"This Charter or None," Truman Warns Senators In Personal Washington, July 2. (U.R), President Truman in an historic appearance today placed the United Nations charter before the senate and asked for its prompt ratification. He did so with a warning that the senate could not choose be tween the charter and something else, but "between this charter and no charter at all." First Since 1932 Mr. Truman, the first presi dent to appear before the senate since 1932, told his former col leagues ,that the people of the world looked to them "to take the lead in approving the char ter .. . and pointing the way for the rest of the world. "The choice before the senate is now clear," he said. "The choice is not between this charter and something else. It is be tween this charter and no charter at all. "Improvements will come In the future as the United Nations gain experience with the ma chinery and methods which they have set up. For this is not a static treaty. It can be improved and. as the years go by, it will be just as our constitution lias been improved. Points Peace Road "This charter points down the only road to enduring peace, There is no other. Let us not hes itate to loin hands with the Deace-loving peoples of the .earth and start down that road with firm resolve that we can and will reach our goal." Opening his personal campaign for approval of the charter, the president reviewed in simple terms the objectives of the char ter, asking the senate to consider not only its words but the spirit which gave it meaning. This is the way he listed me charter's objectives: 'It seeks to prevent future wars. 'It seeks to settle international disputes by peaceful means and in conformity with principles oi justice. 'It seeks to promote woria- wlde progress and better stand ards of living. "It seeks to achieve universal respect for, and observance of, E .

"It seeks to remove the eco nomic and social causes of inter national conflict ard unrest." Charter Birth Told Describing how the charter was produced by many hands and many influences, the presi dent said it evolved from "the reality of experience in a world where one generation has failed twice to keep the peace." The president reminded the senate that no international doc ument had ever been drawn in a greater glare of publicity. He said this resulted in the impres sion in some quarters that there were many points of disagree ment among the United Nations in drafting the document. "The fact is that there were comparatively few points upon which there was not accord from the very beginning," he said, adding that these disagreements related more to method than to principle. When Mr. Truman stood be fore the senate today there were many who recalled that another president once had stood there to plead a somewhat similar clause. It was 26 years ago, lacking eight days, that Woodrow Wilson be gan his ill-fated league of nations fight. The last previous appearance of a president before the senate was on May 31, 1B3Z, when Her bert C. Hoover addressed the chamber on domestic economic problems occasioned by the de pression.

Washington, July 2 U.R) The house rules committee today blocked house consideration of the pending' $771,000,000 war agency appropriation bill because of a dispute over funds for the fair employment practice com mittee. The committee, which has been consistently hostile to the FEPC, rejected a proposal by Chairman Adolph J. Sabath, D., 111., that the house be permitted to vote on a motion to send the bill to conference with the sen ate. The senate on Saturday amended the measure to provide $250,000 for the FEPC. Southern Democrats had blocked a move on Saturday night to send the bill to confer ence, and 'today's rules commit tee action followed. Negroes Attend A negro delegation was on hand earlier for hearings before the rules committee, but the ap propriations bill was not discuss ed in open session. Charles A. Collins, New York Negro representative of the Ho tel and Club Employes associa tion (AFL), attempted to ask when the appropriation measure would be considered, but com mittee attendants herded the delegation from the room. "You don t have to push, Loi- lins protested. "What is this, Ger many? I lost a brother in this war!" Democrats Refuse The rules committee, loaded with southern Democrats, has re fused consistently to send any kind of FEPC legislation to the floor. The most offered by the annroDriations committee was $123,000 to liquidate the agency after previously turning thumbs down on any new tuna. While FEPC funds are only a drop in the bucket of the $771,- 000.000 bill to operate war agen cies for the year beginning to day, other agencies tied up in the measure will not suffer from lack of funds.
