Senate May Not Act On World Court

Washington AP There is slim chance the Senate will act this session to strengthen U S support for the World Court. Vice President Nixon and President Eisenhower favor repeal of the U S veto over the court s jurisdiction but Democrats doubt they can muster a two thirds vote. The Connally reservation remains central with debate over waiving it for four sea treaties and a oil pollution pact. The short session likely prevents action on these measures and related pacts with Pakistan and France. Cited figures include Sen John F Kennedy, Sen Tom Connally, and Sen Russell B Long. World Court issue stirs strong political emotion across parties.
