Fears of Disarmament. Captain of this legal rear guard is a militant A.B.A. past-president, Frank Holman. 74, of Seattle, author and bankroller of a 32-page pro-Connally pamphlet that is being circulated to leaders of the 99,400-member association as well as to women's clubs, veterans' groups and editors around the nation. Dismissing the proponents of repeal as "internationalists" and "world government enthusiasts," Holman argues that "the Connally Reservation is necessary to protect the U.S. against a program of supernational supervision of its citizens," imposed by alien jurists who could make up rules...
...Charter, the World Court cannot interfere in domestic disputes. The Connally Reservation, by empowering the U.S. to decide what disputes are domestic, encourages other nations to use the same device to stay out of the reach of international justice. For this reason, argue Rhyne & Co. in reply to the Holman rear guard, the Connally Reservation itself really legally disarms...

Ten years later, after Louisiana Standard was merged into Esso...
...roadblock was an attempt by Holman and a pickup band of supporters to get the association to reverse itself on a 13-year-old stand. In 1947 the Bar Association went on record opposing the so-called Connally Reservation, pushed through the U.S. Senate in 1946 by Texas' Senator Tom Connally, which reserves to the U.S. the right to withhold any case from the jurisdiction of the World Court in Geneva by calling it a "domestic issue.'' Since domestic disputes are actually exempt from World Court action anyhow, the lawyers knew that the Connally Reservation would serve...
...Under Holman's attack, another former A.B.A. president, North Carolina's Charles Rhyne (TIME cover. May 5, 1958) began quietly to nip the assault. His strategy: pigeonhole the Holman resolution in Rhyne's own Committee on World Peace through Law. It worked. After Malone's speech and others, the question came to a vote, wound up with a ringing 127-68 defeat for Holman and an added push for repeal of the Connally Reservation...
