UN
For
Condemns
Jailing of
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec. 10 (W)—The United Nations
General Assembly by the smashing vote of 45-5, today condemned
Red China for jailing 11 American airmen as spies.
It appealed to Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to do. his
utmost to obtain their release and that of hundreds of other UN
personnel captured in the Korean
War and still detained by Peiping.
Hammarskjold immediately ac
cepted the responsibility, saying,
"I will do all in my power to
serve the interests of the • organ
ization."
He already had set in motion
the machinery of his office but
he declined to indicate what steps
were being taken. It is known
that he regards this case as per
haps the greatest challenge ever
to face the secretary general since
the UN began work in. 1946.
Stubborn Soviet bloc resistance
to the resolution and its repeated
claims the airmen were ."spies"
who got what. they deserved in
dicated the Red Chinese, as of the
present, will ignore ..the .UN ac
tion. An Indian attempt on: a ten
tative basis to see what. could be
done has been firmly rebuffed by
Peiping.

Books Mailed
To Philippines
Fifteen boxes of boolcs have
been sent to Silliman . University
in the Philippine Islands by the
College of Business Administra
tion student council.
The books, totaling about 320
pounds, will be used to help re
build the Silliman University
library, which was wiped out dur
ing World War 11. They were
collected by the council during
a month-long drive in November.
The University has made other
contributions to Silliman, accord
ing to • the department of public
information. Collections taken
during chapel services were sent
there.

Jr., U.S. delegate, and Anthony
Nutting, British minister of state.
Then he saw separately Jacob A.
Malik, Soviet delegate, and Ar
thur S. Lall, India's permanent
delegate to the UN. These four
would be primarily concerned in
efforts to free the men and it
was believed here his talks dealt
with that case. No one would
comment.
Later, the Assembly's Special
Political committee rejected So
viet charges that the United
States was committing aggression
against Red China and had seized
the island of Formosa. The vote
was 5 in favor of the Soviet bloc
and 39 against. This was the sec
ond item affecting China being
considered today by the UN.
Only the Soviet bloc members
voted against the condemnation,
which was contained in a resolu
tion put up last Monday by the
United States and its 15 UN part
nerg:ixi: the: Korean War.

total amount.)

from the list of national welfare
organizations to receive Chest
funds. (Much criticism was re

turned in to the Student Union
desk in Old Main.

Evergreens Removed
From FOrestry Plots
Damage to the University school
of forestry's experimental ever

to the removal of trees from the

of the school, asked the coopera
tion of all to prevent the destruc
tion of these trees since it takes

seekers are blamed for the dam
age to the research project.

Lehman Says
Party Charters
Are Not Control
Ross B. Lehman, chairman of the Senate Committee on Student
Affairs subcommittee on organization control, said today that the
chartering of political parties by Senate is not an attempt to control
them.
"The committee is not trying to control political parties or re
move the element of politics,". Lehman said.
"It is surveying the parties in
the same way that it would survey
any other student organization.
It is interested only in making
student organizations responsible
to student government or con
stituent groups. It is surveying
the parties in the same way that
it would survey any other student
organization. It is interested only
in making student organizations
responsible to student govern
ment or constituent groups. It is
Particularly interested in seeing
that student organizations give
their constituents a voice," he
said.
No Statement Made
The subcommittee could still
make no official statement on
Monday's meeting to review the
constitutions of the Lion and
State parties, pending a report of
its findings to the Senate Com
mittee on Student Affairs. The stu
dent affairs committee must make
the final decision on the charter
ing of the political parties.
Lehman did 'say, however, that
the subcommittee made "recom
mendations" to the parties for the
revision of their constitutions. He
did not elaborate.
The parties have until Jan. 13
to revise their constitutions. If
the subcommittee finds them. in
order at that• time, it will report
to the Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs. If it decided that
the constitutions still need revis
ing after the Jan. 13 deadline, it
will make further recommenda
tions.
Eight Recommendations
An unofficial source told the
Daily Collegian of eight specific
recommendations made by the
subcommittee to the parties ,at
Thursday's meeting.
These recommendations were
said to have included:
1. A clause containing the ten
ure of office for clique officers.
2. That the parties' steering
committees be composed of a ma
jority of elected members, al
