Soviet Repetition Tiring Delegates

as Mr. Gromyko this week conducts what amounts to a filbuster. They wonder, privately, if the San Francisco idea of the council in continuous session, and thus available to hear complaints on threats to security, is not weakened by the Russian tactics of repetition in debate. It all means that the security council framework is headed for a thorough examination by the general assembly, where the majority vote prevails without the big power veto held by the council. Australia and Cuba already have asked for specific review of the veto hold ' by Britain,* China, France, Russia and the United States. The allegations against Greece snd British troops, which both defendants heatedly deny and call “unbridled propaganda,’ now tighten the certainty that a much broader juspection of the status of the council will be undertaken,

TOUR PERHAPS. Seymour Woman Who Took NO ‘STUMPING’ Own Life 'Too Tired to Go On'

Truman Political Forays May Be Airborne.

By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. — A] stump tour by some other name | probably will be President Truman’ Ss contribution to the Democratic congressional campaign this fall. The phrase “stump tour” is abhorrent arfbund the White House these days. Presidential aides, when asked about Mr, Truman's campaign plans, stare at the ceiling and say| that "nothing definite can be an-| nounced--now. o This was the campaign-yeat pattern of the late President Roosevelt. He was always loathe in an eleclion year to admit in advance that he had any political plans. will Hold Political Fire National campaigns usually don’t get going until October, and Mr. | Truman's idea seems to be to hold| his political fire until the later| rounds. While no official schedule has been made, politicians around the President expect him to. make at least three major campaign appearances, probably beginning in October with a farm speech in his home state of Missouri. This appearance might be followed with another speech in the Middle West—perhaps before the American Federation of Labor convention at Chicago. There were definite prospects of another speech in the east, maybe in New York, before the voters go to the polls to select a new congress. Brief Trips {

According to his friends, Mr. | Truman has no idea of making | campaign tours in the full sense of the word. A regular campaign | tour ‘means movement from town | to town by train with frequent ap- | pearances, impromptu speeches and sessions of hand-shaking from the | rear platform of the Pregienvs| car.
