Action on Truman Race
~ the Assoejqfed Press

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, May 27.-Il-
hnois Democratic leaders planned
to put aside presidential talk at
their State convention today and
refrain from taking sides for the
present.
Party spokesmen said they ex-
pected no formal convention action
either for or against President Tru-
man for denomination.
To avoid conflict at this stage
the strategy apparently called for
free hand until the States Co.
vote delegation gets to the ma
tional convention. '.
Many of the Illinois party chiefs
either are for Mr.. Truman Or unde-
cided on a 1948 presidential NOM
inee. But some others have been
sparkling an anti-Truman drive
They said today they would oppose
any State convention move to in
dorse President Truman.
Twenty national delegates at
large, each with two-fifths of a
vote, will be named today. Fifty
two delegates. each with full vote,
were elected in the primary. ..
| Among those slated for, delegate
at large are Mayor Martin H. Ken
nelly of Chicago, Senator Lucas,
Paul Douglas. the party's nominee
for Senator, and James c. Petrillo,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Musicians.

Branch School for Negroes.
The State set up q small law
school for Negroes in the State
Capitol Building in January and

Senate Group Backs
Defense Pacts Until
u. n. Gains Strength

Regional defense pacts between
like-minded nations offer the best
hope for peace until the United Ma
tions is stronger. the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee told the Senate
today.
Chairman Vandenberg filed a
nine-page report on the committees
resolution. recommending gradual
development Of such regional agree
ments as one of six steps for i'm
proving the U. N. The committee
adopted the resolution last week,
13 to 0.
The committee report emphasized,
however, that adoption of this reso-
luton in no way commits the United
States in advance to the details of
any regional arrangement. The reso-
luton, which will be called up for
debate before adjournment next
month, is merely an expression of
the sentiment Of the Senate for the
guidance Of the President in seeking
to improve U. N. procedures.
The report refers to the inter-
American agreement worked out at
Rio de Janeiro last year and to the
Brussels agreement signed by five
Western European nations this year
as examples of regional pacts that
will help prevent another war until
such time as the world is ready to
give the U. N. an. international
armed force to keep the peace.
1T has been contended in some
quarters, incorrectly, that this reso-
luton would empower the President
to finance shipments of arms to
Europe or underwrite a general Eu-
ropean defense pact without appro--
pirate congressional approval" the
committee report declared. "On this
point the members Of the committee
are unequivocally in agreement.
During the committee deliberations
1t was repeatedly emphasized that
the resolution does not bestow upon
the President any additional au-
thority whatsoever to make any
commitment without the subsequent
approval OF Congress normally re-
quired under the Constitution"
The committee admits that mis-
use of the veto has obstructed the
proper functioning" of the U. N,
but it urges the Senate to 60 on
record at this time only for volun-
tary agreements to curtal the veto
power, rather than to attempt revi-
sion of the charter at this time.
