VANDERBILT PROPOSES
 GOVERNMENT CHANGE
Suggests Special Council Be Given
 Treaty Making Powers

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Denounc- ing as incompetent the machinery by which the United States handles it's foreign relations, Frank A. Vanderlip of New York, former president of the National City bank, in an address here today advocated constitutional change which would take the treaty. making power out of the hands of the President, Secretary of State and the Senate and place 1t in "council of foreign relations" to be elected by the people.
 The council suggested by Mir. Van derlip would consist of 25 members elected from the country at large and it would be one of his provisions that at least one-half of the council should spend it's time abroad so as to get the proper experience and come to understand what foreign re- lations really mean. Mr. Vanderlip would have the members of the coun- cil serve for term of at least ten years so as to give continuity to the American foreign policy, lack of which, he said. is one great fault of the political system which at this time deals with foreign affairs.

 The bill. which was introduced by Senator Turnbull of the senate, met with approval by vote of IS to 14. after lengthy debate over an amendment offered of Senator Stokes which had the same wording as the house amendment. The Stokes amendment failed by one vote, which anti-lash leaders contend was due to the absence of two senators.

There was no reply to the question and a motion was made to adopt the bill.
 The Turnbull measure seeks to prohibit the whipping of county con- vets and to abolish corporal punish ment in all state convict camps for a period of two years. It was point ed out by Senator Turnbull that in the event the experiment of handling prisoners without the whip proved a failure during the next two years proper authorities would order cor poraI punishment restored.
