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."

Savings Seen on
Some Vet Policies
Savings of up to two-thirds
in the cost of the GI insur
ance are being offered by mail
to all veterans whose insur
ance policy number is pre
ceded by the letters RS, S. 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.

Back Stairs: Will Churchill Visit Ike?
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.
