 COURT PLAN
Women Leaders Steer Clear Of Charges Of Par
 tiSanship

ATLANTA, May 11.-(By Asso- ciated Press. 1.-The General Fedora tion of Women's Clubs in session here put through it's program today in support of adjudication of interna- tional disputes and kept clear of pos sible charges of partisanship by striking from it's resolution any ref erence to specific agencies. Action on the resolution brought little dis cussion after Mrs. Percy V. Penny packer of Texas appealed to the delegates to place .he entire matter above politics.
 With the adoption of 12 other res olutions the federation virtually con cluded it's business today.
 A pending proposal, which was ex- pscted to cause much interest among the delegates, proposal which would turn the federation into a foundation with an endowment Of to the court council today when spon- sors of the plan decided to place it before the board of directors for recommendation. The founda ion would be created to further certain welfare movements now under way and which are said to be hampered through inability of the federation to expand because of incorporation restrictions. Since the council as a whole concludes it's sessions tonight it was considered doubtful whether the matter would be brought out by the board of directors which meets tomorrow night.
