Tru man and Sen.' Bourke B. 4icken looper (R-Iowa) hooked up today in a sharp cross-country clash over whether Great Britain still has a veto power over United States use of atomic bombs. Yes, Britain has, Truman said in an interview at Kansas City. "Not correct," Hickenlooper told the Senate. "No comment," Truman said when asked abotit Hickenlooper's statement. "The record speaks for itself." James • C. Hagerty, President Dwight D. Eisenhower's press sec retary_ declared: "Sen. Hicken looper is Correct."

U.S. Seeks 'Grouping' Authoritative Washington re ports said the United States was aiming at a Southeast Asian re gional grouping which could coun ter. Red threats to that area. Britain appears ready to join in some form *of declaration con cerning Southeast Asia. A French Foreign Ministry spokesman said in Paris some Asian governments also would be asked to join in the formal warn ing. The Philippines and Thailand presumably were the most likely to be approached. Similar to Korean Pact The declaration, it was under stood, probably would closely re semble that issued last August by the 16 members of the United Na tions who participated in the Ko rean War.
