Vandenberg Urges Immediate Disclosure on UN Conference
Sen. Vandenberg calls for a prompt public announcement of any advances by U.S. delegates at the San Francisco United Nations conference. The eight delegates work on policy questions as the State Department plans to delay until a full American program is ready. Vandenberg seeks disclosure of any revision to Dumbarton Oaks principles and wants a statement that the international organ will uphold justice and Atlantic Charter terms. The conference opens April 25 and Vandenberg hopes for morale-boosting support for small nations. Second trial of Dr. Leon R. Meadows on embezzlement and false pretenses is tentatively set for April 30 after a mistrial in the first trial.
