A strange situation will confront
the United States II in the closing
hours Of the San Francisco confer
ence the Senate rejects the first
concrete plan for economic world
cooperation submitted TO II. Many
delegates from the 40 nations will
say, you may be sure, that this
country is supporting world Sc
curity by words, not deeds, IL fav-
orable Senate action is not given
for the extension OF the Reciproc-
al Trade Agreement Act.
President Humans last-minute
appeal won the measure almost
complete Democratic support in the
House without any weakening
amendments. But the going will be
tougher in the Senate. where Sem
ate rules permit unlimited debate.
Three Republican senators. To
hey OF New Hampshire. Aiken OF
Nermant, and Smith Of New Jersey
have taken an independent stand

4. The Russian attitude, follow
ing the line that the Big Three

that any Franco Soviet alliance
was subordinate to Big Three co.

shock to the French government

mitted that Mr.. Looney had 'hit''

lice car but II did not interfere

what the boy was charged with.

Councilman Vow later COM
mended Mr.. Wilson'S assistance
with department heads in the in

Wilson, as police officer you
owe the public more protection
than to allow another officer to
beat up man in your presence.
But because of your attitude in
helping the chiefs, I believe you'll
continue to make a good officer. "
Councilman R. r. Romeo declar-
ed the discussion had developed
the need for thorough Inspection
before the officers go on duty, "
and also 'it's puzzling to me on
what grounds the Negro was con-
victed in court.
To this, Mr.. Vow asserted sit S
not pulling at all, if you know
the courts. They 60 on the testl-
mony of the investigating officers
and a Negro is never trusted any
way. If the court had had the in
formation we do, the Negro would
never have been convicted. How
can a Negro go in and offer testi-
mony in a court?"
Mr.. Romeo's substitute motion
concerning the policeman was Of
fered on his asserted belief that
''there is much conflicting testi-
mony. I don't think we know all
the facts" ...
Concurring with Mr.. Romeo,
Councilman Garland Currin said
II understand other men say Loo
ney has been drunk before. Let's

mostly agreed that the accusations
would amount to hearsay.

it's our duty to make a recon-

Mr.. Looney to be guilty of cas-

Lewis on February 26 served
notice on the National Labor Re-
