Fails by One
No More Action
Seen This Year
WASHINGTON - (P) - The
Senate killed on a 60 to 31 vote
last night a proposal to amend the
Constitution to limit treaty pow-
ers.
This action apparently ended, at
least for this year, efforts to
amend the Constitution.
Coming after a Sehate battle
lasting since Jan. 20, the result
was considered a victory for Pres-
ident Eisenhower.
THE PROPOSAL before the
Senate, offered by Sen. Walter F.
George (D-Ga.) needed a two-
thirds majority,for passage. The
60 to 31 vote in favor of it meant
that it fell short of the required
margin by the slimmest of mar-
gins
Constitutional amendments
can be adopted only by two-
thirds vote of both houses and
ratificiation by three-fourths of
the states. The House has not
acted.
With the count standing at 60-
30, which would have given the
Senate's approval to the proposal,
Sen. Harley M. Kilgore (D-W.Va.Y
arrived dramatically late to cast
} the deciding ballot against it.
In a last minute development,
Sen. William Knowland of Cali-
fornia, the Republican-floor lead-
er, had announced that he would
vote for ,the George amendment,
but ths was not enough to swing
the tide for it.
THE GEORGE proposal- now
-d~ead along with all the others-.!
- would have nullified provisions of
treaties and other international
agreementsnwhich conflict with
the Constitution.
It also would have provided
that international agreements
other than treaties could be-
come effective as internal law
only by act of Congress.
Previously the Senate had vot-
ed 61-30 to substitute George's
proposal for another,,.sponsored by
Knowland and other Republican
leaders, which had White House
support.
Overriding their own leaders, 30
Republicans joined with 31 Dem-
ocrats to sidetrack the White
House-approved m e a su r e and
make George's version the pending
issue before the Senate.

Two Middle Eastern govern-
ments were wavering on brand-

Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and
two separate revolutionary forces
in Syria -tried to assure themselves
of continued control in their re-
spective counrties.
Ousted in the revolts were two
military dictators-Gen. Mohamed
Naguib of Egypt, and President
Adib Shishekly of Syria.

PROF. Marbury N. Efimenco of
the political science department
said the revolt in Egypt could have
one of two possible causes. "It

gle between Naguib and Nasser for
leadership within the Revolution-
ary Council.
"It is doubtful if agreement
on the Suez Canal Zone, long a
controversial issue between Bri-
tain and Egypt, will be reached
under Nasser's rule as soon as it
would under the more conserva-
tive Naguib," he said.
Whether Egypt can or will re-
store constitutional government
and continue reforms under the
new rule is also a crucial issue, ac-
cording to Prof. Efimenco. Naguib,
he explained, had set up a military
dictatorship for only a three-year
period. "At the end of this three
years, in 194&6, the present method
of government must be re-assessed
to determine whether civil govern-
ment will be restored."
* *' *
IN SYRIA, President Shishekly
came into power through a coup
d'etat in 1949 and assumed com-
plete authority by 1951. After 1953
Shishelty became President and
declared he would act constitu-
tionally. "In fact, however, he kept
all his former power and remained
a military dictator, unable or un-
willing to return to civil govern-
ment, Prof. Efimenco noted.
"At present there seem to be
two separate revolts in Syria-
one in Damascus, the other in
Aleppo," he explained. The Ale-
ppo revolvt is led by the very
powerful semi-feudal Druz fam-
ily from Southern Syria and
many of Shishekly's personal
political enemies who had been
exiled to Bierut. The Damascus
revolt is led by Army dissidents.
"The old feudal clique favors
civilian government and would
probably restore to power the elder
politicians who ruled Syria be-
tween 1946 and 1949. If this feu-
dal clique emerges as the victor of
the two Revolutionary factions,"
he explained, "the whole trend of
reform may have failed in Syria."

Questioned
McCarthy Denies
Stevens' Charge
WASHINGTON - () - Senate
Republicans, meeting amid a
storm over Sen. Joseph McCar-
thy's methods, ordered a checkup
yesterday to see whether the rules
for Senate investigations should
be changed.
McCarthy, declaring he would
press on with his probes, said
"Witnesses in the future will have
the same consideration as in the
past."
S * *
HE SAID he would go right on
exposing "dishonesty, corruption
and Communism."
At another point in a news
conferenc, he said:
"I don't subscribe to the idea
that if your own party is being
embarassed-lay off."
It was a charge by Secretary of
the Army Stevens that McCarthy
has abused and brow-beaten a
general which set off the newest
controversy over McCarthy's meth-
ods.
.Stevens at first had seemed
headed for a televised showdown
with McCarthy, who denied any
abuse. This was called off after
Stevens, McCarthy and other
members of McCarthy's Investi-
gating subcommittee reached an
accord, which was generally re-
garded as a surrender by Stevens.
Aroused by this interpretation.
Stevens Thursday issued a
statement that he would "never
accede" to humiliation of Ar-
my men. President Eisenhower
backed Stevens "100 per cent."
It was the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, headed by Sen.
Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.), which
ordered. a survey of the rules with
a view to a possible overhauling..
This development clearly was a
direct outgrowth of the McCarthy-
Stevens feud.

RUSHEES CONSIDERED:
Effects Of Fall Rushing Discussed
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond in a series of articles dealing
with the problems. of fall versus
spring sorority rushing.)
By GENE HARTWIG
Arguments against fall sorority
rushing weigh most heavily on the
effect of the fall session on the
rushee herself.
Opposition to the first semester
rush period is by no means limit-
ed to independents but finds some
of its strongest support among sor-
ority women who have seen both
spring and fall rushing programs
in operation.
* * *
Others argue that fall rushing'
allows too many women to go into
a sorority without having a chance
to adequately evaluate dormitory
living.
Proponents of the fall rushing
plan point out that it "takes the
emphasis off the idea of making a
sorority" which may build up dur-
ing a semester, based on impres-
sions the freshman may receive of
various campus houses.
* ' * *
IT IS ALSO argued that through
first semester pledging the soror-
ity can give the freshman added
men, whether they rushed and
pledged or not, was the same-2.2,
the Panhellenic fall i',shing eval-
uation report shows that the final
average for women who pledged
(this includes upperclassmen as
well as freshmen) stood at 2.24 as
against 2.37 for those who 'did not
rush and 2.39 for those who rushed
but did not pledge.
Opponents of fall rushing are
quick to point out" that this 2.24
average of first semester pledges
is well below the 2.64 all-sorority
average.-
On the other side those favor-
neighboring communities have
been hard hit by severe unemploy-
ment, Ann Arbor is "holding its
own," according to Rex Notting-
ham of the Ann Arbor branch of
the Michigan Security Commis-
sion.
"We're a little higher than last
year at this time but there's been
a back-to-work trend and we are
not too bad off," Nottingham
pointed out. There are, in Ann
Arbor, roughly 1500 people now
