UN Elections, Appointments
Will Test Russian Strength
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
* WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — Convening of the
United Nations General Agsembly at Flushing
Meadows, New York, September 19, will open a
second front for the Russian war of nerves against
the UN,
Number one question is whether the Russians will
be there, Betting odds are that they will be. The fun
will start immediately.
First skirmish is apt to be over appointments of
a credentials committee. Heretofore that has been
1 -utine business. This time, Russia might challenge
t - credentials of the Chinese delegation. So there
..v be a scramble for places on the credentials
¢o amittee and a fight on its report.
I lection of a new president will touch off another
b: tile, Brigadier General Carlos Romulo of the
I llippines has been an effective General Assembly
prosiding officer in the past year,
A General Assembly president never has been
eleted for a second term, but General Romulo
mizht be so nominated. Nominations are made from
the floor. The Commnwun bloc will probably have
a rival candidate. But it won’t have the votes to
put him over,
Adoption of the 63-item agenda may cause some
jo keying for order in which the various items are
t2en up, or substitution of Russian proposals for
p cviously accepted statements,
W SECURITY COUNCIL !
" MBERS TO BE ELECTED
All these preliminaries are expected to take about
a week, Then will come a week or 10 days of gen
¢ 2l debate.
Along about the third week, ot early October, the
CA will get back on voting squabbles. First will
come@ the election of three new, non-permanent
members of the Security Council for 1951-52. They
will occupy the seats now held by Cuba, Egypt and
Norway.
This will be a real struggle. Russia will naturally
try to place on the SC countries sympathetic to her
point of view, But again, the Russian bloc may not
have the votes.
Appointment of a new secretary-general will ke
¢nother storm center, Trygve Lie's five-year term
¢.pires on February 2, 1951. He has said he wants
1y get out. But he may have made this statement
just to make himself a “free man” to promote his
LJ-year peace plan,
Secretary Lie’s strong support of the United
Nations’ resistance to North Korean aggression,
however, has now made him persona non grata to
the Russians,
Nomination of the secretary general can be made
only on recommendation of the Security Council.
So the real election battle will come in the Council,
where it will be subject to Russian veto.
One way to get around this road block might be
for somreone in the General Assembly to move that
its rules be changed to make the term of office
seven years. This might extend Lie's term by two
vears. He would no doubt like to have the choice to
refuse this, or accept it.
POLITICAL QUESTIONS NEXT ON AGENDA
These and similar questions out of the way, the
General Assembly can turn to its political head
aches, All such questions are automatically referred
1o one or the other of the six standing committees
of the whole. So the in-fighting will be in commit
tee first, in plenary session of the General Assem
bly later on.
Political Committee One will have before it the
questions of Palesting, formrer Italian colonies,
Greece, China, Korea, Spain, violation of human
rights in the Balkan satellite countries, and inter
national control of atomic energy.
Economic and Financial Committee Two will deal
principally with the question of underdeveloped
countries.
Sqcial Committee Three will consider the draft
convention on freedom of information, refugees and
similar welfare problems,
Trusteeship Committee Four’s principal business
will be the South African question and reports
from trustee territories.
Administrative Committee Five deals with the
UN budget.
Legal Committee Six has various matters of in
t_rnational law,
Present hopes are to wind up the General Assem
bly session early in December. But if there is a lot
of unfinished business, the Assembly might be
called back for a special session next spring.
It seems obvious to me that the time is long over
due for the National Government to match the
gravity of the times with equal gravity and vigor
of attitude and action.—Thomas E. Dewey, gover
nor of New York.
We know the cost of freedom is high. But we are
determined to preserve our freedom — no moatter
wha! the cost.—President Truman,
Envied Seaman Sails Away From

