TreatY-Making
Curbs Voted by
Senate Group
Would CurtuiI Power
Held by President
And Upper House
By J. A. O'Leoy

The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee today approved, 8 to 4,
the Bricker resolution to curtail
drastically the treaty-making
power of the President and the
Senate by constitutional amend
ment.
Its main provisions are:
/. No treaty could have the
effect of internal law in the
United States unless after SEN
ate ratification, both Houses of
Congress pass a bill which
would be valid in the absence
of a treaty.
2. Congress would be empow-
cred to pass a law regulating
the extent to which the Presi-
dent could enter into executive
agreements with other nations.
At present, executive agreements
do not go to the Senate for
ratification.
3. The resolution also declares
that no treaty which conflicts
with the Constitution shall have
any force or effect.
Follows Original Resolution.
Although the committee fol-
lowed a draft recommended by
the American Bar Association,
it accomplishes the same objec-
tives sought in the original reso-
luton introduced by Senator
Bricker, Republican, of Ohio and
SO other Senators.
The administration opposed
the resolution in the hearings
through Secretary of State
Dulles and Attorney General
Brownell, and is expected to
fight it on the floor.
Much of the momentum be-
hind the constitutional amend
ment came from groups who op-
pose various covenants drafted
by the United Nations to govern
human rights, international la
Dor standards and political
rights of women. These groups
feared that the Senate might be
asked to ratify these covenants
as treaties and thereby establish
domestic laws which Congress
could not pass as legislation.
Dulles Voices Protest.
Secretary Dulles assured the
committee this administration
has no intention of seeking rati-
fication of these various u. N.
covenants. He urged Congress
not to curb the treaty-making
power because it would hamper
the President in directing for
eign policy in these troubled
times.
In view Of the urgent bills
awaiting Senate action during
the next two months, it is doubt
full that the Bricker resolution
can be debated this year, unless
Congress holds a fall session. It
would remain on the Senate
calendar, however, for the next
session.
The committee gave three
absent members until noon
Saturday to cast their votes.
They are Senators McCarran of
Nevada and Hennings of Mis-
souri,, Democrats, and Dirksen,
Republican, of Illinois.

Biggest Atom Blast Ever Set off
In y. S. Lights Skies Of Nevada;
F|ames Lasts for Two Minutes
FirebuII BoiIs Over
Desert for More
Than 80 Seconds
BY the Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, New, June A.
The biggest atom bomb ever ex-
ploded in the United States
famed for more than two min
uteS in the pre-dawn sky today
over Nevada proving ground.
The flreball boiled for more
than 80 seconds, indicating an
intensity twice that of any previ-
GUS bomb or device detonated
in the desert.
The 20-kiloton Hiroshima
bomb had a 10-second fireball.
Dropped From B-36.
Dropped from an extremely
high-f1ying B-36, today's A-bomb
flashed across the entire horizon
and bathed the desert in a
ghostly white light for at least
five seconds. Then it formed into
a brilliant golden fireball.
The power of this amazing
weapon probably was not less
than SO kilotonS. The Atomic
Energy Commission has previ-
ously detonated three devices at
Yucca Flat which have had an
intensity greater than the So
called nominal or Hiroshima
bomb.
A kiloton is the Acc scientists
term for the equivalent OF 1000
tons of TINT. The nominal or
Hiroshima bomb contained the
equivalent of 10000 tons GO
kilotonS) of TINT.
Final Blast in Series.
Today's blast, 11th and final
of the spring series, probably
compared favorably with. some
of the huge explosions reported
at the Pacific proving grounds at
Eniwetok.
The explosion went off exact
ly at AIS am. (7:15 am. EDIT.
The flash was seen in San Fran
cisco, 400 miles away, and in
Los Angeles. $50 miles distant.
Reports in Los Angeles to
police and sheriff'S officers
showed that hundreds of resi-
dents felt a window rafting
shock about 20 minutes after
the blast.
Associated Press corresponds
ents in Northern California said
window-rattling rumbles were
felt at Marysyille, Yuba City
and Paso Robles 26 to 80 minutes
after the detonation.
Not Felt In Las Vegas.
Strangely, however, the shock
which was reported very strong
at the Acc control point, was
not felt in Las Vegas or by OBJ
servers on Mt. Charleston, IS
miles from the test site.
The fire in the cloud was vis-
ible to mountain observers for
two minutes and 20 seconds be-
fore it faded. Veteran atomic
agreed that this far
outshone any of the 80 previous
blasts in Nevada.
Fires were observed burning
on Yucca Flat some 10 minutes
later when observers started re-
turning to Las Vegas. The fires
probably were in yucca trees and
perhaps some tall cedars and
pines left over from previous
tests this spring. No structures
were known to have been in
volved today.
The burst appeared to be at
a height of more than $500 feet.
The device was dropped from
a bomber coming from Kirkland

