Truman Takes
first Step In Army
Navy Merger
WASHINGTON (/P)—One phase
cff army-navy merger became a
reality with the disclosure that
President Truman has put all
armed forces’ buying under a sin

Army officials immediately
hailed the move privately as “the
best practicable solution” short of
actual unification.
Bitterly opposed by the navy,
full-scale merger would require
Congressional action.
In that direction, the President
already has indicated he will re

Russia Demands
Dropping Of Veto
Question
(By MAX HARRELSON)
NEW YORK, (/P)—Soviet Rus
sia demanded formally today that
the*general committee of the Uni
ted Nations assembly strike the
veto question from the provision
agenda and bar it from discussions
at the present session.
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet
deputy foreign minister, declared
that any change in the veto provi
sions of the U. N. charter would
be "a heavy blow” to the new
world organization.
In a brief statement before the
14-nation committee, the Soviet
representative said:
"Soviet Russia will reserve its
right to express its opinion more
in detail at the right time. I will
now say only that these items
should be stricken from the agen
da.”
He referred to Australian and
Cuban proposals for a thorough
discussion of the veto issue, with
a view of restricting its use or
eliminating it entirely.
Vishinsky said that unanimity
. was “the basis of solidarity” in
the security council. He then said
that “in the spirit of solidarity”
Russia called on the committee to
join in eliminating the veto ques
tion from the discussions.
Sir Hartley Shawcross, British
attorney general, immediately
took the floor to oppose the Sov
iet demand.
