HEFLIN MAY VOTE
 4AYE' ON TREATY
Junior Alabama Senator Is in Doubtful Column in the
 Pact Fight
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald.
 Il...-.

OOO Davidson Building, Washington. March 28.-(SpeciaL) It is understood tonight that Senator J. Thomas Heflin, respecting the four power treaty is in the doubtful column.
 While the junior Alabama senator, since the treaty was presented to the Senate has made no statement, either on the floor or elsewhere for publi- cation, he was until tonight regard ed as one of it's opponents.
 Senator Heflin has made no state ment tonight and probably will have nothing to say before casting his vote. It would occasion no surprise, however. were he to vote aye"
 Senator Underwood, one of the leaders in the pro-treaty fight, said tonight that while he was counting on only II democrats to support the treaty he would not be surprised if the number in the end was as great as 15.
 Eleven democratic votes would be more than sufficient to secure ratifi- cation.
