Salem, Oregorf, Tuesday, February 12, 1'957 THE CAPITATJ JOURNAL ' Sectf dH I Fag 3 FuIbrightEyes Shift to Ike of Power to War Sen. O'Mahoney Takes Similar Tack on Resolution By FRED S. HOFFMAN WASHINGTON Ifl - Sen. Ful bright (D-Ark.) said Monday adop tion ot the Eisenhower Middle East resolution would mean "blan ket transfer" to the President of congressional powers to declare war. Sen. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), tak ing a similar tack, said the reso lution, as presented, "breaks down the system of checks and balances which the framers of the Consti tution believed to be the bulwark of government by the people." The two senators expressed their objections as the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees resumed hear ings on the administration's re quest for special military-economic powers to block Communist expan sion in the strategic Middle East. Sen. Knowland of California, the Senate Republican leader, said he expects the committees to begin drafting the final form of the res ''Jtion today. He said he thinks Senate debate may begin by Fri day, with passage likely next week. The House has approved the resolution 355-61. Fulbright leveled most of his criticism at Eisenhower's request for advance authority to use American troops to help any Mid dle East nation which asks such aid in repelling any open Commu nist aggression. Under the resolution, Fulbright laid, the President "need not con sult, much less be accountable to any other constitutional organ of government." I He said he "will not lend my: vote to further the erosion of the; power of this Senate." i He said he is willing to vote for , "an advisory resolution" with- out force of law "expressing the Senate's support of the PresK dent's policy of opposing the ex-, pansion of Communist influence In the Middle East." O'Mahoney urged the commit tees to write into the resolution language that would "require the redemption of the President's pledge of continued contact with the Congress" on Middle East measures. "Unless Congress does make the President's pledge a part of this resolution," he said, "it will have surrendered its own power, and it would have made another obei sance.lo executive authority . . . " He called also for a specific statement in the resolution that Congress "recognizes no overrid ing authority of the United Ra tions Security Council with re spect to any constitutional exer cise of the (war) power granted to the Congress by the Constitu tion." He suggested further that the President be barred from order ing any U. S. forces into action in the Middle East "until a report of the reasons has been made to the Congress, or, if the Presi dent deems it necessary to pro vide secrecy," to appropriate com mittees on Capitol Hill. Both senators were critical of Eisenhower's request for authori ty to spend 200 million dollars in available foreign aid funds in the Middle East.
