"It is very encouraging if 1t is
bona fide and sincere" said Mr..
Lodge.
Lester B. Pearson Of Canada,
president of the General Assem-
bly,, said:
This is something we have
been hoping would happen. So
far as it goes it is encouraging. "
Good News, Says Zarubin.
Georgi N. Zarubin, Soviet Am
basSador to Washington and a
member of the Russian delega-
ton here, said, I'm my opinion,
it is very good news"

Text of Statement
Issued by Roberts

This is the tert of Mr.. Rob-
ertS' statement announcing his
resignation:
I have today telegraphed the
members of the Republican
National Committee my resig-
nation as chairman. ! have
also dispatched a, letter to
President. Eisenhower, advising
him Of my action.
I have resigned because a
carefully-contrived and thinly-
veiled plot, growing out of a
fierce factional fight in Kan
sas State politics. has de-
stroyed my usefulness as Ma
tional Chairman.
Two weeks ago, I went to
Topeka and appeared before
a committee of the Kansas
State Legislature. I laid every
fact before the committee
members. I answered every
question and I fully expected
vindication at their hands.
It is now plainly evident to
me that underestimated the
ramifications of this plot in
which I have been the victim.
I was astounded to learn that
the members Of the committee
could reach the conclusion
that I violated the spirit of
the Kansas law.
Persons who are just as in
nocent of wrongdoing or in
tent Of wrongdoing as I was
are daily making recommended
tions to Kansas State agencies
for the benefit of the citizens
of Kansas. I am sure that they,
like I, are within their rights
and are not violating the
spirit" Of the lobbying act.
Notwithstanding, my own
clean conscience + am prac-
tical enough to realize that my
usefulness as national chair
man is at an end, and that my
continuance would not serve
the best interests of the Pres
ident, the administration, or
the Republican Party.
My decision is my own per-
sonal one, and I have been in
fluenced by no one in reaching
it. I have been too long in pol
itics not to recognize the fact
that the guillotine often drops
on the necks of innocent per-
sons when willful men seek
nothing but their own ends.

Most Of the opposition during
three days of oratory centered
around the argument that he
had a hand in the Yalta, Tehe-
ran and Potsdam conferences of
World War II, which Republicans
generally condemned.
Roll Call Bipartisan.
His hackers replied that Mr..
Bohlen was only an interpreter
for former Presidents Roosevelt
and Truman at the conferences,
not a policy maker, and that as
a career diplomat for "a years,
he had learned to support the
policies Of the party in power.
The roll call was a victory for
the bipartisan approach to for
eign affairs, and is expected to
take much of the sting out of
the debate which preceded
action.
Thirty-four Republicans. 80
Democrats and the one indie
pendent (Senator Morse of Ore

nomination over. Only two DEM
ocrats OMcCarran of Nevada and
Johnson of Colorado) lined up

Eight of the abSentees were re-
ported for confirmation. Senator
