WASHINGTON. — The United
States will use its veto, if neces
sary, to prevent Red China from
gaining admittance to the United
Nations Security Council, Secre
tary of State John. Foster Dulles
said here.
This followed shortly after Presi
dent Eisenhower said that he is
completely and unalterably op
posed to Red China membership
in the UN, under the present situa
tion.
President Eisenhower said he be
lieved 95 per cent of the people
of the United States would stand
with him in his opposition to Red
China membership in the UN. The
UN is, among other things, he
pointed out, an attempt to marshal
the moral strength of the world
U. S. Will Use Veto to Keep
Reds From Security Council
Kinsey Reports
Cited as Factor
In 'Sex Hysteria'
SAN FRANCISCO. (NC)— Pub
lications such as the Kinsey re
ports are contributing factors to a.
wave of “sex hysteria” that is caus
ing an increase in illegitimate
births throughout the nation, the
American Medical Association con
vention here was told.
Dr. Goodrich C. Schauffler of
Portland, Oreg., in a report to the
convention took a stand akin to
that of Catholic and other religious
leaders last fall when the latest
Kinsey report was published. He
told the conyen.tion that the easy
availability of sex information
these days “often defeats its own
purupose.” , ,
‘Young people nowadays,” Dr.
Schauffler said, “are exposed to
teachings such as those of Freud
and Jung, and to research material
such as that of Kinsey, without the
cooperation of mature intelligence.
The result is an emotional sham
bles which fosters many of the
deviations and denatured biologi
cal trends which are common,
among our young folks.”
The “sex hysteria,” Dr. Schauf
fler said, is a “calculated instru
ment” of journalism, movies, radio,
television and the theater. He said
that the great number of illegiti
mate births stem from a greatly
increased awareness of Sex among
young people. He said physicians
could play an important part in
bringing happiness to iinwed moth
ers if they would go “beyond the
ordinary call of duty” in advising
and counselling them. He said that
many unwed mothers are under
20 and come from comparatively
privileged groups.
In another report to the conven
tion, Dr. Nadina R. Kavinoky of
Los Angeles, said that many young
couples can 4iead off marital
malad-justments by seeking medi
cal advice before marriage. She
said that “enlightened parents,
religious leaders and educators are
turning to the physician for medi
cal help to prevent annulments
and divorces and supplement what
ever preparation for marriage this
generation is receiving.” As a re
sult, she added, an increasing num
ber of brides and grooms are being
better prepared for marriage.
in order to preserve peace. He add
ed that there is a moral issue in
volved, and that he did not see
how any state could vote for the
acceptance of the Peking regime
in the UN, under present condi
tions.
The Chief Executive pointed out
that Red China excoriated the UN
at the recent Geneva Conference;
demanded repudiation of the UN
position; is today at war with the
United Nations, and is employing
the worst possible diplomatic con
duct in international affairs.
Secretary Dulles expressed con
fidence today that the Red China
regime would be unable to gain
membership this Fall in any of the
principal UN organizations, includ
ing the General Assembly.
President Eisenhower declined
yesterday to say at this time
whether he favored the withdrawal
of the United States from the UN,
if the communist regime is given
membership. He said it is a ques
tion whether we could do more
good, better advance the cause of
peace, by staying in or withdraw
ing from a United Nations that had
the Red China government as a
member. He added that he thought
the situation should not be pre
judged.
Secretary Dulles said he did not
believe there would be any oc
casion for the United States to
withdraw from the United Nations
if Red China is admited. He said
to talk of this action now is to
strike a note of defeatism and is
unjustified, because the United.
States and nations that think as
we do have a strong case for block
ing Red China membership.
As early as last March, Ambas
sador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., U.
S. Representative to the United
Nations in the Security Council,
said this country would employ its
veto, if necessary, to keep Red-
China out.
Senator William F. Knowland of
California has said that, if Red
China is admitted to the UN this
Fall, on that day he will resign as
majority leader in the Senate, the
more effectively to lead a fight for
the withdrawal of, the United
States from the UN.
The Chinese Reds, both before
and since they gained control of
the China mainland, have conduct
ed what has been called the most
vicious persecution the. Church has
suffered in its 2,000-year history.
They have tortured Catholic mis
sionaries, expelled almost -5,000 of
them, and now hold scores of them
in jail or house arrest. Native
Catholics have suffered even more
severely. A report issued three
months ago by a veteran China
missionary and journalist listed
names of 166 priests, Brothers and
nuns murdered by the Chinese
communists and places and dates
of their deaths.

ST. COLUMBANS, Neb.—(NC)—
“You were always two jumps ahead
of us . . > with a magnificent
system—just like our own,” Red

ed as saying, when they finally

the arrest apd imprisonment were
reported here at polumban Fathers
headquarters.
Father McGrath, who was pro
moter of the Legion of Mary in
