Senate Delays Treaty Debate and Kanawha Route Costs
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee opened debate on the Japan treaty amid concerns a noisy minority could undermine major policy. Southern Democrats led by Senator Long objected to a clause giving Japan potential veto power over U.S. troop use and advocates cited unequal reciprocal protections. In a separate note, Kanawha County hearings favored the Two-Mile alternate road route to Charleston at an estimated cost of about 47 million dollars, with Grane y arguing it offers a better road-user balance despite park and industrial-site concerns.
