Get Study On
Suez Canal

NEW YORK (JTA) - A study
which concludes that Egypt's bloc
kade of the Suez Canal runs coun-
ter to it's obligations arising from
international conventions an d
practices and the Egyptian-Israel
armistice agreement; as well as
it's obligations as member OF the
U.N., was presented by the Law
yers Committee on BlockadeS to
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
Jr., head of the U. S. delegation
and president of the Security
Council for June. The study was
initiated in 1851.
A number of distinguished in
ternational lawyers, jurists and
professors of law served on an adj
viSory panel for the study. In its
detailed analysis of the blockade,
the Lawyers Committee also
stated: 1.-THE failure of the U.N.
to accept and carry out the decl-
sions of the Security Council, can
only lead to a weakening of the
Organization as an instrument for
the preservation of peace; The
situation calls for action to re-
duce tension and to prevent a
threat to the peace from develop
ing; termination of the blockade
of the Suez Canal would conSti-
tute step toward peace, which
is vital for the welfare to the en-
tire region"

for such property and asserted
that the Jewish demand was

McCarran Would Jail
BaIky U. 5. Officials
BY the Associoted Press

The Senate would assert the
right to lock up summarily any
Government official who refuses
to surrender subpoenaed docu-
ments, if Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, has his
way.
Senator McCarran, former
chairman of the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee. offered
a resolution to this effect to the
Senate yesterday. He said it
would afford a basis of forcing
the issue" of Senate investigat-
ing groups right to demand pro-
duction of documents. Senator
McCarran clashed with the
White House when President
Truman refused to allow the
State Department and other
agencies to produce documents
his group demanded.
The resolution would allow
the Senate, through its sergeant
alarms, to demand surrender
of subpoenaed documents and
arrest a non-complying official
for detention until he produced
them.
A spokesman for the Senator
said he felt if this procedure
were followed. the executive de-
partment would move very fast.
to have the matter settled in the
courts. Senator McCarran him
self said he wanted court
adjudication of Senate powers
to seize documents.
In another proposed resolu-
ton, Senator McCarran asked
for a loyalty check on all en-
ployes of the Senate. its COM
mittees and individual sena-
torial Offices. The general secur-
ity check requirements do not
now apply to such personnel and
Senator McCarran said it was
"incontrovertible that certain
individuals who have been un-
able to qualify under the loyalty
tests for an executive depart
ment, have been and may now
be employed"
