Wleldy delegations. 1t was tactic that
at times had proved successful in Paris

The restricted sessions followed
blunt speech by American Secretary OF

posed, said Marshall, policies which

would be impossible to reach agree

merely for the sake of agreement The
United States recognizes that its re-

and it is more concerned in building
solidly than in building fast.

Coal is saturated with the blood of

ure and that the United Nations even

In Congress, Sen Arthur Vanden-
berg (R-Mich) proposed that the U.N.
b. given the power to change or halt
American aid to Greece or Turkey any
time majority of the General Assem-
bly, or seven Of the eleven Security
Council members saw fit
Vandenbcrg, chairman Of the Senate

amendment submitting American aid
to U.N review would end any suSpi-
cion that this country was noutng the
authority Of the world ocace organiza-
ton.
Congressional reaction to the Van
denberg proposal was mixed Objcctors
claimed it would weaken the U. s.
stand both in the eyes of Russia whom
it was designed to stop and in the eyes
Of small states whom it was designed
TO buttress.
Legal Issues Raised
The Vandenberg plan. they said,
would also involve the infant U.N. in
legal squabbles over interpretation of
the charter. In agreeing to abide by
decision of the General Assembly, it
runs counter to the charter which linn
