on the council's hit parade since

Most disgusted member of the
city's governing body was Alder

had been requested and the coun

APPoll Shows
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON. Oct 18-UP)
Fifty senators one more than - a
majority -find the Connally reso
lution on postwar foreign policy
substantially acceptable - to them
and would support it on a show
down vote, an, Associated Press
poll disclosed today.
With a large bloc of senators de
clining to commit themselves be
cause they want to write more
specific language into the proposal,
a canvass showed that only six
of fine 58 members willing to ex
press their views, are -unalterably
opposed to the Connally measure
in its present form.
These six include Senators
Wheeler (D-Mont), Smith (D-SC),
Keynolds (D-NC), Willis (R-Ind),
Johnson (R-Calif) and LaFouette
(Prog-Wis).
Approved by a subcommittee,
the resolution will be submitted to
the full foreign relations commit'
tee tomorrow in this form:'
"Resolved by the senate of the
United States:
"That the war against all our
enemies be waged until complete
victory is achieved;
"That the United States cooper
ate with its comrades-in-arms in
securing .a Just and honorable
peace;
"That the United States, acting
through its constitutional process
es, join with free and sovereign
nations in the establishment and
ynniTitonwnf nf international au
thority with power to prevent ag
gression and to preserve the
peace of the world.'
Almost every shade of viewpoint
was resresented among the 31
democrats and 19 republicans who
found ; themselves hv substantial
agreement on the proposal.
Their approval ranged from a
reluctant acceptance of the meas
ure by Senator Nye (R-ND) as
unnecessary but "harmless, to
its endorsement by Senator Tun
nel! (D-Del), a foreign relations
committee member, as a resolu
tion which "Says enough to mean
something, but is not so specific
in details as to run the chance of
dividing public opinion." ::i
The measure, represents a com
promise in viewpoint among sev
en subcommittee - members who
voted for it They are Chairman
Connally (D-Tex), and Senators
George (D-Ga), Barkley (D-Ky),
Thomas (D-Utah), Gillette CD
Iowa), Vandenberg (R-Mich) and
White (R-Me). La Follette was
recorded as opposing action at this
time on any post war policy res
olution. ; ,
