Senator Harlan J. Bushfield said he would push to require the US delegate to the Security Council to act only when directed by Congress in each case. He argued the charter grants war making power beyond congressional authority and urged fixes before ratification. President Truman has nominated Edward R. Stettinius Jr. as US representative to the UN. The Foreign Relations Committee planned quick hearings as ratification by August seemed likely.
