Acheson Says Atlantic Pact
Will Be Clear on Aggression

Georgia, committee member
said afterWard no such commit
ment is involved. He added that
in his opinion. however, the treaty
would create a moral obligation
for this country, although it
would leave each signatory nation
free to determine its actions in
event of aggression.
The treaty draft worked out
after eight months of negotiations
seems tor be acceptable to most
members of the committee" said
Senator George. land I think it
will be acceptable to the countries
involved"
But, he asserted, if the alliance
is to have any force and effect"
it will have to be backed up by
American military aid to the Euro
pean members.
Senator George has said pre-
viously that he understands the
initial cost of the program to help
build up the armed forces of the
European nations joining in the
proposed alliance would be more
than 1.000,000,000. The legisla-
ton is being drafted to cover other
American military aid commit
ments, such as the Greek Turkish
program, which are expected to
run the total global cost to near
81 100000,
Actual conclusion of the At
lantic treaty negotiations here,
clearing the way for publication
of the text. awaits final word
from the other governments in
volved on the form of the pact.
The Associated Press reported
from London today that the Brit
ish cabinet is expected to give its
formal approval to the treaty
draft before the Friday session
here. Canada also is expected to
give quick approval.
Norwegian Amba SSador Wilhelm
Munthe de Morgenstierne told a
National Press Club luncheon yes
terday that Norway decided to
join in the pact negotiations be-
cause it was determined never
again to be taken unprepared' by
an aggressor and realized that it
couldn't defend itself without help
from outside.

questions that had been in the
minds of committee members.
Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
and Senator Vandenberg, Republi-
can, of Michigan, ranking minor
! ity member of the committee,
predicted that publication OF the
treaty text will end complaints
and fears that have been expressed
about it in this country.
Represents Views of All.
MI. Acheson, noting that he has
been criticized for keeping the
details of the treaty negotiations
secret, said it was impossible to
make public the details of day-to-
day revisions without making the
negotiations more difficult. AS it
is. he said, the views of all par
ticipating countries have been
harmonized so that the present
draft represents the views OF all.
The Secretary said agreement
has been reached on what addi-
tional countries may be invited to
ioin the pact, but insisted he could
not make public this list of nations
until it is certain they will accept
the invitations.
Negotiations for the pact have
been carried on since last summer
by the United States, Canada,
Great Britain, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Norway joined the list last week.
Denmark, Italy, Portugal and Ice
land are among other possible
SignerS.
Mr.. Acheson devoted most of
his news conference today to a
discussion of the origins OF the
Atlantic pact and it's objectlVes,
and pictured the pact as the end
result of Western policy develop
ments brought on by Soviet OBJ
structionism.
Within U. N. Charter.
In addition to making clear a
collective determination to exer-
else self defense rights against
aggression, MI. Acheson listed OBJ
jectives which he believed were
achieved in the treaty negotiations
as:
/. To make clear that all the
treaty signerS intend to do comes
wholly within provisions OF the
United Nations charter. He SAID
there is not single word, pro-
vision or thought that does not
accord with the charter.
2. To contribute toward eco
nomic recovery by removing a
sense of insecurity.
/ 3. To set up the machinery to
make the collective security ar
raneement effective.
/ After Yesterdays meeting, Sen
ator Connally said he thinks the
treaty will be satisfactory 70
other participating nations, where
there has been some uneasiness
over the scope of American obllga-
tions to help the victim of possible
aggression.
| Commitment Question Raised.
/ Before the committee met with
Mr., Acheson. Senator Watkins,
Republican, of Utah, had raised
anew the question of whether the
pact will involve an automatic
commitment for the United
States to go to war if an alliance
member is attacked.

Operation 10 Improve
Blood Flow 10 Kinq's S
Right Foot Planned
By the Associoied Press

LONDON, Mar. 9.-King George
vi will be operated on-probably
within a week-to get more blood
flowing into his endangered right
foot.
Six doctors. in an announce
ment from Buckingham Palace
last night, said the operation will
be "at an early date Court
correspondents said they under
stood that meant next week and
the surgery probably would be per-
formed at the palace.
This was the first official word
that the ailing 53-year-old King
would undergo surgery for the ar
terial condition that was made
public last November %.
Two Doctors U. Strained.
The operation will be right
side LUMBAR Sympathectomy-the
cutting away of the sympathetic
nerve knots lying in front of the
spine in the lower back. These
nerves help keep the arteries
tightened up, slowing the flow OF
blood into the legs.
Two of the doctors who signed
the bulletin are American-trained.
One is Prof. James Learnonth,
who specialized in this operation
in the United States and was a
surgeon at the Mayo Clinic,
Rochester. Mimi. from 1923 to
1882. The other is Prof. James
Paterson Ross. who was an assocl-
ate in surgery at the Neurological
Clinic of Peter Bent Brigham
Hospital. Boston. in the '20s.
First word of the Kings illness
in November was coupled with
an announcement canceling the
proposed royal family tour OF
Austria and New Zealand.
All Engagements Cancelled.
His majesty Cancelled all en-
gagements and public ceremonies
to rest quietly.
This complete rest and series
Of treatments led to what the doc
tors called satisfactory recovery
in the left leg and prevented the
gangrene which it was at first
feared might set in.
The disease from which the
King suffers is known technically
as thromboangiitis obliteranS-a
progressive tightening of the
arteries due to Inflammation in
side them. The technique OF
lumbar sympathectomy has been
known for about Is years.
Medical authorities said in most
cases the patient is under anes-
thesia for no more than half
hour. They said the operation Is
not regarded as serious.

