Millionaire Slain In New Strong Pledge By U S Sought
A group of senators prepared to guard against weakening the Atlantic defense treaty in senate debate.

Senators Vandenberg and Donnell voiced opposing views on advance commitment, while the committee language cited by Secretary of State Acheson remains partly secret. The pact involves the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
