C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 27. 1954 ~ Debate Slated To Open Today On Amendment By UNITED PRESS The Bricker treaty lim iting amendment appeared to be losing some steam to day as the Senate braced it self for what could be the most high-powered constitu tional battle in decades. Formal debate on the proposal that has sharply split Republican ranks was expected to begin before nightfall. There was still no sign of a compromise between President Elsenhower and the measure’s chief sponsor, Sen. John W. Bricker (R- Ohlo). On the eve of the “great de bate,” Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson (R-NJ) said he now has “grave doubts” about the amendment which would curb the president’s treaty making powers. He was one of eight members of the Senate Judiciary Committee who approved the amendment last year. Other supporters were reported backing away from the proposal although they declined to say so publicly in advance of the floor light. COMPROMISE SOUGHT Senate Republican leaders con tinued to search for an 11th hour compromise that would avert a party-splitting light. But Bricker said he would not compromise on they key clause of the amendment which would require Congress—and state legislatures in some cases—to pass special legislation before a treaty Jcould become law. .. This is the feature of the amende ment that Mr. Elsenhower bitterly opposes.
