Mr.. Ibanez has been governing
with lame duck Congress since
his election to the presidency by
an overwhelming margin last
September.
The poor showing of the

of units among the three pro-
government groups which put
up candidates in yesterdays
elections. Some also saw the
recent visit to Chile of Argentine
President Juan Domingo Peron
as having caused voters to de-
eide against Mr.. Ibanez.

and 40.
Progress of the disease is err

internal organs of the body. No
two cases seem to be alike. Null
tiple Sclerosis lasts, in some
cases, for many years.
There is no known cure as yet.
Doctors say research is many
years behind in getting at the
main cause Of the disease.
The, national society was
formed in 1916. Some II re-
search projects. investigating the
disease, are under way through

Editor AssaiIs Plan
To Curb Presidents
Power on treaties
BY The Assoeia,ed Prsss


A Senate proposal to restrict
Americas treaty powers is typi-
cal Of Commissions and anxieties"
which threaten the existence Of
the United Nations, q Midwest
ern newspaperman said today.
Carroll Binder, editorial editor
Of the Minneapolis Tribune,
made the statement at session
of the American Association for
the United Nations, meeting at
the ShorehaIn Hotel.
He listed three types Of oppo-
sition in the United States to the
-dyed-in-the-wool isolation
lists, those who think in 18th and
18th century terms, and those
who discourage participation in
any activity which might threat
en- Americas Constitution.
Bricker Resolution Cited.
Mr.. Binder said the latter
group was the most coherent
and formidable. He cited reso-
luton by Senator Bricker, Re-
publican. Of Ohio. proposing q
constitutional amendment for
bidding any treaty or agreement
made by the President from hav-
ing the force of law without
congressional action.
He said the State Department
fears the treaty limiting pro-
posal would overburden Congress
and seriously hamper the de-
partment's relations with other
nations. Among those supporting
Senator Bricker's view. he said,
are the American Bar Associa-
ton. the Chicago Tribune, the
Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton and the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars.
Meanwhile, Secretary Of State
Dulles last night said the u. N.
was moving toward world secur-
ity through the device Of regional
security pacts which circumvent
RuSsia's stalling tactics.
Mr.. Dulles declared:
I'VE may be going about It
through the back door, but as
long as we come out at the right
place that is the important
thing,
Conference Ends Tomorrow.
The Secretary Of State adj
dressed the opening session Of
the conference which will con-
tinue through tomorrow.
Other speakers at today's ses-
sionS include John D. Kicker
son, Assistant Secretary of State
for United Nations Affairs, and
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In explaining the path Of the
UN because Of RusSia's use
Of the veto in the Security
Council, Mr.. Dulles said:
II think the feeling has grown
that the security may have to
be achieved primarily through
regional organizations which are
authorized by the UN charter.
but which to some extent func-
ton outside of the scope of the
UN's direct authority. and so
we have had a series of regional
organizations develop.
NATOs Scope Extended.
'tThere was the Rio Pact for
the Americas. and the North
Atlantic Pact the scope Of which
has been extended so that 1t now
includes Greece and Turkey. !.
I'm a sense you may say that
involves a departure from the
principles and the hopes that
are embodied In the UN chap
ter. But ] have a feeling that
after you get all these regional
organizations made--and they
are all Of them interlocking-
you finally put them all together
and you may end up with just
about what is contemplated by
the UN charter. -.
IT do believe that there is in
creasing recognition today of
the principle upon which the
UN was founded: namely. that
security is a matter of inter-
dependence"

Editors Panel Split
On Whether u. 5. Has
One Party Press
'By The Associuted Press

~ tuS AsSoetuteo ptetS
NEW YORK, March IA
panel of four editors last night
debated the question of whether
America has a "one-party press"
One editor answered the ques-
tien with a direct yes: another
answered it with a direct no;
and the two others answered it
with both a yes and q no, with
qualifications.
The discussion took place at
a forum dinner of the New
School Associates. Presiding as
forum chairman was Mrs. Ogden
Reid, president Of the New York
Herald Tribune.
Those participating in the dis
cussion were:
William II. Stringer, manag-
ing editor of the Christian
Science Monitor; John B. Cakes,
a member of the editorial board
of the New York Times: Michael
Straight, editor of the New Re-
public Magazine; and Sanford
Griffith, Of the Newhouse news
paper chain and vice president Of
the Overseas Press Club.
Mr.. Cakes denied the existence
Of a one-party press in America.
Mr.. Straight took the opposing
view while Mr.. Stringer and Mr..
Griffith qualified their yes and
no answers.
Mr. Cakes admitted that the
majority of newspapers favored
Dwight D Eisenhower in the
presidential campaign last fall.
but said it was "a ridiculous
inference that sinister forces
whipped all the newspapers into
the Republican Party line"
1T is a distortion of plain
fact" he said, Ito say that the
American press is a. one-party
press in any meaningful sense
of the word"
Mr. Cakes predicted that in
1856. mo matter how successful
the Eisenhower administration
may be-" there would be small
Ter number of newspapers lean
ing toward the Republicans be-
cause editors are inherently
critical, as they should be. of the
party that happens to be in
power"
Editor Straight said:
There is a one-party press in
this country and most people in
the country are without adequate
impartial newspaper informa-
! ton"
In 80 per cent Of the small
towns of the nation, Mr.. Straight
said, there is only one paper and
it usually reflects the Republic
can concept of government.
Mr.. Straight added:
Newspapers are especially
falling down in reporting polit-
ical news effectively. Unless
they realize their responsibility,
they risk being regulated by the
government"
Mr.. Griffith commended there
is a one-party press In the sense
that most newspapers are Re-
publication editorially, but adj
ded:
Publishers are not identifiable
as party men primarily.
They happen to be mainly in
the right Republican wing, be-
cause of their large property in
terests. but there Is no close
party allegiance as there is in
Europe among publishers and
editors"
Mr.. Stringer asserted that
most newspapers editorially sup
ported the candidacy of Gen.
Eisenhower in his successful bid
for the presidency, but said they
did so on "the basis of sincere
conviction"
He also contended that it had
"little effect on the outcome of
the election" and cited the un-
successful opposition of ma
jority of the press to former
Presidents Franklin D. Roose-
welt and Harry S. Truman.
Most newspapers reach their
conclusions on the basis of sim
cere convictions" he said.
