(Ora tinned an Page Seven) But Senators Refuse To Kill Measure WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate today rejected a bipartisan leadership move to curb a South ern talkathon against the admin istration’s voting rights bill. But it overwhelming refused to kill the measure. The twin actions left the meas ure still before the Senate. And Democratic Leader Mike Mans field, Mont., said he would make a second try for a cloture petition to halt the debate. Mansfield made a motion to table — and thus kill the bill — immediately after the Senate re jected 53 to 43 a cloture petition. That vote was a victory for the Southern forces opposing the bill and was 21 votes short of the two thirds required to gag debate. Then Mansfield brought up the tabling motion, which he had in troduced solely as a test of the bill Itself. By a vote of 64 to 33 the Senate refused to table. Senate leaders had settled on this strategy to force an immedi ate showdown on the bill because tabling moves can not be debat ed. Mansfield and GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., had said previously that they would make the tabling motion only if the cleture move polled a majority of senators present. Battle Plan Changed But Mansfield announced at al most the last minute that the bat tle plan had been changed and that he would seek a test on the bill itself regardless of the out come of the cloture move. The two-week-oid controversy centers on a bill to outlaw unfair state literacy tests and make a sixth grade education proof of lit eracy for voting in federal elec tions. The cloture petition failed to even draw a majority vote. The vote was 53 to 43 against it. Before the vote, Sen. Kenneth B.
