HOLLYWOOD Up - Judy Gar
lands comeback was complete to-
day as a star-packed first night
audience and critics hailed her
new movie.
The little girl with the big voice,
considered washed up in pictures
four years ago, scored a personal
triumph at the world premiere of
"a Star Is Born" last night. Her
arrival was given a hysterical re-
ception by fans at the Hollywood
Pantages theater and most of the
first nighters agreed she is a Shoo-
in for an Oscar next March.
Arriving with husband Sid Luft,
who produced the picture, Judy
looked radiant in a black velvet
gown with jeweled collar and cap.
She greeted friends, posed for
photos and admitted she was "hap-
py but nervous" She added: "I'll
be glad when it's all over with"
She was a far cry from the
Judy whose tantrums led to an
end Of her long MGM contract.
She started the comeback trail
with her hit at New York's vaude-
vile shrine, the Palace. Warner
Bros. agreed to- star her in a re.
make of the 1897 classic, "A Star
Is Born" The film had a stormy
history and the bill mounted to a
whopping six million. Critics
agreed it was worth it.

The chief Russian delegate was
scheduled to take the assembly

review of Soviet policy as his con-

Vishinsky's speech, on which he
had been working in seclusion all

One Latin American delegate
said he had reliable word that the
usually fiery Soviet spokesman
would couch his remarks in con-
ciliatory vein in an effort to show
Russia is treating the atomic ques-
ton with an open mind.
Most members felt, however,
that Vishinsky would reiterate his
governments refusal to 60 along
with the Eisenhower Dulles atomic
plan unless it tied in a declaration

This stand was made clear in the
recent publication of previously Sc

Russia exchanged on President Eli

U.N. last December for a peaceful
atomic pool. Secretary of State

Neblett also told of a plan to ex-

Neblett said that people in the

Neblett added that certain Mia

eff the treaty concerns a sub

would not prevent the making
of such a treaty even though all
lawyers recognize that the sub
ject is one reserved to the
States by the Tenth Amendment.
However. since valid State leg
islation would be needed to make
the treaty effective as internal
law the treaty would have to
be negotiated with a provision
that it would become effective
only through State legislation.
Under no circumstances, how
ever. would any State have a
veto power over such a divorce
treaty unless the President and
the Senate made the treaty in
violation of the Constitution as

Nevertheless, opponents Of
S. j. Res. contend that the

able to deprive States of the
powers reserved to them by the
Constitution. Any other rule,
they say, would make the United

that the So-called which clause
