MORRIS Nrw York Timrg Nfv.i Sfrvlrt WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 A Republican drive to attach an anti-spending rider to the Administration's tax bill showed signs of faltering today as Plouse debate on the bill got under way.

An unusual degree of party loyalty among southern Democrats cheered Administration leaders and encouraged confident predictions that the proviso would be rejected. The voting is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon on the completion of eight hours of floor debate, spaced over two days. The first ballot will come on the disputed Republican proposal, which would bar a tax cut unless budgeted federal expenditures are reduced. Passage of the bill is expected to follow, regardless of whether the rider is adopted. Rider's Specifications The rider specifies that the bill's provisions for tax cuts shall not take effect unless the President, in his budget message next January, estimates expenditures of no more than $07 billion for the present fiscal year, which ends June 30, and SOS billion lor the fiscal year stalling next July 1.

This would require reductions of about $1 billion in the Administration's spending plans for the present fiscal year and about billion for the coming fiscal year.

It permits explosions underground so long as there Is no fallout of radio active material outside the testing country.

It is the first treaty on a point of major East-West conflict that the West has been able to work out with the Soviet Union since the Austrian state treaty of 1955 ending the occupation of that country.

"It sounds easy but It throws our whole scale into a cocked hat," said Schools Dr. Sidney P. Mar-land Jr. He explained that the present scale gives most teachers $200 annual raises.

"Before undertaking any thing," Dr. Marland said, "we want to study our own resources and the effect on all steps of the scale." In addition to a morale problem, it will also cause a budget problem.
