Porter Leading Movement To Revise United Nations Charter Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington Twenty-five members of Congress led by Rep. Charles O. Porter (D- Ore.) and Sen. Joseph Clark (D-Pa.) have 1 a u n c hed a movement to strengthen the aut hority of the United Na tions by re vising its char A-Kobt. smith They ' have introduced resolutions calling on President Eisenhower to "initiate high level studies in the executive branch of the government to determine what changes should be made" in the UN Charter and other international charters to which the U.S. is a party ,'to promote a just and lasting peace through the develop ment of enforraable world law." The point of tlfe congres sional resolutions is to get the United States behind a move within the UN to alter the charter before a UN com mittee on this subject meets this summer prior to the open ing of the General Assembly in September. Grten Joins Porter Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger are among the 14 senators back ing the move, and Rep. Edith Green has joined Porter and nine others in the House. Inspiration for the resolu tion, Porter explained, came from his attending a World Parliament Association con ference in Paris last fall, and from the book, "World Peace Through World Law" by Grenville Clark and Louis Sohn. Proposals recently advanced by Vice President Richard Nixon and Sens. Morse and Hubert Humphrey for giving the International Court of Justice (or World Court) more authority "would be gigantic steps forward away from war and toward peace," Porter de clared. ' Nixon two weeks ago urged that the Court be made the arbiter of disputes arising be j tween East and West. Morse and Humphrey have ured that the Court be given the authority to determine wheth er, it has jurisdicition over a given dispute, rather than per mit the parties involved to claim it is a "domestic mat ter" over which the Court has no jurisdiction. Not Supporting Idea Nixon conceded that the administration is not yet sup porting his idea, and Porter said his correspondence with the State Department reveals that the Eisenhower admin istration does not now favor any revisions in the UN Char ter. The move in Congress is an effort to get the adminis tration to alter its position. . "In my opinion the very act of seeking to strengthen the UN would lessen tensions among nations today and re duce the likelihood of a war by design or a war triggered by .an accidental or unauthor ized act," Porter said. . While the resolution . does not set forth any proposed changes in the UN Charter, Porter said some provisions he favors in addition to strength ening ihe Court would beef up the "executive branch" of the world agency. He mention ed establishing a UN police force, He said: Fa or Hoped "As presently conceived, it would be only for observation and patrol but if, as has been urged from many quarters, such an organization were used to supervise all armed forces in Berlin, its functions might well, in time, grow into something more formidable and effective." Sen. Clark said he. was hopeful that the new leader ship in the State Department will look with favor on this move." In the proposed resolution Porter and Clark drafted, they said "the basic purpose of the foreign policy of the United States is to achieve a just and lasting peace" and "there can be nq such peace without the development of enforceable world law." ' "Peace does not rest on law today but on the delicate bal ance of terror of armed force," they added. "The UN and other international organ izations constitute an import ant influence for peace and need . to be strengthened to achieve the rule of law in in ternational relations."

T. Brannock, contact representa tive, Veterans Domiciliary, Camp White, said today. All of the veterans, who generally fall in the Korean and post-Korean conflict pe riod, now fchave . a chance to exchange their present 5-year term policies for 5-year term policies at a lower premium cost, due to the improved mor tality tables resulting from modern medical advances. The new policy, however, must eventually be converted to a permanent plan of insur ance since it cannot be renew ed by the insured past age 50. Brannock pointed out that if a veteran does not get a letter with the enclosed ap plication form, it will mean he does not have RS type insurance and is not eligible for this exchange.

By MERRIAM SMITH UPI While House Reporter Washington-UPD-Back stairs at the White House: It still remains somewhat touch-and-go whether Sir Win ston Churchill will go through with his plans and fly here next Monday for a three-day visit with President Eisenhow er. The former British Prime Minister and World War II associate of the President is.! 84 years old and traces of winter illnesses continue to nag him. Eisenhower is hopeful that Churchill can make the trip and plans are going forward for entertaining him. To Invito Friends The President's personal staff has been going over lists of Churchill's friends in this country, and particularly, some of the men with whom he was closely united in the conduct of World War II. They will be invited to a series of evening affairs at the White House Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday-probably one big dinner and two smaller ones. Sir Winston on Thursday would move from the White House to the British Embassy where a big dinner is being planned. Truman Not Invited If the British visitor has any desire to see another old friend, former President Har ry S. Truman, it would seem more likely that a reunion would take place at the em bassy rather than at the White House. ; A check at the White House earlier this week produced no evidence that Eisenhower was planning to include Truman among those being invited to the executive mansion. Of necessity, the White House invitations must be rel atively last-minute documents because of the ever-present possibility that Sir Winston might cancel or postpone the trip. - It therefore is possible that the former President, sched uled to be here most of next week to " celebrate his 75th birthday, might get a White House invitation. But those familiar with the still chilly relations between Eisenhower i and Truman doubt if one will ! be issued. There has been some ob viously unfounded speculation that Churchill with his love of the dramatic, might seize upon the opportunity of a Washington visit to bring Ei senhower and Truman togeth er. Possible, yes. Probably, no. In the first place, Churchill knows from his own exper ence just how mortal political enemies can be. There also is the blunt truth that an Eisenhower-Truman reconciliation after more than six years would overshadow Churchill's visit-and the former Prime Minister would not like that.