It All, Seeking New Horizons
For a while it began to look as if there was noth
ing at all in the news to divert our attention, at
least momentarily, from you-know-what and its
effects in Washington, Lake Success, and at the
corner grocery,
The same thing must have occurred to Edward
C. Allcard, a lean and resourceful young man from
Surrey, England, as he cut loose fronr land and
moorings the other day and departed from our At
lantic coast for 50 days of solitary thinking.
To be sure, he will not be completely idle of body
during this long and voluntary meditation., He is
sailing his 34-foot yawl back to England after a
year in the U. S. He left as he arrived: by sea, alone,
penniless, and not at all discouraged,
While in what he calls “the country of his
dreams,” he earned $1,500 or so by writing a book
and appearing on the radio and television. He left
the money here to pay for refitting the “Temptress”
and her red sails, and for rice, canned mreat and a
little gasoline.
After all, what could he do with money on the
long voyage home? He will not need it for the dol
phins he spears; his experiments, west-bound for 81
days last year, showed him the dolphins are per
fectly satisfied with dirty socks or a page from the
London Times,
He will not need it to watch the sun rise out of
the sea at dawn and plunge in again at dusk, a dif
ferent and magnificent performance each night and,
for Allcard’s 50 days, unsullied by man-made dis
plays and caterwauling.
At times, he will be beset by troubles that, in
perspective, will loom for the moment even bigger
than the crisis headlines now in our daily landlocked
diet. Alone on the ocean, a 34-foot craft is a tiny
world, and squalls and gales can sometimes seem
like the end of that world. A sailorman knows they
must blow themselves out, however, and he knows
how to ride them until they do.
Besides being a sailorman, Allcard is by way of
being a philosopher. He will see beauty, wild as it
may be, in the storms, and he will be thinking while
the winds make mad music in the rigging. Thus he
will have something to write and lecture about
when he makes his penniless lancfall in England.
We haven't any idea of sailing away in a yawl, or
anything else, for a 50-day cruise by ourselves, We
aren’t suggesting that you do, either, Now that the
“Temptress” has disappeared over the horizon, we
intend to get back to the news. But we cannot say
that we blame Allcard, at all.
State Department Jumps
On Defense
Department of State and Department of Defense
are now at loggerheads over release of information
on Russian participation in Korean war. When an
Army briefing officer recently gave out intelligence
report that there were two or three Russian officers
operating right down to battalion headquarters in
every Korean division, a State Department official
complained bitterly.
What State Department apparently wants to do is
release all such information through Ambassador
Warren Austin, at United Nations Security Council,
In that way, this intelligence has maximum pro
paganda effect on the Russians.
Taxes As Stabilizer
Tax expert Roy Blough, newest member of Pres
ident Truman’s Council of Economic Advisers, says
that a war economy stabilized by taxation presents
a smaller threat to inflation than a war economy
stabilized by direct controls. Speaking before an
Indiana Univefity group, Blough may thus have
revealed the thinking behind President Truman’s
new lack of enthusiasm for stand-by controls over
rationing, prices and wages.
“Paying (for defense) through taxation may seem
to increase the burden, but it does not,” says Blough.
On the other side of the argument he says, “Direct
controls are difficult to impose fairly. They are
likely to lead to evasion. They do not get to the
heart of the trouble and may merely postpone infla
tion . ~ They are likely to hamper economic
growth. . . . Taxation and other fiscal means should
therefore be used first, with various kinds of direct
controls being employed oniy as they are required.”
. The power of the atom is being felt in a new—
and encouraging—way at General Electric’s atomic
power laboratory at Schenectady, N. Y. Workers
there refused to do anything about striking right
now. The reason, said the president of the Atomic
Energy Commission Workers local (CIO), is that
“we feel a loyalty to the government, and that
* doesn’t call for a strike vote at this time.” It's a
feeling we hope will spread on all sides of the honre
front.
The real heroes of the war are the litter jeep
drivers and corpsmen who drive through enemy
road blocks and fighting areas to bring out the
wounded. Never once have they refused a call,
even though it has meant risking death and injury.
—Captain Donald L. Duerk, in South Korea.
There are nrany anti-anti-Communists . . . those
who highly condemn and oppose the Communist
movement, but have gone fishing ... when it is
time to vote.—Senator Karl Mundt (R.-S.D.).

Atrophic Arthritis Is Problem

The kind of arthritis called

of arthritis is still not known.

The condition is likely to become
chronic in several of the joints. As
time goes on more and more of the
joint tissues are affected, so that
eventually the cartilage between
the joints may be entirely de
stroyed and a stiff joint results.

can agree. Injections with a for

stops early, the joints will remain
almost entirely normal with little

crippling will result which cannot

ingenious eperations have been de
vised which are often helpful in
restoring joint functions.
