Washington, Sept. 24. (AP)-Possibility of another fight in the United States Senate over American adhesion to the World Court loomed today as the result of the action of the delegate advisory conference at Geneva.
The conference approved a special protocol to translate the five American reservations into the language of the court and the covenant of the League which would give members the right to withdraw approval of the fourth and fifth reservations in the future.
Submission of the document to Washington would probably reopen the struggle as the protocol would need approval of the Senate, observers thought.
It was felt here that the entire question of America's membership had been complicated by the conference's action, not prevent completely participation of the United States in the work of the court.
