- 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

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.

gressions," Wadsworth said: "The
Communist,Chinese have no right
to sit at this table."
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.

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.

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 Cites
'Rule' Problem
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1 (W)—
Governor-elect George M. 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.

United States as an Elk is tech
