SAN FRANCISCO, May’ 3-—(GP) _Proposed amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks world organiza- tion prop ls, s nounced today as acceptable to the United States delegation to the United Nations security conference, went a. long way toward meeting the desires of smaller countries, but didn't ans- wer the stand of Canada and oth- er _middle powers for greater rec- ognition oi their importance as peace-keeping agencies.

Cmdr. Herold E. Stsssen of the American delegation outlined at a press conference the general terms of nine amendments being con- sidered by the Big Four-Britain. the United States, Russia and

would accept.

These proposed amendments had to do with stating the high pur- poses of the proposed charter. spe- ciflc declarations of a determin- ation to uphold and strengthen intemational law and Justice. pro- viding for periodical review and safeguards a g a in st "freezing" countries within fixed boundaries and incorporation of the four free- doms of the Atlantic Charter.

Canada 1s expected to approye these proposals but is par interested. along with o her mid- dle powers, in the spechic provis-

.1 of safeguards againsz; s coun- t ts resour- ces in a war to put down slon without having a voice decision to apply such enforce- rnent.
