3 (£>)—The UN Assembly today
approved -an American - backed
resolution condemning atrocities
by any government and express
ing “grave concern” at reports of
Red atrocities in Korea. The Rus
sians protested with cries of
“fake” and “libel.”
' The final vote was 42-5 with
only the Russian bloc opposing
the resolution. Henry Cabot Lodge
Jr., chief American delegate, said
the verdict proved true the Amer
ican . charges that Communist
Chinese and North Koreans, act
ing on a conscious, policy laid
down by the Communists, , tor
tured or killed 38,000 UN sol
diers and Korean civilians.
Vishinsky Denounces Charge
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Russian
deputy foreign minister, made a
further assault on the American
case after the vote. He denounced
it as “a' falsification, a fake and
utterly spurious.” He assailed the
resolution as libelous and hypo
critical.
Lodge rushed the charges to the
UN Assembly in late October fol
lowing the demands of members
of Congress for the delegation to
do something about the tale of
horror and death released in
Washington by the Pentagon.
The Americans have been canvas
sing thoroughly for support and
they watched , the vote closely at
the end,.of three days of tense
debate.
Indians Refuse io Vote
• India’s delegate, V. K. Krishna
Menon, said “not participating”
when the roll was called. He had
announced at the beginning of the
debate that India would not take
part because India is chairman of
the Neutral Nations Repatriation
Commission now trying to dispose

McCarthy Req wests
"Write Ike" Gam paigii
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (JP) —Gen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis),
disowning any idea, of challenging President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
leadership, called today for a nationwide “Write the President”
campaign designed to reverse one phase of-Eisenhower foreign policy.
Speaking out within 24 hours after Eisenhower warned against
“coercion” of America’s allies,
McCarthy requested all who agree
with his views to write or wire
the President asking him to halt
what McCarthy termed the “blood
trade” with Red China.
Disagrees with Dulles
McCarthy said he is in “com
plete disagreement” with Secre
tary of State John F. Dulles on
the question of continued aid to
countries trading with the Chi
nese Communists.
- Dulles’ stand, ■as set forth at
his -news, conference on Tuesday,
is that U.S. dollar aid to friendly
nations “does not give us the right
to dictate their trade policies.”
The President backed Dulles to
the hilt at his own. news confer
ence yesterday and cautioned, that
“the easiest thing to do with great
power is to abuse it.” .
Issues Statement
Reacting to double-barreled re
buffs from the President and Dul
les, McCarthy issued a 600-word
statement in which he:
1. Scoffed at suggestions that he
was challenging Eisenhower’s par
ty leadership. “Ridiculous and un
true,” he said.
2. Refused to retreat an inch
from the previous stands with
which the administration dis
agreed.
.3. Called on Dulles to “reap
praise our whole policy” toward
allies trading with Red China:

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING' DECEMBER 4, 1953
The University will not .press
charges against the owner of a
West Virginia automobile- that
was seen in the Nittany Shrine
area after the shrine was doused
with paixit Oct. 31, the Dean of
Men’s- office reported yesterday.
The license number of the auto
mobile was reported to the-Cam
pus Patrol and the Dean of Men’s
office checked with West Virginia
University authorities. -
The director of student activi
ties- at West Virginia reported
back.to the Dean of Men’s office
in a letter saying that the license
number corresponded to that of
an automobile belonging to a for
mer student of the school. The
letter said the owner of the auto
mobile was still living in Morgan
town, but he was no longer- afr
filiated with the University.
• O. Edward Pollock,, assistant to
the Dean of Men, said • yesterday
it would be pointless to press the
case any further since the owner
is no longer connected with the
school. The cost of cleaning up
the shrine, he said, would, be
much less , than to take action as
a University against an individual.

