Referring briefly to the interna-

added. 1T passes my comprehen-
sion how some people who dislike
communism and make it ar

to overall, large-scale, wholesale

AS Domestic Laws
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

Senator Bricker, Republican, of
Ohio, said yesterday there is prac-
tically no human activity which
treaties now under consideration
by the United Nations do not seek
to regulate.
Senator Bricker testified before
IA Senate Judiciary subcommittee
on a constitutional amendment he
proposed to prohibit the use of
the treaty as an instrument of

The amendment, which he Of
fered for himself and So other

The U. N. draft covenant on

said, is a perfect illustration of
the domestic legislation by treaty" "
'The idea that a universal bill
Of rights can be imposed on several

Opposition by Truman
Would Help kefauver,
Two Senator's Say
BY the Associated Press

The more opposition Senator
Kefauver gets in his race for the
Democratic presidential nominal
ton, two sources said today, the
faster he seems to run.
Two Senate colleagues of the
TenneSSean, Senator Humphrey of
Minnesota and Senator Murray of
Montana, said any opposition from
President Truman would enhance
Kefauver's bid.
Senator Humphrey and Senator
Murray were interviewed after
President Truman was quoted yes
terday as saying he hopes sup
porters of California Attorney
General Edmund G. Brown will
win the States June 3 primary.
The Brown ticket is opposed by al
slate favoring Senator Kefauver.
Mr.. Brown made the statement
after a White House visit and
said it was authorized by Presi-
dent Truman. However, the White
House said later Mr.. Truman
wished Mr.. Browns delegation
good luck but intended no impli-
cations about Senator Kefauver.
Seen Thriving on Opposition.
Senator Humphrey and Sena-
tor Murray said they doubt Presi-
dent Truman is trying to stop
Kefauver.
1T has become pretty obvious
that Estes Kefauver thrives on the
opposition of Democratic party
leaders," Senator Humphrey said.
''The President is too smart a
politician not to know that"
Senator Murray agreed, adding
that such a statement would help
Senator Kefauver win the sup
port Of a lot of people who are
against the President"
Senator Kefauver now leads the
Associated Press tabulation of
delegate strength with us, against
921a for w. Averell Hartman of

cessions, pledges, instructions and
avowed preferences. Nomination

cago requires GIG votes.
North CarOlinians Meet.
North Carolina Democrats, /
meanwhile, assembled at Raleigh |
for a State convention to pick a
S2-vote delegation to the national
convention. Senator Kefauver
forces set up headquarters, but
the delegation. although expected
to go uninstructed, probably will
favor Senator Russell of Georgia.
Senator Kefauver was in Cali
fornia where, at Santa Barbara,
he attacked the delegate slate
pledged nominally to Mr.. Brown
The California official has said the
68-vote delegation, if his slate wins
June 3, would decide at Chicago
which nominee-candidate to sup
port.
They are asking you to buy a
pig in a poke" the Senator said.
Warren Linked to Eisenhower.
Among Republicans, the word
went out to California supporters
of Gen. Eisenhower to vote June 3
for Gov. Warren's delegate ticket.
The idea was that Gov. Warren
could throw his weight to Gen.
Eisenhower at the G.. o. p. con-
vention July 7 at Chicago.
Gen. Eisenhower is not entered
IN the California primary.
The general is running second to
Senator Taft in the Associated
