The Latins' conference plans cover three main points: 1. A demand for four more temporary seats on the security council, which under the Dumbarton Oaks plan has five permanent big-power seats and six which change periodically for the other nations.

The Latins said they would like to reserve these four for themselves. 2. A prediction that Brazil would seek an additional permanent seat on the council for one of the Latin American nations. 3.

KELLY WASHINGTON. April 21 President Truman blazed a new path of cooperation between congress and the White House todav with an invitation for Kenneth D. McKellar.

president pro tempore of the senate, to sit at cabinet meetings. Mr. Truman already has demonstrated his determination to perfect and maintain a solid liaison with Capitol Hill, and the invitation he extended McKellar underscored that aim. McKellar sat in at his first cabinet session yesterday, occupying the seat reserved for tlie vice president at the end of the long table. The honor was perhaps the greatest yet conferred on the solidly-built Tennessee Democrat, dean of the senate by virtue of more than 28 years of continuous service.

Last January he was elected president pro tempore, succeeding Virginia's ailing Carter Glass. When President Roosevelt died and Harry S. Truman moved up to the White House. McKellar became the senate's regular presiding officer, although his title remained unchanged. In his new vantage point at cabinet meetings.

McKellar will be in a position to render two-way help to the administration. He will be available for instant consultation on legislative matters, and from his chair as presiding officer he can smooth the way for administration measures in the senate.
