The measure would permit sale of soft drinks, chewing junk food gum, frozen desserts and candies during the school day, provided they are not sold at mealtimes. department spokesman said the proposal carried out a Nov. 15 ruling A by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington that overturned parts of a 1980 department rule that restricted sale from the beginning of the school day until the end of the last lunch period-Th- appeals court ruled the Carter administration interpreted a 1977 law too strictly. It concluded that Congress only intended to control sale of junk foods at mealtimes within food service areas, not throughout schools. The decision stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the soft drink industry and applied only to soft drinks. But the departments new proposal extended the provision to other foods. It would apply to some 90,000 schools nationwide.

Senate Majority Leader Howard H. Baker Jr., tried to get unanimous consent from all senators to schedule a vote Thursday afternoon on a constitutional amendment strongly favored by Reagan which would permit vocal organized prayer in the nations classrooms. Bakers request would have permitted no amendments other than one added by the Judiciary Committee, which would bar government officials from composing any school prayer. The Senate voted 96-Wednesday for that amendment, which was backed by Reagan. But Sen. Alan J. Dixon, protested against Baker's plan, saying he wanted to offer an amendment that would permit only silent prayer and meditation and guarantee equal access to public facilities by voluntary religious groups. Bakers request, Dixon said, narrows the issue to a single vote on the president's request in the terminology the president and his supporters want . . . with no opportunity for the Senate to discuss all the other important questions. This senator stands for silent prayer in the public schools. This senator does not support audible, vocal prayer or the concept by which some prayer can be written by anybody, he said. What Baker wants to do is narrow a major debate in this country affecting hundreds of millions of people to one question, Dixon said. Unable to secure agreement for a vote on the Reagan-backe- d proposal only, Baker announced he would be- - scheduling' votes On amendments. Baker said he h?d felt compelled to try to schedule a final vote after 10 days of Senate debate on the issue because you can negotiate forever, but finally a jury will make a judgment. We can argue here , . . but finally the Senate must work its will, and its time to begin that. Baker told reporters, If it fails, it gin ( fails, adding that while he doesn't know If he has the votes for passage, 1 think we have a chance, '(Sen. Lowell Weicker, who is leading opposition Ho an amendment, said he was ready for a vote, provided It was only on the version supported by Reagan permitting vocal prayer. Weicker has said he believes he has the votes to defeat that version. But he has been unwilling to allow vera vote on a sion because a number of senators have said they could support that.