Some Roads Blocked.

Other families fled their homes
in Seward and the flood waters
reached within two blocks of the
business district of Crete, a col
lege town of 5000. Some roads in
the area of O'Neill and Albion
were impossible because OF mud
and snow runoff and washed out
bridges.
- Threatened by backwaters of
the Mississippi River tributaries
in Eastern Louisiana. 245 families
have been evacuated from their
bottom land homes. The MlsslS-
sippi is above flood stage from
Baton Rouge to New Orleans but
below flood stage from Baton
Rouge north.
Water from ice-jammed tribu-
taries of the Missouri covered
thousands of acres of Iowa low
lands. Many families fled their
homes.

Three Lawyers Back
Uniform Military Code
By the kssocioted Press

Three New York lawyers today
commended a proposal to estab-
lish q uniform code OF justice
for all the armed forces, but they
all had one fault to find with 1t.
They agreed that the plan,
backed by the services. does not
60 far enough in removing mill
tary courts from the influence,
and possible domination, OF COM
manding officers.
The lawyers testified before a
House Armed Services Subcom-
mittee at a hearing on the pro-
poSal.
They were Frederick P. Bryan
of the New York City Bar Asso-
citation. Richard H. Wells OF the
New York County Lawyers Asso-
citation. and Arthur Farmer OF
the War Veterans Bar Assocla-
ton of New York.
There is little difference be-
tween an Army court which has
been influenced by its command
ing officer and the Budapest
tribunal which recently convicted
Cardinal Mindszenty.' Mr.. Wells
told the subcommittee.
THE bill before you, while not
the ideal measure for which we
have striven, is a large improve
ment upon the existing system. y
The proposed code was drafted
by a committee appointed by Sec
retary of Defense Forrestal and
headed by Edmund M. Morgan,
Harvard University law profess
sor. It would place all armed
forces under a single basic code,
and sAndardize legal procedures.

No Jurors Selected,
86 Excused From Duty
In Trial Of Communists
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 9-The task
of picking jury for the conspiracy
trial of II top Communist leaders
continues today, with Sc persons
already excused on grounds that
serving would cause business or
family hardship.
When court adjourned yesterday,
Federal Judge Harold R. Medina
still had four score prospective
jurors to begin examining today
to weed out those who are biased
or otherwise ineligible.
Not a juror has been picked,
although the selection process
started Monday after a seven
week delay caused by an un-
successful defense attack on the
jury system here.
Selection May Take Week?
Judge Medina has estimated it
may take a week or more to pick
a jury for trial of the Communists
on charges of conspiracy to ad-
vocate forcible overthrow of the
Government.
He said the jury will not be
locked up during the trial, which
may take as long as two months
or more, unless something unfore-
seen happens.
The prospective jurors examined
yesterday were those who sought
to be excused. Those willing to
serve were left for questioning
starting today.
One of those questioned yester-
day, Joseph Young, an insurance
man, said he wished to be excused
because of his absolute con-
tempt" for the defendants. He
also said the expected length of
the trial would work a hardship
on him.
Others Are Warned.
Judge Medina. waving Mr..
Young aside, warned other poten-
tial jurors against such state
ments, which I cnsider outbursts."
1T is not fair to the defendants,
and it is not fair to the Govern
ment," the Judge said.
We have our American tradl-
. tions to maintain here. and get
ting fair and impartial jury is
very important to the proper ad-
. ministration of justice, so just
put that statement from your
. mind and forget it. Keep your
mind open until all the evidence
is in and the judge has instructed
the jury"

Hundreds Homeless
As Floods Rise in
a Western States
BY the Associated Press

Flood waters left hundreds
homeless in four States today.
A new flood threat developed in
Montana and rising waters
plagued many areas of Nebraska,
still reeling after Winter-long
bout with weather's elements:
Surging waters from swollen
streams spilled over thousands
of acres of land IN Nebraska,
Iowa, Montana and Louisiana. But
colder weather in many parts of
the Midwest checked some of the
overflow.
The Missouri River was gen.
orally below flood stage over its
course through eight States from
Northern Montana to Southern
Illinois. But many of the big
rivers tributaries were on a mild
rampage.
Montana Ranchers Warned.
Minor floods were caused north
of Sidney, Mont, after ice 80 to 40
inches deep blocked the Yellow
stone River and sent water over its
banks. Some residents expressed
fear of widespread floods if the ice
gorge backed up for 20 miles.
Farmers and ranchers along the
river were urged to leave their
homes and remove their livestock.
In Southeastern Montana, the
Tongue River was running bank
full and threatened to flood Miles
City. The Missouri River is frozen
from the mountains near Helena
to the headWaterS and no immedl-
ate flood is threatened. Colder
air slowed the runotf of melted
snow and reduced the flood hazard
in most sections of the State.
Many Nebraska communities
battled the rising waters. At
Beatrice. nearly 100 families were
evacuted as the Big Blue River
overf1owed. Four of the eight
schools in the city of 1000 closed.
