SECURITY TREATY
APPROVAL TALKED
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-tR-I
Senator Connaly D-Tex, propos-
ed today that congress delay de-
filming the powers of an American
delegate until the senate approves
an enabling treaty for a projected
world security organization. Two
prominent Republicans backed
him up.
The Texan, chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations committee,
told reporters he thought Congress
could and must write it's own
ticket on the extent Of authority to
be given this nations representa-
tive in a world council" But he
said it should not imperil by con-
troversy over this question the
peace-keeping structure for which
the foundations were laid at the
Dumbarton Oaks conference.
I'VE can set up the powers OF
the American delegate in separate
legislation after we have approved
the general plan for a security or.
ganization," Connally said. THAT
is the way it should be done. Con.
gress can say exactly how much
authority, if any at all, such del
egate could have to order Ameri-
can military forces into action te
prevent or repel aggression.
This question of authority has
developed as one Of the most con
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1944-11-26

ferences to iron out differences be-
tween House and Senate versions
OF the road bill.
The week end saw the stage
set by House ways and means
committee action for two possible
closing brushes between admins
tration forces and opposition in
this congress.
The committee decided to con-
slider legislation freezing" again
the 1 per cent social security tax
on employers and employees. The
administration wants the tax to 90
ur to Per cent as provided in the
social security act. Congress al
ready has blocked the automatic
rise three times.
'FFreeze" proponents repeatedly
were insure that they could mus.
ter the votes tc override an ex.
pected veto if their plan passes,
and talk of compromise on a rise
to l IL per cent was increasing.
Hearings will begin Monday.
The other controversy prospect
stemmed from a IS to 9 ways and
means v.te against consideration
Of legislation to revive minimum
price regulations for bituminous
coal. Congress let the control act
die last year, but the President has
asked again for its renewal. There
were indications that the matter
would be held over until after Janu-
ary 3 when the Democrats will
have greater strength in the new
House.
