The result is that opponents may still mount a filibuster aimed at defeating the compromise, which has become the most important remaining piece of President Carter's energy program. THE MEASURE would lift federal price controls on natural gas by 1985, but prices would be permitted to rise by about 10 per cent annually between now and then. Prices for homeowners would go up, but some specialists say the increase would be about the same under the current system of regulated prices. The compromise picked up support, yesterday from four previously un- committed Democrats: Thomas McIn- tyre of New Hampshire, Thomas Eagleton of Missouri and Dick Clark- and John Culver, both of Iowa. AND SEN. PATRICK Leahy (D-Vt.), ho had been listed as leaning against he compromise, said he would vote for t. I - An Associated Press informal count shows 44 senators firmly supporting or leaning toward the compromise. There were 40 firmly or tentatively opposed, including Sen. Richard Sch- weider (R-Pa.), who said yesterday he would vote against the gas bill. Sch- weiker said the measure would bring sharp increases in prices for industrial users in Pennsylvania, driving more manufacturers to move from the Nor- theast to the Sun Belt. LTHAT LEFT 16 uncommitted votes. But most private counts showed a clear majority of those voting for the natural gas compromise which is the product of 10 months of delicate House-Senate negotiations. Nonetheless the final outcome ap- peared extremely close. Senate Republican leader Howard Baker said, "I do not believe ... either side has 50 votes. It is still up in the air." BY LATE YESTERDAY, Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd believed he had obtained agreement for a final vote next Tuesday from opponents. That disparate group includes senators ranging from conservative Republican Clifford Hansen of Wyoming to liberal Democrat James Abourezk of South Dakota. But it takes only one senator to object, to setting a firm time and date for a vote. That one yesterday was Republican Dewey Bartlett of Oklahoma who said, "I want to keep my dptions open." BYRD SAID A new attempt would be made on Friday to reach agreenienron concluding a Senate debate whih has continued since April 1977 when Carter first sent his energy plan to Capitol Hill.

It takes 60 votes to end Senate debate. Earlier yesterday, Hansen said the White House has mounted such a heavy lobbying effort that opponents have not had a chance to air adequately the defects he sees in the compromise. Dr. Paul C.
