UN membership for Red China
and then voted for the fourth
time in favor of admitting Italy
as a full partner.

nation organization backed Italy's

to balk the will of the majority.
The Russians have vetoed Italy
today. Ethiopia abstained. Th e
vote came on an American
backed measure asking the Se
curity Council to approve Italy's
admission.
The Russians vetoed Italy Aug.
26, 1947, Oct. 1, 1947, and Sept. 13,
1949. They have intimated they
would let down the bars if the
West would admit some Soviet
backed candidates.
Antonio Quevedo of -Ecuador,
president of the 'Council this
month, was reported considering
a quick meeting of the Council
to bring the issue to a head.

which the Assembly upheld again
the right of the Nationalist Re

en, with four abstentions, against
a resolution, by
. White Russia' ob

Czech Communist Party
Purged to Stop Titoism
VIENNA, Austria, Dec. 7—(IP)—A purge of the Czechoslovak
Communist party from top to bottom was announced from Prague
today in a Russian-language radio broadcast.
The housecleaning has the avowed purpose of removing any
chance that Titoism might spring. up in. Czechoslovakia to overthrow
the Moscow-dominated govern
ment and replace it with inde
pendent, or National Communism.
The new purge is linked with
former Foreign Minister Vlado
Clementis, jailed a year ago for
alleged Titoist plotting, and Ru
dolf Slansky, former party gen
eral secretary, jailed two weeks
ago.
Ex-Dean Harrison
Blasts Pechan Bill
As !Dangerous'
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7,-(A ) )
Earl G. Harrison, former dean of
the University of Pennsylvania
Law School, has denounced the
proposed Pechan loyalty bill as
"a' foolish, unrealistic and dan
gerous piece, of legislation."
Speaking last night at a rally
sponsored by the American Civil
Liberties Union in the Friends
Meeting House, Harrison asserted:
"The whole notion of loyalty
inquisitions smacks of - the police
state, arid not of a democracy.
"Instead of a state law govern
ing subversion we should put
such' matters in the hands of the
FBI."

Fcir "HER"-
at Balfour's ("A" Store)
PARIS, Dec. 7—(?P)—The Brit
ish disclosed tonight they have
lined up alongside the Soviet bloc
for White RUssia over American
backed Greece in the deadlocked
voting on a Security Council seat.
Shock and resentment voiced in
Greece at the inconclusive out
come pried off some of the sec
recy of the ballot. Athens news
papers reported both Britain and
France were among the nations
favoring White Russia over
Greece for the seat Yugoslavia
is vacating after a two-year term.
But go v ernme n ‘ t officials in
London said Britain both voted
for 'White Russia and will con
tinue to do so for a while under
an unwritten "Gentleman's Agree
ment" of 1946—an agreement the
Americans contend was valid only
for that year. This provided that
the Soviet Union would have the
deciding voice in naming the can
didate for Eastern Europe's non
permanent seat. Six of the Coun
cil's 11 seats are non-permanent;
the big five hold the others.
"We'll keep on backing White
Russia unless it becomes appar
ent that Greece is going to muster
the necessary two-thirds major
ity," a British official said. "Then
we probably will switch over to
Greece.
The last of the eight votes yes
terday gave White Russia 32 and
Greece 27.
If Greece is finally defeated for
the seat in renewed voting next
week the result will be one of
the sharpest setbacks the United
States ever has had in the UN.
Alexis Kyrou, Greece's perman
ent delegate to the UN, said he
had been promised British and
French support for his nation,
which is getting ready to enter
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization as a. full partner.
It was mapped out by , President
Klement Gottwald in a report as
party chairman.
Gottwald told the committee
Slansky was removed from his
post. of party general secretary
last Sept. 6 because he tried to
"create another leadership ;cen
ter" in the party.
Gottwald said Slansky's case
now is being investigated "on a
new basis" but details could not
be disclosed "if we want to un
mask this treason down to the
roots."

Korean Plane,
Ground Action
SEOUL, Korea, Saturday, Dec.
B—(AP)—Snow and rain on the
Korean warfront Friday reduced
ground action and halted the rec
ord 11-day series of jet air
battles.
It was' one of the quietest days
since the Reds invaded South
Korea June 25, 1950.
Even the U. S. Fifth Air Force,
whose plapes range into Red ter
ritory rain or shine, reported
only 103 sorties Friday. Since
Nov. 26, when the series of jet
dogfights began, the, Fifth has
flown an average of 70 sorties
daily.
AP correspondent Milo Far
neti, on the Central Front, re
ported the day's liveliest action—
stubborn Chinese resistance to
three Allied patrols near Kum
song.
One Allied patrol probed into
the north section of a hill mass
dubbed "Little Italy" becauSe of
its boot-like shape. It was met by
strong small arms, mortar and
artillery fire.
It was the first time in 12 days
that no Red jets were sighted
along "Mig Alley" over North
west Korea. In the long series of
jet dogfights the air force re
ported 33 Red planes shot down,
two probably destroyed and 32
damaged. Allied losses for the
period were listed as six jets in
air battles and several to ground
fire.

Negotiations
'lnch Along'
MUNSAN, Korea, Saturday,
Dec. B—(AP)—Korean truce ne
gotiations inched along Friday
with some progress—but not
much—on a compromise pro
posal for policing an armistice.
In the wilderness of words, at
tendant to the talks, these points
were: (1) whether • both sides
should designate an equal num
ber of representatives on an ar
mistice commission, and (2) how
to limit troops during anarmis
tice.
Although the delegations still
sharply disagreed, observers at
this Allied camp believed the day
was approaching when the talks
would move swiftly.
At Friday's talks, the opposing
subcommittees reached general
agreement on these three points:
1. All armed forces to stop
shooting and bombing within 24
hours after an armistice becomes
effective;
2. Troops to withdraw from the
demilitarized zone within 72
hours after an armistice; and
3. Troops—except military po
lice—to stay out of the demilitar
ized zone.

Citing specific examples; th e
Senate group headed by Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.) said
it found among other examples:
A mess hall sergeant planning
to use 200 pounds of surplus cof
fee costing 67 cents a pound as
a floor-sweeping compound—in
stead of sawdust.
"Hotel type" dormitories cost
ing $1250 per man" equivalent to,

dence, a zeal for frugality, and
an enthusiasm for economy on the

PARIS, Dec. 7—(AP)—T h e
Western Big Three powers were
sharply at odds tonight with UN
Assembly President Luis Padil
la Nerivo• and Russia's Andrei
Vishinsky over the course their
disarmament talks are taking.
From - inside the c 1 osel y

the three Western delegates were
dismayed at the Mexican As

the discussion and that Vishinsky
eagerly seized on it as supporting
his stand.
An authoritative source said
Padilla Nervo proposed to report
to the UN political committee
that he- had found agreement on
both sides for immediate, uncon
ditional prohibition of atomic
weapons. This has been the key
stone of the Russian program.
