European Council Ends
Sessions After Votinq
Bill Of Human Rights
BY the Associated Press

STRASBOURG, France, Sept.
s.-The Council of Europe's Con-
sultative Assembly wound up its
historic first session today shortly
after approving bill of human
rights
During its one month sitting the
12-nation body approved num-
Der of recommendations which
may help weld the political and.
economic unity of Europe.
The entire session was domi-
mated by oft-repeated assertions
that Europe-despite Marshal
plan aid-stands on the brink of
economic and political disaster
from which it can be rescued only
by unity.
Since the assembly only has ad-
visory powers, the human rights
measure must be approved by the
IL nations of the European council
to become effective.
British Laborites Abstain.
The resolution guaranteeing 10
specific fundamental human free
doms passed IS to l with II alb
stentions.. Most of the British
Laborite group. who opposed the
measure, abstained from voting.
British Laborite opposition to
the proposal for an international
court to enforce observance of
human rights was based on fears
that such body might become a
sounding board for Communist
propaganda.
Under its present setup the 101-
member assembly has no real
authority, it can debate and pass
resolutions which in turn must
be approved or rejected by the
Council of Europe's guiding body,
the 12-member Committee of
Ministers representing the various
governments.
1t is up to each member govern
ment as to whether the Council of
Europe recommendations will be
observed.
Rights and Freedoms Listed.
The human rights resolution
calls upon the member govern
ments to sign convention agree
ing to observe the bill of 10 hu-
man rights indorsed by the as
sembly and to set up a European
Court of Human Rights.
The 10 rights and freedoms
were listed as:
l. Security of the person.
2. Exemption from all slavery
and servitude.
8. Freedom from all arbitrary
arrest, detention and exile.
4. Freedom from all arbitrary
Interference in private and family
life, home and correspondence.
5. Freedom of thought, con-
science and religion.
6. Freedom of opinion and
expression.
Z. Freedom of assembly.
8. Freedom of association.
9. Freedom to be united in trade
unions.
10. The right to marry and
found a family.
2 Major Reports Approved.
Besides the human rights
resolution, the assembly in it's
month-long session approved two
major reports recommending:
/. Eventual creation of Euro
pean authority" with real power to
guide the European nations
toward federation or union.
2. Organization of m m be r
countries and their overseas terri
tories or associated dominions into
o single preferential tariff system
with eventual free exchange of
eurrencies. 1t also recommended
that an assembly delegation nego-
tiate with the United States for
lower tariffs.
The IL nations comprising the
body are Britain, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands, Luxembourg,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy,
Ireland. Turkey and Greece.

Some Unions Exempt
From Taft Boycott

Hot Cargo Clause
Of Contracts Upheld
In Teumsters Case

on to provide the answer. 1t may
range from what is frankly sub
