Candidates Favor Strong World Union Two Democratic candidates and one Republican candidate for the | U. S. senate last night pledged themselves to support a strong world organization and blasted pre-war isolationist spirit preva lent in both parties. Speaking in McArthur court un der the auspices of the Lane county league of women voters, the three candidates discussed “Congress and foreign relations.’’ and at the close of their speeches answered questions submitted by the audi ence. Upholding President Roosevelt as the “man of destiny’’ for 1944, Willis Mahoney, Democrat oppos ing Guy Cordon, gave his support to a change to majority ratifica tion of treaties by the senate and the house of representatives. He; favored the plan of maintaining world peace by regional forces con trolled by the United Nations. Such a plan, he said, could mean large standing and possibly opposing armies for the powers upholding the peace in the various sections of the world unless the United Na tions controlled the distribution of forces. Wayne Morse, Republican nom inee for the six-year term, called for a non-partisan peace made as statesmen rather than according to party affiliations. He cited the need of complete cooperation be tween the white house and the senate. Criticizing those Americans who shipped war materials to belliger ents during the present conflict, he said a repetition of "that great offense” should be guarded against. Morse did not favor changing the two-thirds rule on treaties in the senate, stating that such a move would "establish executive tyranny in the government” if the execu tive was in control of the ma jority. “Limitless, unconditional sov ereignty is finished,” said Edgar Smith, Morse’s opponent. This has been proved twice in this genera tion. He favored the regional basis for preserving peace. Military con scription after the war also re ceived his support. Mrs. Eric Peterson introduced Dr. Edna Landros, head of the classics department, who presided at the meeting. The program at the Igloo begins at 8 p.m., and all University people are asked to be in their reserve seats at that time. , Following the Bricker speech, all campus girls’ living organiza tions are holding open house for visiting men. According to an an nouncement by Mrs. Alice B. Mar duff, assistant dean of women, 1 o the Heads of Houses meeting, the time is 9:30 to 10:30. Barbara Pearson and Bob Smith, co-chairmen of the affair, expe.t at least 500 students to congre gate at the Southern Pacific depot, north end of Willamette street, at 6:30 tonight.
