and cannot regain it.
Recognizing that fact, we
earnestly insist for the good of our
country that Mr.. Acheson be re-
placed as Secretary of State, that
there be thorough housekeeping
in the State Department, and
changes in personnel and policies
responsible for this lack of con-
fidence." ..-..--,
No Congress Action Required.
The amendment added by the
Senate group was:
1--WE pledge our fullest co-opera-
ton with the President and the
administration in a united effort
to meet by the most effective
means the present national crisis
For this effort there must be ma
tional cooperation in substance
as well as in form, In fact as well
as in name"
The resolutions require no &C
ton by Congress as they represent
only the views of the Republican
members as a party. Senator
Millikin of Colorado, the chair
man of the Senate conference,
said the resolution would not be
sent to Mr.. Truman as it is pub
lie notice" and I'VE assume it will
come to the Presidents atten-
ton" Chairman Martin of the
House conference said earlier,
however. a copy of the one ap-
proved on that side would be sent
to the President. '.'.-'. ~

member Of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, later issued a
statement saying he questioned
the wisdom of the party deci-
