Senate Unit 70 Adopt
Revision Of Bricker
Plan, LANCER Predicts

Chairman LANCER Of the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee pre-
dicted yesterday his group will
report out in revised form the
controversial Bricker constitu-
tional amendment, placing new
curbs on the treaty-making
power.
Senator LANCER said the sub
committee in charge of the sub
jects will begin work this week
on recommendations for the full
committee. He indicated agree
ment would be reached on a
new draft, drawn from pending
alternative plans.
Both resolutions have the
same general objectives. The
one introduced by Senator
Bricker, Republican, of Ohio is
co-sponsored by So other Sena-
tors. The other, introduced by
Senator Watkins, Republican, of
Utah follows the language Of an
American Bar Association COM
mittee.
Both would prevent a treaty
from having the effect of do
nestle law in the United States
unless followed up by an act of
Congress. Both also would au-
thorize Congress to prescribe the
conditions under which the Pres
ident could enter into executive
agreements with other nations.
The administration sent Sec
retary Of State Dulles and At
torney General Brownell to the
public hearings recently to op-
pose the resolutions on the
ground that they would hamper
the United States in the conduct
OF foreign affairs in these
troubled times.
Senate Majority Leader Taft,
a co-sponsor of the Bricker reso-
luton. said recently he still
favors a constitutional amend
ment. but will try to work out a
compromise in the hope of meet
ing administration opposition.

The Army has counter-at-
tackled on the overcoat front
with statement that it knows
full well what happened to $45
million worth of the coats order
ed in 1916.
The overcoat issue was raised
at a House Government Opera
tions Subcommittee hearing
Tuesday. Chairman Riehlman
said nobody knows now where
most of them are"
The them" in question were
100000 all-purpose coats the
Army ordered in 1916 in the
hope that they would serve
troops in the field as we'll as
those in garrison.
The Army information Office
countered this criticism yester-
day with statements from half
a dozen quartermaster officers
who served in Korea during the
first winter of the war. Their
statements added up to a warm
tribute to the coat as being the
saviour of thousands of men who
otherwise might have been

The Government has refused
to say why he is deemed secur-

Detained for two years, Mr.
Mezei was released last year on
$4,000 bond after a Federal
Judge ruled he had been held

Says Rare Gorb Kept GIs Snug

The Army conceded that the
overcoats. equipped with built-in
leggings, did not meet the orig
inal expectation for a truly all
purpose garment and that after
they were bought, it was decided
they should be modified for gar
rison and semi-dress wear.
An Army spokesman said more
modern winter clothing had been
provided for the troops in Korea
now and old all-purpose gar
ments were gradually withdrawn.
Those that were still service
able are being re-made for issue
to troops engaged in activities
somewhat less rigorous than
those required of combat forces.
It was disclosed at Tuesdays
hearing that some of the over
coats showed up in Korea. A
veteran to whom one of the coats
was issued complained it was too
heavy to walk in.
The Army announcement yes
terday did not specify just how
many of the coats were shipped
to Korea. Quartermaster Off

coats were remodeled at a cost
