Treaty. Ratification Rule
Change Meets Opposition

four proposals by Senator Gillette
D-Iowa) calling for constitutional
amendments to set aside the two
thirds Senate majority require
ment. One would permit simple
majority of the Senate to ratlfy.
Another would allow ratification by
majority of both houses.
The obstacles. as Connally and
other members of the committee
see them, are:
/. Adoption Of constitutional
amendement requires approval by
a two-thirds majority of both
houses and approval by the legis'
latures of three-fourths of the
states. They estimate it would re-
uuire a minimum of two years to
put one through.
2. Action approving an interna-
tlonal peace organization Wi h
force to resist aggression should
be sought as soon as its nature
has been determined fully.
3. Prolonged debate over a pro-
posal to set aside a constitutional
prerogative of the Senate might
arouse bitterness h t would
threaten peace proposals them
selves.
II feat it would be much more
difficult to get the Senate to
change the rules by a two-thirds
vote than it would be to get il
to ratify a treaty it has before
it for examination" George said

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 lP' -
A revived proposal to permit ratl-
fication of treaties by a majority
vote of House and Senate ran
into opposition today in the Senate
foreign relations committee.
Even some members favorable
Ito setting aside the constitutional
requirement that a tWo-thirds ma
;ority of the Senate approves trea-
ties opposed action at this time.
They took the view that it would
be more difficult to get the Senate
to vote two to one to change the
rules than it would be to get the
same majority to ratify treaty.
The issue was revived by an ap-
zeal from Chairman Bloom d.
N.Y. of the House Foreign Affairs
committee for republican support
for his proposed constitutional
amendment to permit ratification
by q majority vote of each house.
Bloom argued that exclusion of
the House from treaty considera-
ton 'leaves the direct represen-
tatives of the people without any
thing to say"
Senator George D-Ga) told re-
porters he regarded h e matter
'as an academic discussion"

Montgomery Ward
Suits Against WLB
And vinson Dismissed

Justice Matthew r. Mcclure Of
District Court has dismissed the six
remaining Montgomery Ward q Co.
suits which sought injlnctions to
prevent the War Labor Board and
Economic Stabilization Director
Vinson from taking any steps to en-
force WLB directives.
Government motions to dismiss
the suits were taken under advise
ment by Justice MCGUIRE after hear
ing arguments last Thursday. At
that time Attorney Harry /. Rand
Of the Justice Department asked dis
Inissal in line with recent Court of
Appeals decisions to the effect that
WLB directives are not subject to
court review.
Justice McGuire's decision came
on the heels Of the Supreme Court
refusal on Monday to review q motor
carriers group case in which the
Court of Appeals had ruled WLB
directives not renewable in court.
Meanwhile, still pending Is q petit
tion by Montgomery Ward & Co.
asking the Supreme Court to review
another of the Montgomery Ward
cases in which the Court Of Appeals
had reversed a District Court deci-
sion. The District Court had denied
a Government motion to dismiss.
The suit in which the Montgom-
cry Ward firm seeks a review in the
highest court concerns the firms
stores in Detroit, Denver and ia
maica, N. Y.
The WLB directives all involve
union maintenance and some of
them wages and arbitration. The
six cases which Justice MCGUIRE dis
missed yesterday involved the firms
stores in Oakland, Calf; Portland,
Greg; Chicago, st. Paul, Mimi, and
the Hummer Manufacturing Co., at
Springfield, ILL.,, a subsidiary of
Montgomery Ward. Two Of the suits
involved separate WLB directives
concerning the st. Paul plant.
The Hummer plant has been
seized by the Government and is
being operated by it. The Chicago
plant, covered in one of the suits,
also at one time was seized by the
Government and then returned, it
was pointed out by Henry r. Butler,
attorney for Montgomery Ward &
Co., who opposed the Government
motion to dismiss the suits.
