Russians Can Block
U. n. Charter Shifts,
Senate Study Says
BY the Associofed Press

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committees top staff expert said
today any revision of the United
Nations Charter faces the 'hard
fact" that Russia can block all
amendments, mo matter how
commendable."
Nevertheless, wrote Francis o.
Wilcox in a study made public
today, "the existence of the veto
does not mean that such a con-
ference would be a waste of
time" The question of charter
revision comes up automatically
next year.
THE only logical course of ac-
ton now," Mr.. Wilcox wrote, "is
to proceed, with a careful study
Of the entire problem and the
formulation of proposals which
we may find in our national in
terest, on the assumption that no
single nation will wilfully block
approval of any desirable amend
mentS.
Released by Wiley.
THAT assumption may prove
wrong. If it does, supporters of
the U. N. may well conclude that
their objective of developing an
organization that can better serve
the cause of world peace, can still
be attained, without invoking the
formal amendment process.
"Since its inception the char
ter has demonstrated a remark
able facility for adapting itself
to changing needs and circum-
stances"
The study was released by
Chairman Wiley of the commit
tee, which Mr.. Wilcox serves as
chief of staff.
The question of revision of the
charter automatically goes on
the agenda of the U. N. General
Assembly in 1855. The United
States has announced it will sup
port the calling of a review con-
ference.
However, any charter amend
mentS recommended by such a
conference would be subject to
veto by the five permanent
members of the Security Council,
including the United States and
Russia.
Mr.. Wilcox noted that the So
Wet Union has attacked the idea
Of a review conference, and he
continued:
This attitude is generally in
harmony with the Soviet desire
to do what they can to prevent
the U. N. from becoming a more
effective agency for world peace.
"A strong U. N. would obvi-
ously run counter to the grand
design of international COM
munism for eventual world
domination.
Other Obstacles Cited.
However, the study said, 'it
would be erroneous to assume
that the Russians and their
satellites are the only obstacles
in the way of charter revision"
THE small states, for example,
would bitterly resent any pro-
posal to change the system of
voting in the General Assembly
in such way as to radically
alter their position of equality
with the great powers" it
went on.
Likewise, Great Britain,
France and other countries with
colonial possessions no doubt
would oppose amendments con-
ferring upon the U. N. greater
authority with respect to nom
Self-governing territories.
And certainly our Govern
ment, among others, would vigor-
ously object to any charter
change which would empower the
U. N. to use our troops for en-
forcement action without our
consent"
Mr.. Wilson said stresses and
strains of the cold war have
resulted in many informal
notifications of the charter as
1t was adopted in 1945 and thus
have proved it is a flexible in
strument.

Two Fiers Die.
Escape In
Triple Crash

OTIS AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
R-Two Air Force filters were
killed and three others escaped
injury in the crash of three jet
airplanes after landing in foul
weather last night.
Air Force officials blamed the
crashes on flat tire and a tor
rental rainfall which shut out
visibility and made radio commu-
nication between the planes and
the control tower so erratic that
messages could not be understood.
The victims were identified as
1t. Russell H. Olson, "a, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin H. Olson of
St. Louis Park, Mimi, pilot, and
1t. John T. Steele, "a, radar OPP
orator.
Steele, father of a 2-weeks old
child, leaves his widow, Edith S.
Steele, of nearby Pocasset, and his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Steele, Batavia, NY.
Details Given
The mishaps were outlined by
Air Force officials early today as
follows:
The first of three F94C Starfire
jets were preparing to land when
the weather closed in. The pilots
forward visibility neared zero and,
to complicate matters, radio COM
munication with the airport control
tower became erratic.
The tower cleared that jet-pi-
loted by LIST. 1t. Frederick J.
Luddy, Is, of Altoona, Pa.-to land.
AS the plane touched ground it
blew a tire, forcing the plane to
grind to a halt in the center Of
the runway.
The tower, unable to hear Lud-
dy's message and unable to see the
disabled craft because of the dirty
weather, cleared the second plane
to land.
Visibility Poor
The pilot of that plane, hindered
by lack of visibility, brought the
craft down far short of the runway,
tearing a swath through small
trees and brush.
Both the pilot, End 1t. Anthony
Cunningham, 26, of Roanoke, Ala,
and his radar observer, End 1t.
Joseph Gallagher, "a, of Philadel-
phia Pa, walked out of their
wrecked plane uninjured.
The tower, unable to see the
plane on the runway and the
crashed jet, cleared the jet piloted
by Olson.
AS Olson's plane came in, its
landing lights on, Luddy attempted
to signal Olson with his flashlight.
However, he suddenly realized
neither Olson nor Steele could see
him, and dived off the runway to
save his life.

The play deals with the great OBJ

the symbol of her emergence from
