also will attend white schools at Gadsden, for the firM time. Although 38 Negro pupils applied for transfer to the white schools, it was not known immediately how many would be accepted Gadsden, a northeast Alabama city of more than 58,000, has been the scene of racial tension in the past However, no difficult ies have arisen recently. Schools also are being integrated at Mount Sterling, where 227 pupils, displaced by the burning of a Negro school, enter classes Besides the 227 Negro pupils entering city schools at Mount Sterling, 111 other Negro pupils enter county schools.

Three fires, including the one at the school, have broken out in the Negro section of Mount Sterling since Negro parents threatened a suit and a school boycott in support of demands for desegregation. MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) The color bar fell with little notice today in three Montgomery schools. The only outward 'ign of opposition was a quiet picket line at one of the high schools. Negroes entered Lanier and Lee high schools and Harrison Elementary School on schedule.

At Harrison, two Negro children walked in shortly after 8 30 a Hardly anyone paid attention to them as they entered the building with their mothers. The four pickets walked across the street from Robert High School as three Negro students arrived for their first day of classes. They entered after white students went to class a few minutes earlier. A handful of housewives joined the newsmen who observed the desegregation from across the street. Three Negro students, two girls and one boy, arrived at Lanier in private cars.

Police stopped them inside the doors, apparently to check their identification, and then admitted them and their parents.

In making its claim Monday, the chamber said it was based on reported surges of manufacturing activity and employment during the first six months of 1964.

Previously, the six-county Chicago metropolitan area was ranked second to New York. Oscar T. Lawler, president of the Los Angeles chamber, said that, on the basis of figures supplied by the states of California and Illinois, the average industrial employment in the Los Angeles-Orange County area surpassed that of Chicago by 2.000 jobs during the first half of 1964. Lawler said average industrial employment during the first six months of 1964 amounted to 852,700 in the two-county California area. He said total was 850,000.
