GOP Bloc Urges Military Alliance Against Russia
Washington, March 4 — (UP) — Senate President Arthur H. Vandenberg today fought off efforts of a Republican bloc to saddle the European Recovery program with an outright military alliance against Russia.
There were indications the proposal would not muster enough votes to pass, but it, nevertheless, promised to enliven senate debate on the five billions 300 million dollar ER.P. bill.
Republican whip Kenneth S. Wherry told reporters the military alliance was necessary. Through use of the Soviet's veto power, he said, "The United Nations isn't working, and the sooner we know it and get out of it the better."
Backed By Republicans
The controversy raged around an Emmett sentiment backed by Senator Wherry, Sen. Joseph H. Ball, (R—Minn.) and several other GOP "revisionists." It was described by its authors as an effort to stop, by military force if necessary, "The Russian timetable of aggression."
Under the proposal, the U. S. would seek to establish outside of the U.N. an alliance of states willing to act against "aggression or subversion" on the majority vote of a supreme council. No one big nation would have a veto.
would have a veer.
Senator Vandenberg was known to believe that such a step would be fatal to the self-help economic recovery program for Western Europe, and perhaps jeopardize the future of the U.N. as well.
Argues Against Amendment
He told the senate Wednesday that inclusion of military or political provisions in E.R.P. would be "a source of maximum embarrassment to at least a few Western Europeans." Some nations, he added, might find it necessary to pull out from the Marshall plan under such circumstances.
The alliance brought about a paradoxical situation. Some of its strongest backers are not noted for an "internationalist" outlook on foreign policy. As Senator Vandenberg pointed out, the proposal placed its backers in the position of advocating use of U.S. military forces on the order of other nations, and with no U. S. veto reserved.
Buehler Says Tools Are Needed
Some knowledge of parliamentary procedure is necessary for a leader, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, told a joint Y.W.-Y.M.C.A. group Wednesday.
He spoke on the "Tools of Leadership." He was the speaker in the first of a series of four leadership meetings being sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A.
"Parliamentary procedure," according to Professor Buehler, "is nothing but a set of rules set down so you won't drive on the wrong side of the street or fail to stop for a stop sign. It is to keep you from humping fenders.
Professor Buehler said that there are several things a leader must do to be a good leader.
"The leader should always remain neutral in a discussion, draw every member of the group into the discussion, and have a positive attitude."

Delegates Find 'Similar Views' On Treaty Draft
Brussels, March 4—(UP)—Delegates of five nations meeting here to draw up a Western European union found a "great similarity of views" on first examination of a proposed treaty draft.
Delegates heard a keynote speech by Belgian Premier Paul-Henri Spak and examined a draft agreement submitted by the Benelux (Belgium - Netherlands - Luxembourg) countries.
Some reports said the agreement, which will find Britain, France and the Benelux countries together in opposition against the westward march of communism, would contain military clauses in addition to cultural, social and economic provisions.
A communique issued after the meeting said examination of the Benelux draft "revealed a great similarity among the views of the five nations on the question of principles the accord is to realize." May Reach Agreement Soon
Some reliable sources believed that an agreement in effect might be reached by Saturday night. If so, it was expected that British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault might come to Brussels some time next week to sign the draft treaty.
Although there was no official confirmation that military clauses were included in the proposed treaty, Belgian military intelligence sources said the Benelux countries would not object if they were included.
France Reluctant
These sources said France was "reluctant" to include military provisions in what was described officially as merely an economic, social and cultural treaty.
car and therefore. However, it was considered a foregone conclusion that military clauses would be included as the result of recent events in Czechoslovakia and Finland.
Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg are determined to push the conference through on a blitz basis in belief that failure here would be a bad omen for the 16-nation Marshall plan conference in Paris March 15.

Question Right To Hold Records On Dr. Condon
Washington, March 4 — (UP) — Government laws perts huddled today on whether the commerce department should turn over its loyalty records on Dr. Edward U. Condon to the house unAmerican activities committee.
vites committee.
A committee spokesman said he would "not be too surprised" if the department refused to give up its records on Dr. Condon, the world-famous atomic physicist who now heads the commerce department's bureau of standards.
Dr. Condon has been accused by Chairman J. Parnell Thomas (R—N.J.) and two members of his un-American activities committee of associating with an alleged Soviet spy while directing highly secret research on atomic energy and radar.
WAN
He subpoenaed the department yesterday to turn over its records on Condon to the committee tomorrow. Mr. Thomas said he wants to find out the basis of the board's ruling and to release the full text of an F.B.I. letter on Condon's loyalty.
Some government attorneys contend the committee has no right to make the department hand over the files unless it wants to.
Condon, backed by his superiors,
denied the charges. The commerce
department's loyalty board gave him
complete clearance. Mr. Thomas
said he was unable to understand
this decision in the face of the
committee's evidence.
The F.B.I. letter, which figured prominently in the committee's charges against Condon, would fall in this class.
One paragraph of the letter, written by F.B.I. Chief J. Edgar Hoover to Secretary of Commerce W. Averell Hariman last year, said Condon was in touch with an alleged Russian agent as late as 1947.
Condon Denies Charges
Mr. Thomas decided to release the text of the letter after commerce department sources claimed the committee had left out a key sentence. The sentence reportedly said there was no evidence of disloyalty in Dr. Condon's association with this individual.
Mr. Thomas conceded the sentence had been omitted.