optimism. Confidence seemed to
be based in part on conviction
that the Chinese Communists ac-
tually want a truce.
Official secrecy Shrouded the
negotiations. The White House
refused comment.
COunter-PrOpOSal Made.
The Communists submitted
their counter-proposal to the
U. N. terms at Panmunjom last
night. A report on the Panmun-
jom session arrived in Washing
ton this morning.
The truce negotiations at Pam
munjom were recessed until Sat-
urday at allied request, presum-
ably to give time for considera-
tion of the Communist counter
proposal here and consultation
among the United Nations allies.
If truce is achieved, other big
problems will face the admin
stration. The most controversial
involves what to do about Com
munist China. Some of this
country'S allies contend that set
tlement of the Korean war
should lead to lifting restrictions
on Western trade with Red
China and admission of the
Peiping regime into the United
Nations.
Policy Decision Shaped.
1t is understood that a firm
American administration policy
on such questions is in the max
ing and that an official an
nouncement on it may be
forthcoming shortly.
President Eisenhower told his
news conference last week that
under present conditions, he Gid
not believe the Chinese Com
munists should be admitted to
the U. N.
Congressional leaders reported
this week the President had
agreed that the United States
would actively oppose such a
move in the U. N. Presumably
the expected announcement
would spell out this policy.

|Grunewa|d Gets
$1,000 Finch
Escapes Jail
Term Is Suspended;
Judge Hits Former
CounseI's Bad Advice

Henry w. (the Dutchman)
Grunewald, Washington contact
man, today received a suspended
90-day jail sentence and was
fined 81 900 for contempt Of Con-
greSS.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff, In
pronouncing sentence in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, placed Grune-
wald on probation for one year
The judge cited as mitigating
circumstances" the 'fantaStically
bad" advice given Grunewald by
his former attorney, William
Power Maloney of New York.
In bliStering denunciation of
Mr.. Maloney's tactics before the
House Ways and Means subcom-
mittee delving into Grunewald' S
connection with nigh Internal
Revenue Bureau officials, which
called Grunewald as a witness in
1851, Judge Holtzoff declared: i:
Were it not for the fact that
it isn't customary to prosecute
defense counsel in such matters
'he could have been indicted for
aiding and abetting contempt" J."
No Justification for Advice.
The jurist was alluding to Mr..
Maloney's action in repeatedly
directing Grunewald not to an
swer questions posed by the sub
committee even to the extent of
refusal to divulge his name.
There is no doubt that this
was sheer defiance. of the COM
mittee," the judge stated. ION
the other hand" he said, "the
witness was accompanied by a
supposedly competent counsel.
He was confronted by a situation
which placed him between Scylla
and Charybdis."
The juriSt continued: "He re-
ceived very bad advice-so bad
as to be fantastic. There was no
justification to advise that he
refuse to answer.
THE fact that a defendant
is advised by counsel to commit
criminal act is no defense.
But in determining sentence it
may be mitigating. The average
client feels he has lawyer who
knows what he is doing.
"The court will consider this
mitigating circumstance"
Grunewald Stands Quietly.
AS the jurist spoke, Grune-
wald stood, hands folded in front
of him at the side of hig present
attorney. William II. Collins.
The defendant was to have
been sentenced last week but the
action was deferred pending an
examination by a court-ap-
pointed physician to determine
whether a Jail term would en-
danger Grunewald's health or
life. Grunewald had been re-
ported suffering from heart and
respiratory ailments.
While no announcement was
made today as to the physicians
findings. the fact that a Jail
term, even though suspended,
was pronounced. indicated that
the report did not see particular
danger in Incarceration.
Drawn Into Tax Probe.
Grunewald had been drawn
into the probe of income tax
scandals through testimony that
he had inquired about the in
come tax case of Abraham
Tietelbaum. Mr.. Tietelbaum,
former lawyer for Capone, had
charged he was the object Of a
$780, 900 shakedown attempt. A
grand jury, investigating the
charge, failed to return any in
dictmentS.
Last April Judge Holtzof had
suggested that Grunewald re-
appear before the subcommit-
tee. At the time the Judge said
he would consider Grunewald's
demeanor before the group in
fixing sentence. Last week the
subcommittee reported tn a t
Grunewald was evasive and at
times seemingly untruthful.
