THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1954 UN : _:_:.,D..:..0r, 'Chi i l e,se From' .-!Gorse Talks - UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec. 1 (JP)—With Red China's jailing of 13 Americans as spies•injecting a grave new, element here, the UN Political Committee today barred Com munist China and North- Korea from its debates on peace in Korea. The vote was 39-9. Only the Soviet bloc of five, plus Burma, India, Indonesia, and Yugoslavia voted to in vite the Reds here. The committee then voted 43-5 to give South Korea a voice in the debate. The case of the 13 Americans came up indirectly here but Secretary of State Dulles disclosed in Washington he had been in contact with UN members on the problem. American delegate James J. Wadsworth denounced the Red Chinese action against the Americans, saying it was taken on "trumped up charges." He brought it up as an additional Red Chino To Stand With Russia MOSCOW, Dec. 1 (JP) Red China's ambassador to • Moscow said today his country's millions stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Russia and are "not afraid of a war directed against aggression." He asserted the Western• powers would "suffer a fate worse than Hitler's" if they fight the Corn munist countries. Chang Wen-tien, who is also a member oft the Chinese 'Commu nist party's Central Committee and Politburo, addressed the So viet-sponsored European security conference. He is an observer at the conference, which the West ern powers, declined to attend. Delegates are present from the Soviet Union and seven Commu nist-governed European countries. Chang Offers Defense Western observers interpreted Chang's speech as a Chinese offer to come to the defense of Russia in the event of war in Europe. He stressed China's "600 million peo ple." Russia has about 22b mil lion. Chang acknowle,dged frankly that Communist-bloc states are "headed by the Soviet Union." Rearm West Germany He denounced the Paris agree ment to rearm West Germany, calling it "a serious provocation on the part of the United States and their supporters in England and France. At the present time the aggressive circles of the Unit ed States and their British and French supporters pin their hopes on the remilitarization of Western Germany. Chang followed the course of other Communist spokesmen at the conference in calling for for mal rearmament of Soviet-occu pied East Germany. East Germany for several years has had a "peo ple's police" force estimated at about 130,000 which Western of ficials say is an army of disguise. Burke Picks Up 'Votes In Election Recount COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 1 (p)— U.S. Sen. Thomas A. Burke (1)- Ohio) picked up 1708 'votes as his 25-county recount passed the half way mark today amid charges of "outright vote stealing." The count covered 3500 pre cincts with more than 3300 to go. Burke had called for the biggest recount in state history in the hope of overcoming the official 6041-vote margin of his Republi can opponent, George H. Bender, in the Nov. 2 election. 3 indicted for Murder • SCRANTON, Pa., 'Dec. 1 (?P)— Three prisoners at the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary were indict ed today on a general charge of Murder in the fatal beating -of for m e r government economist William W..

He and the committee majority ignored a .thinly-veiled hint from Foreign Minister Stanislaw Skres zewski of Poland that an invita tion might help clear up the case. He and the committee also paid no attention to a comment from Jacob A. Malik, Soviet chief dele gate, that the "Chinese People's Republic is not at war with the United States." Malik said if American fliers "showed up on Chinese territory, they are treated in the same man ner as the U.S. authorities would deal with fliers of other countries if they had the Same assignment as the American fliers." "What does this have to do with the discussion of the Korean case here?" Malik asked. "The whole fabric of this argument was con cocted artificially because the United States was short of any serious argument," Malik formally proposed a new conference on Korea among the "states involved." This apparently would be a continuation of the Geneva setup •and the United States and the West have made it clear they are not interested in a repeat performance of the Gen e'ia talks on Korea. Wadsworth gave an indirect re ply to Malik in his opening speech in the political committee's gen eral debate. "At this time," he said, "when Communist China has just furnished fresh evidence of its brutal and illegal treatment of captured ,perso - rinel of the Uni ted Nations 'command in violation of the armistice agreement, the members of this committee will surely agree that conditions for negotiations are not favorable." Wadsworth reaffirmed the two principles agreed upon by the UN allies at the end of the Geneva conference on Korea last June. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVAN! Hope Dims For Crash Survivors, MILAN, N.H., Dec. 1 (R)—Slim hopes dimmed tonight for the•sur vival of seven persons missing more than 30 hours in a Northeast Airlines plane downed in sub freezing temperatures in rugged. snow-covered mountains. While ground and air searchers combed the hilly, wooded terrain along the aircraft's Laconia-to- Berlin route without success. an expert mountaineer termed the survival chances of the six men and a woman "very slim." With temperatures sliding to ward zero in the high elevations, Joe Dodge, manager of the Ap palachian Mountain Club's Pink ham Notch camp, said any sur vivors of the landing could not live another night without proper equipment and clothing. The slim hope that spurred weary searchers was a faint and fading radio message, "presum ably from the pilot," that said: "Emergency —down five miles northeast of field . . hill, but ..." The message initiated a close air combing of the Bald Moun tain area, about five miles north east of Berlin airport in Milan. However, the search by helicop ter, private plane and service air craft failed to turn up the missing airplane. Ike Urges Benefits WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (W)— The Eisenhower administration today again urged the states to act through their legislatures to boost both the amount and dura tion of unemplovment compensa tion benefits. Poultry Club to Meet Plans for a Christmas party will be discussed by . the Poultry Club at 7 tonight in 108 Plant Industries. The party will be held Dec. 16. 2 Senators Red China WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (W)—Sens. William E. Jenner (R.-Ind.) and Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) joined today in support of the idea of blockading the coast of Red China, a proposition opposed by the Eisenhower administration as "war action."' Jenner said the United States should maintain a blockade until Red China frees all its American captives. As for w.ar action, he said the imprisonment of 13 Americans accused by the Corn munists of being spies "is peril ously close to an act of war." Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said last Monday that the .United States would "react vigor ously" against Communist provo cation in Asia. But he said it would . try first to find peaceful means "rather than now resorting to War action such as a naval and air blockade of Red China." On Tuesday, White House press secretary, James C. 'Hagerty said President Dwight D. Eisenhower feels that such a blockade would amount to war action. Hagerty said Eisenhower "approved' com pletely'! of Dulles' speech. Sen. John J. Sparkman (D.- Ala.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said today he too believed a blockade would be "an act of war and would be in violation of the Korean armis tice agreement." The idea of a blockade has been pressed by Sen. William F. Know land, the Senate's Republican ma jority leader. Knowland said he believes there is no great. breach between him and the administra tion, but rather a difference of opinion. Red China's ambassador to Rus sia, Chang Wen-tien, said at Mos cow today that Red China "is not afraid of war. We often say we need peace, but we are not afraid of war directed against aggres sion." • Chang told the Russian-spon sored European Security Confer ence that if the United States and its allies go to war against Com munist countries "they will suf fer a fate worse than Hitler's."

Leader said today the biggest problem in municipal government operation is passage by the state of enab ling legislation for home rule charters. "We must aid the cities in get ting passage of enabling legisla tion for home rule charters," Leader said. "And then we must stand by it and see that it oper ates properly." Another big factor in solving re. lations between the state and local governments, he told a meeting of the American Municipal Assn., is the expanded use of planning commissions at every level of government. He said "if we can initiate lead ership that will start on the state level and flow through regional planning commissions down to the local commissions, then I think we will take a big step torward solving the problem." During a news conference be fore the talk, Leader said. the out going administration of Gov. John S. Fine has "generously offered" to allow some Democratic finan cial experts to work in the budget secretary's office during the next several weeks to get an idea of the state's financial picture.
