Outcome of Vote On Carswell Still in Doubt WASHINGTON (AP) For the second time, a Senate battle over a Southern judge nominated by President Nixon for the Supreme Court is going down to the wire with the outcome in doubt. An Associated Press survey gives supporters of the nomination of G. Harrold Carswell an edge on a crucial vote set for Monday, but the key is held by 13 undeclared senators. The Republican leadership maintains its count shows enough votes to defeat a motion to send the nomination back to the Senate Judiciary Committee -a move designed to kill it. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, one of those who has not announced his stand, says he regards the outcome as a tossup.
If the recommittal motion fails, the Senate has agreed to vote Wednesday on the nomination of the 50-year-old Carswell, a 5th U.S. Court of Appeals judge whose home is in Tallahassee, Fla. The move to return Carswell's nomination to committee was made by Sen, Birch Bayh, D- who played a leading role in the fight against Nixon's earlier nomination of Judge Clement F. Haynsworth Jr. of Greenville, S.C.
The Senate rejected Haynsworth's nomination last November 55 to 45, with 17 of the 43 Republicans breaking away from the administration. No such widespread GOP defection is apparent in Carswell's case. Bayh's motion, offered in the hope it would pick up a few more votes than a a 5, straight test on confirmation, has stirred conflicting reactions and created additional uncertainties. Some senators have denounced it as an attempt to let the Senate evade a responsibility of voting for or against Carswell's nomination. Sen.
Marlow Cook, for example, has announced he will vote against recommittal but has not said how he will vote on confirmation. And Sen. Robert Packwood, has said he is against confirmation but finds the move to return the matter to committee distasteful. He said senators should have the guts to vote for or against Carswell. However, Bayh's motion has enabled opponents to make inroads into the ranks of Southern Democrats.
Sens. J. Fulbright of Arkansas and William Spong Jr. of Virginia are supporting the motion. The latest Associated Press tally lists 46 senators against Bayh's recommittal motion and 29 for, with 13 others undeclared.
Two ailing senators, Clinton P. Anderson, and Karl E. Mundt, are I not included. Two others, Sens. Wallace F.
Bennett, R-Utah, and Cliborne Pell, also will be absent. Bennett is on record in support of Carswell and against recommittal. Pell is in the opposing camp, so their absences will balance off. If all other senators vote, 49 will constitute a majority for the adoption or rejection of Bayh's motion. Alternatively, SING OUT (Continued from Page 1) It is not likely that many will have to be rocked to sleep Monday night.
Tuesday is the big day, with breakfast at 7 a.m. at the Holland Building. Rep. Charles Nergard, who invited the group to help open the session of the Legislature, has arranged a tour of the House and Senate before the session actually starts. Sing Out will sing out, on the first floor of the Capitol, at 10 a.m., then they will watch the actual- opening of the Legislature at 11 a.m.
Lunch will be 11:30 a.m. on the lawn of the Capitol (probably hamburger and drinks), then will follow a tour of the Capitol, especially arranged for the Sing Out troupe. DEPARTURE is set for 2 p.m. with a concert scheduled for the University of Florida campus and dinner in the UF dining room at Gainesville. It is hoped that the buses will leave Gainesville by 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday and arrive in Fort Pierce about 2 a.m. Wednesday. Two private cars and a small truck will accompany the buses and two carloads of people will go to Tallahassee today to make sure all is in readiness. Members of the Advisory Committee who will accompany the group will include Mr. and Mrs.
E. F. Dean, Vie Larsen, Guy Long, Mrs. Faye Mills, Dennis Summerlin, Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence Chambers, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Weatherington, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hyland and Mr.

The House is scheduled to begin debate Wednesday on the welfare reform bill, of which this is the most revolutionary provision, involving more than 10 million persons. But the battle will be joined a day earlier, when proponents and opponents of the bill appear before the House Rules Committee, which will set conditions under which the House considers the legislation. Bills of this kind ordinarily to the floor under a "closed -permitting only a yes or no vote on whole package, without amendments. Even opponents concede that the House, faced with such a choice, will pass the bill increasing welfare pay. ments and relieving the states of some of the financial burden.
Their hope is to persuade the committee to allow a assistance separates vote on family the working poor, which they think they have a chance to defeat. However, unofficial counts indicate they are several votes short of a majority of the 15 man committee. A objective is to prolong secondary INDIAN RIVER COUNTY NEWSETTES URBAN UTILITIES of Gifford will shift into high gear in its effort to sign up new members in a month-long drive at a reduced rate, according Samuel Hunter, president. The present rate of $250 to bring water to the customer's property line will be reduced to $125 during the campaign, which will last through April. Persons desiring to take tage of this program should contact the UDU office at 4532 40th Avenue or call 567-5024.
This reduced rate campaign, according to Hunter, is made possible because the E. N. Murray Company, the company which put in the distribution system, is working in Brevard County and can come to Gifford to install a series of meters. The reduced rate of $125 is based on getting 50 more members on the system. The new members will have to be located within the existing distribution lines.
Since UDU is a non-profit corporation, all of the profits, said Hunter, are returned to members. An increase of members can result in an immediate reduction of rates. The current rates are $4.25 per month for the first 5,000 gallons and $4.25 going, allowing more time to try to persuade members. Prominent in the opposition to the working poor provision is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has been mounting a campaign during the House Easter recess through its local affiliates.
In a special report to members, Arch N. Booth, executive vice president of the Chamber, said the family income plan "rather than reform the welfare mess would make it worse Let's correct the existing problems instead of making them at least 300 per cent worse."

Lewis had written Williams a "I don't know that the letter really needs an answer.
This was not a meeting where the Legislature is involved. They have nothing in the world to do with this sort of program," the commissioner said. Williams said the request from Lewis, D-Miami, was politically inspired because of Lewis' support of Thomas O'Malley of Miami, who is opposing Williams for the Democratic nomination in 1970.
