vandenberg Is Ready
To Fight for Dual Role
In High Senate Posts
Expected to Triumph
In 6. O. P. Conference
Despite Opposition
BY the Associofed Press

Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan was described
today as ready for a showdown
in the Republican conference If
any challenge develops to his
prospective dual role as the Sen
ate's presiding officer and For
eign Relations Committee chair
man.
Senator Robertson, Republican, of
Wyoming has served notice that he
is opposed to any Senator's holding
two jobs of public" nature when
the Republicans take over control
at the start of the new Congress.
Senator Robertson repeatedly has
the support of Senators Wilson, Re
publican, of Iowa and LANCER, Re-
publican. of Indiana in move
aimed ID at barring Senator Van
denberg from two offices and "a at
preventing Senator White, Repub-
lican, of Maine from holding both
the floor leadership and the chair
manship of the new Commerce
Committee.
Expected to Win Easily.
But friends of Senator Vanden-
berg said the Michigan Senator is
determined to fight for the two
places in the party's December 80
conference, if necessary. There are
indications that Senator White will
follow suit, and the two veterans
appear likely to win handily any
voting test of this nature.
AS chief spokesman on foreign
affairs for the new Senate majority,
Senator Vandenberg has agreed to
take the lead in fighting for about
$50, 100000 in congressional appro-
priations expected to be asked for
the U. N. and several of its auxiliary
organizations.
Position on Relief Funds.
But the Michigan Senator has
served notice that proposed United
States contribution of 5000, 900 to-
ward the $165, ,0O0, 900 to be spent by
the new international refugees Or
ganization may have to shift for
itself.
The charter is SO drawn that the
refugee organization comes into
operation when Is member nations
representing contributions of three
fourths of the s165 ,0O0, 900 sign up.
The United States share would
remain $75,000,000 of any amount
thus guaranteed, and Sen. Vanden-
berg is said to feel that the Ameri-
can contribution might be out of
proportion to what other nations
gave to finance an undertaking that
might fall short of solving the
whole displaced persons problem.

Relations Committee and Sena-
tor Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan will accompany him to
the meeting of Big Four Foreign
Ministers in Moscow March 10

Mr.. Byrnes told a news conference
that agreements reached at recent
sessions of the foreign ministers in
New York, where Senators Connally
and Vandenberg served as his ad-
visers, should facilitate progress on
the German and Austrian settle
ments but did not mean that all
difficulties have been overcome.
Because Of the added legislative
duties he will assume in the new
Congress, Senator Vandenberg has
been expected by some associates to
ask to be relieved of future work as
a United Nations delegate.
Senator Connally, whom the Mich

Relations chairman, told a news
conference yesterday he thinks he
has contributed all he can to the
United Nations, indicating he would
