President May Be Empowered To Use Force At Wil
Two Republican senators predicted Congress will authorize the President to exercise peace keeping police powers at his discretion. They cited a Foreign Relations Committee report on ratification of the United Nations Charter. Vandenberg and Millikin backed the view that the President could direct the U S delegate on policing actions, with Congress retaining war-declaration power.
