Word Organization
Without Veto Urged
By 6. 0. P. Senator's

An effort to get a new world
organization without the veto,
which has hampered the United
Nations, was injected today into
Senate debate on the Marshall
Plan.
A group Of Republican revisionists,
led by Senator Ball of Minnesota,
prepared to offer an amendment to
have this country take the lead in
setting up new international
council, outside OF U. NJ, the men,
bers of which would agree to make
their armed forces and resources
available to defend a member state
against aggression or subversion in
any FORM"
Senator Brewster of Maine, one
of the Republican sponsors, called
lit an "offensive-defensiv alliance"
to provide for effective collective
security without the paralyzing
power of the Veto"
Russia Not Named.
Although Russia Is not named in
the amendment, its purpose is OBJ
vious. The Soviet Union several
times has used the veto power she
holds as one of the big five" per:
manent members of the u. N.
Security Council. The other four are
the United States, Britain, France
and China. All members of the U. N.
Security Council would be eligible,
but would have to come In under
the new terms.
The revisionists, who drew up the
plan at one OF their nightly gather
ings, also want to cut the amount of
financial aid in the European Re-
covery bill, but they did not reach
any final agreement last night on the
size of the cut they will propose.
During yesterdays Marshall Plan
debate, Senator Ball assailed the
spread Of Russian tyranny" and
said Western Europe must be offered
a means Of political security as well
as economic stability.
Senator Balls amendment would
direct the President and Secretary
of State to open immediate talks
with other members of the United
Nations.
The aim would be to try to win
agreement among as many countries
as possible on the new power backed
super agency.
Eleven Member Supreme Council.
Specifically the agreement would
provide.
/. That q supreme council should
be set up. 1t would consist of II
members, just as does the U. N.
Security Council. Those nations
holding a permanent seat on the
Security Council would receive the
same position in the new group
but only by signing the agreement.
Other nations elected to the U. N.
Council would hold membership in
the new group-also on ratifying the
agreement.
Vacancies caused by the refusal
of any Security Council members to
go along would be filled from the
ranks of other countries taking part
in the new venture.
2. Each Supreme Council member
would have one vote. Decisions of
the Council would be made when
seven members, including a ma
jority of the permanent members,
agreed.
3. All signers of the agreement
would promise to make their armed
forces and resources available when
ever the Supreme Council decided
they were needed to preserve peace
or to defend member state against
aggression or subversion in any
form" NJ
In addition to the Supreme Coul-
Gil proposal, Senator Ball said, there
was general agreement at the re-
visionist session that the S. 300 900, =
600 contemplated for the first year
Of the European recovery program
should be slashed.

!. The Security Council must make
1t clear that 1t Is determined not to

2. The Security Council must take

port meant principally that the four
powers were convinced that some-
thing would have to be done to stop
fighting in Palestine both before and
after May Is when the British give
up rule and the u. N. takes over.
Still unanswered was the question of
exactly what the Council should do.

Offer 10 Buy PM; Will
Run for Congress
BY the Assoeioied Press

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Mar. 1s.-|
Clinton D. McKinnon has with
drawn his offer to purchase the
newspaper PM from Marshall Field
and will remain in San Diego to
run for Congress on the Democratic
ticket.
Mr.. McKinnon, who offered to
buy the paper contingent on an
agreement with the CIO American
Newspaper Guild on labor rela-
tions, announced last night that
he had broken off negotiations with
the guild.
He will seek the Congress seat
held by Republican Representative
Fletcher.
The Marshall Field offer to sell
PM to me was very attractive" Mr..
McKinnon declared. But
when it came down to the actual
decision I felt that San Diego and
friendships here and the oppor-
tunity for service are superior to
the big time of New York"
To Stop Publishing March 26.
He said he had notified the guild
of his decision. The guild had
planned to send a committee here
to negotiate with him on his re-
quest that he be allowed to hire
and fire for 80 days without ref
erence to the present PM guild
contract.
Mr.. Field has announced that he
will discontinue publishing the
newspaper on March 26. whether
or not Mr.. McKinnon and the guild
came to an agreement.
PM was founded in 1910 by Mr..
Field and others. He became sole
owner in 1912. The paper has a
total of about 400 employees.
In New York guild committee
charged that Mr. McKinnon 'delib-
erately has misled the guild and
PM employees by backing out Of his
agreement to meet with guild ne
gotiators to work out the language
for settlement of the principles pre-
viously agreed on through telephone
conversations Tuesday night"
800 Employees Affected.
The committee said discontinue
tion of PM would affect about 800
employees.
The committee said the guild
questioned Marshall Fields sin
cerity in this entire matter" and
declared Mr.. Fields announcement
that he would close the paper, along
with his offer to sell it to Mr.. Nc
Kinnon, was actually a violation of
the contract between the guild and
PM"
The committee demanded that
Mr.. Field assume his rightful re-
sponsibilities and agree to discuss
the sale of PM with six prospective
buyers who have made offers Z"
and whom the guild believes would
act in more responsible manner"
Mr.. Field was not immediately
available for comment.

State Official 10 Study
Delay in Widening Of
Silver Spring Road

Chairman Robert M. Reindollar
of the Maryland State Roads Com
mission last night promised his per-
sonal attention to complaints
against delays and inconvenience
on the Georgia avenue construction
project in Silver Spring.
The commissioner also said, in an
address to the Silver Spring Board
Of Trade, that engineers of his de-
partment would be instructed to
check on the work and recommend
steps to expedite its completion.
Mr.. Reindollar's pledge was warm
ly applauded by 70 business men of
the community who aired their
grievances. They said business has
been seriously curtailed and Pc
destrians unnecessarily incon-
venienced by torn-up streets and
unbridged bitches.
Foreman Is Criticized.
Members of the board directed
criticism Of the paving contractors,
the Wilmoth Paving Co., Inc; at
John Troxler, job foreman, who
attended the meeting. Mr.. Troxler
was heckled when he said the work
probably will not be completed until
November.
Mr.. Reindollar held out, no hope
to Silver Spring for additional ma
jor road construction in the near
future. He said the improvement
OF Route 240, the Rockville pike, has
top priority on heavy construction
for Montgomery County and that
large projects in the eastern section
probably cannot be undertaken for
several years.
The commissioner explained that
many factors are weighed in de-
termining the order of highway
projects. Within limitations of
available funds, he said, the COM
mission must consider legislative
direction, both State and county
needs, the place of a given road in
the regional system of highways,
traffic and other matters.

Board Of Trade President Blair
Lee III said Eastern Montgomery
wanted to know how long it would

tension Of Georgia avenue that

around Olney."
Mr.. Reindollar said he considered
the Silver Spring area was doing
very we'll by getting its present work.
More money is being spent in
Silver Spring than in any other sec
ton of the State" he said.
Mr.. Reindollar said the Roads
Commission hopes to start work on
the Rockville pike project late this
year or early in l949. Plans are con-
tingent on an agreement on the
point Of entry into the District, he
added. Approximately $5000,0o0 will
be allocated to the Montgomery
stretch, out Of total State fund of
