pact 18shr of the required two-
thirds majority , 67 senators, if all
100 are present.
The poll shows 24 senators lined up
firmly against the treaty, with

crats who, as chairmen of comit-
tees and key subcommittees, exer-

Va.), and Herman Talmadge (D-
Ga.).
SENATE OBSERVERS .suggest
that most of theselamkrmy

not willing to deliver their votes to
