J: Does the Truman Doctrine Bypass Ii?

DRESIDENT TRUMAN and
L Warren Austin, American
delegate to the Security Council,
emphasized this week that Amer
lean financial aid to Greece and
Turkey was an emergency meas
ure and that the United Nations even
tually would be expected to take over
the responsibility.
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 a majority of the General Assem-
bly, or sever of the eleven Security
Council members saw fit.
V~andenberg, chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee, said his
amendment submitting American aid
to U.N. review would end any suspi-
cion that this country was f1outing the
authority of the world peace organiza-
ton.
Congressional reaction to the Van
denberg proposal was mixed. Directors
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
it, assembly authority to making rec
concentrations.
Another legal stumbling block, ex-
perts said, is in the phrase "if re-
quested by a procedural vote of the
Security Council" The charter pro-
vides that procedural questions be de-
cided by seven affirmative votes out of
II, while on questions of substance
there must be even affirmative votes,
including all of the five permanent
members. This is the vital veto power

possessed by the Big Five, and used
frequently in the past by Russia.
In view of council actions in the
past, it is regarded as highly unlikely
that it could accept, without challenge,
the position that any important phase
of the Greco-Turkish question was a
matter of procedure.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) said the
Vandenberg plan was unavoidable but
suggested that the Presidents plan to

the U.N. and that Russia be kicked out

penned a lengthy, exquisite
message of endearment to his
lady love. Addressing the
envelope with care and
scenting his billet doux, the
lad looked at the clock and
snapped back into this world
with a start. There was only
a minute to catch his bus for
town.
Thrusting the letter under
his shirt he slapped on his
hat, grabbed his rain coat,
and took off on the fly to-
ward the bus stop. Midway to
the street he leaped over q
puddle. Alas! The letter
dropped out of his shirt into
the water.
He stopped and surveyed
his loss. The ink blurred as
the water crept across the
face of the envelope. The
rain which had subsided to q
drizzle, freshened into q
shower as he stood there.
He could not help but feel
that it was fitting that all