WDFM Hopes
To Go On Air
Sunday Evening
Station WDFM will go on the air at 7:25 . Sunday evening with
its first actual broadcast provided that technical materials needed
for operation arrive Saturday, according to Prof. David R. Mackey,
faculty general manager.
The vital materials needed are couplings for fits on the antenna,
Prof. Mackey said. The mate
rials were expected to arrive in
time but recent developments
have made their arrival doubtful.
“The broadcasts are intended as
program tests for the FM portion
of the equipment,” Professor Mac
key said. He also added that the
tests will continue until the sta
tion receives its license from the
Federal Communications Commis
sion and' until the transponders,
which convert FM waves to AM,
are built and placed in the dorms.
Until the transponders arrive
and are installed, there will be
no AM reception in the dormi
tories. During the FM program
tests the station will have an
audience in the fraternities, sor
ority suites, and with students
and homes in the nearby district
who have FM receiving radio
sets.
When the transponders are in
stalled and the FCC issues the
station a license, WDFM will be
officially dedicated, Professor
Mackey said. In the meantime the
station will ,go on a regular pro
gram schedule to orient the staff
to the broadcasting procedures, he
concluded. .
Sunday evening’s program
schedule will *get under way at
7:25- ;At 7:30 the BBC World
Theatre will feature “Happy and
Glorious,” a story about Queen
Victoria and. Prince Albert. World
and campus news and sports
headlines will follow at 8:55. An
opera entitled “Tales of Hoffman”
will begin at 9:00 and will round
out the station’s broadcasting ac
tivities. The opera will be taken
directly from the movie score and
will be sung in English.
The creation of the station was
made possible by the gifts of the
graduating classes of 1951 and
1952. Operating costs are being
borne by the University and the
students’ fees.
The purposes of the station are
threefold: to serve the Depart
ments of Speech, Journalism, Dra
matics, Music and other interested
departments of the University in
training, for professional radio
work; to offer opportunities for
other students and student organ
izations to convey information to
the student body, and to broad
cast their activities under trained
supervision. It will serve as a
medium through ' which appro
priate types of research in radio
education and training methods
may be conducted.
There are now about 90 to 100
students working on the station in
some capacity. During the pre
liminary period positions on the
staff are of a temporary nature
and it is expected that an an
nouncement-of permanent assign
ments will be made in the near
future.
.and turned in to Campus and
Community Service, WDFM, be
fore 4 p.m. each day at the Stu
dent Union desk in Old Main or
at the CCS mail box in 306 Sparks.
Applications may be obtained at
the Student Union desk or at the
station offices in 306 Sparks.
. All announcements made in the
name of an organization must be
applied for by an officer of that
organization, or by a member di
rectly responsible for the event
being -promoted. .All announce
ments .must be factual and any
attempt. to air. false information
regardless of purpose will result
in prosecution of the individual
responsible.

ily be granted, in the order in
which they are received;
Ski Club,
Outing Club
Combined
The Penns Valley Ski Club
voted Wednesday night to merge
with the Outing Club to form the
Penn State Outing Club with the
provision that several points in
the proposed constitution of the
new group be revised.
The major point referred to by
the ski club stipulated that only
students be entitled to active
membership in the new group.
Faculty and townspeople would
be admitted as associate, non-vot
ing members. The ski club has
included faculty and townspeople
as active 'members.
Fred M. Coombs, professor of
physical education and, a sponsor
of the Outing Club, urged merg
ing of the 'two groups. He said
there is no organized group that
can present a plan for use of exist
ing outing facilities.
Coombs told 85 students, fac
ulty, and townspeople who at
tended the meeting that the Penn
State Outing Club will have sup
port from the School of Physical
Education and Athletics through
its Recreation department. This
will facilitate some continuity in
planning programs, he said.
Coombs said the $2 fee pro
posed for membership in the new
group will be pooled and alloted
to divisions as demand occurs.
Funds will be handled by officers
and the board of directors of the
club, he said.
The Penn State Outing Club
will include three divisions. Un
der winter sports will be skiing
and skating; under cabin and
trail will be hosteling, camping
andhiking; and under field and
stream, hunting, fishing, canoe
ing, conservation, mountaineering,
and archery.
Development of Beaver Dam as
an ice skating lake, now a pro
ject of the ski club, will be under
taken by the merged group.
