George Says Treaty Plan Dead Without Senate Reversal
Senator George of Georgia warned that any constitutional amendment on treaty powers cannot pass while a provision favoured by the four top Republican leaders remains. He noted a 44-43 vote approval and said enough senators fear its effect on treaties since the Constitution’s approval. If maintained, it blocks momentum toward passage. A floor vote could alter the measure by a simple majority.

Army May Hit Trouble In Court Martial Move
Washington AP reports the Army plans to court martial Corporal Edward S. Dickenson on charges of aiding the enemy while a prisoner of war. The case raises the Korea war legality question as the fighting was not formally declared a war. The Marine Corps also anticipates disciplinary action for two officers connected to a possible germ warfare confession under duress. Dickenson, 23, from Cracker’s Neck Virginia, later married a neighbor before being arrested and charged with (1) disclosing to fellow prisoners and (2) passing information to Communist captors. A Marine court considers Col. Frank H Schwable for falsely admitting under pressure that he aided germ warfare, with Maj. Roy H. Bley as an involved party if court martial proceeds.
