UNITED NATIONS ANNIVERSARY See Page 4 Y Latest Deadline in the State 743 att]y PARTLY CLOUDY, WARMER VOL. LXI, No. 25 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1950 SIX PAGES Active Alien Face Arrest Surprise Move {Nabs Leaders WASHINGTON-(A)-The, Jus- tice Department 'yesterday an- nounced. a swift crackdown on 86 persons tabbed as active alien Communists. A coast-to-coast roundup netted. nearly a score of them in the first stages. These aliens, described by offi- cials as having carried on Commu- nist propaganda work, were mark- ed for detention and possible de- portation. The Power to Control Advancing Strike NeN South Koreans rer Manchuria L- FBI AGENTS and United States immigration officials were report- ed on the track of those not yet picked up. Some of the arrests were made before dawn yesterday. Others were seized in half a dozen cities during the day. The Justice Department said the ten "most important" aliens in the group were taken in first. Later, the Department announced the names of five others caught in the net, and federal authorities else- where reported further arrests. All were seized under the 1950 Internal Security Act-the so-call- ed "Communist. control" law - which Congress passed over. Presi- dent Truman's veto. *. s AS THE roundup continued, President Truman acted to put, teeth into the new anti-subversives law by setting up machinery need- ed for enforcement. At the same time, a Wa hing- ton attorney, Ralph A. Powe, sought an injunction in United States District Court to halt en- forcemen$ of the new act. Powe said he represented 107 Individuals living in 32 states. He Schallenged the law as unconsti- tutional:' District Judge F. Dickinson Letts ruled that the street addresses of the 107 petitioners would have to be listed before the petition could be accepted. POWE said he would get them and file the petition-possibly set- ting up the first court test of the new law-within three days. President Truman appointed a five-man Communist c o n t r o 1 board, headed ;by Seth W. Rich- ardson, to determine what organi- - zations and individuals are subject to provisions of the statue. Among its major features, the anti-subversives law requires Communists and Communist i front organizations to register with the United States Attorney General or face penalties up to $10,000 or five years in jail, or both. Under the law, today was R-day --the last day for American Com- mluists to register voluntarily. All signs indicated that the Par- ty and its members intended to ignore, the law and see what the government would do about it. Some federal officials have esti- mated it would take three or four years to thrash out the constitu- tionality of the law in the courts. Officials emphasized that 'al- though the drive was launched un- i der provisions of the anti-subver- sives ,law, it is entirely separate -Courtesy UN Headquarters UNITED NATIONS' POWER LOCKS ATOMIC WORLD * * * * UN To Celebrate Anniversary Today Five Historic Years Recalled Efy WENDY OWEN Five-candle birthday cakes will illumine a world-wide celebration of the United Nation's fifth anni- versary today. Symbolically enough, each can- dle can represent one field of ac- complishment for the internation- al organization. THE UN has settled instances of armed aggression, supplied food to hungry Europeans, prepared a Declaration of Human Rights, found a possible way of circum- venting the veto power, and or- ganized numerous research com-. missions dedicated to the better- ment of mankind. Criticized sharply in 1945 for its lack of enforcement power, the UN has demonstrated its military strength in the Korean campaign, the power of its cease-fire orders in Palestine, Indonesia and Kashmir, and set- tled administrative disputes in Iran, Greece, 'Berlin and Syria- Lebanon. By 1946 the UN had established UNRRA, the Relief and Rehabili- tation Commission whose contri- butions to' the stomachs and kit- chens of the war-torn countries were measured in millions of dol- lars. In" 1947 subsidized grain and vegetables were 'being harvested in such quantities that UNRRA contributions of seedeand money were beginning 'to decline. SOCIOLOGISTS, political sci- entists, and assorted humanists have focked to the UN Commis- sions set up to investigate cultural aspects of all the United Nations. Offered backing by international sanction, they have been able to compile population statistics, in- vestigate educational methods and institutions, and check world health problems. The United States recently pro- posed that a two-thirds majority vote in the Assembly control the use of UN armed forces. This would result in lessening the pow- er of the veto, and giving the Gen- eral Assembly much more power. Five years ago, the Charter was signed in San Francisco, and now, with instantaneous translation and established diplomatic proce- dures and purposes, many experts hopefully predict a powerful Unit- ed Nations. s * Freedom Bell- Rings for UN' By DONNA HENDLEMAN Today, five years after the founding of the United Nations, solemn proclamations 'will mark the anniversary of the world or- ganization. The keynote will. be sounded by President Truman in a speech be- fore the UN General Assembly at Flushing Meadow, New York. Im- mediately following his speech, the "Freedom Bell" will ring out in the tower of the city hall in West NEW YORK-(JP)-President Truman's address to the United Nations General Assembly to- morrow will be carried on all radio and television networks. The speech is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m., EST. Berlin, and its pealing will be cop- ied by bells all over the world. At noon, the chimes of Burton Me- morial Tower will be heard' here as the University adds its voice to the general recognition. ENSHRINED in the "Freedom Bell" are the Crusade for Freedom Scrolls which circulated through- out the United States, including the University campus during the past few weeks. General Lucius D. Clay, U.S. chairman of the Cru- sade for Freedom drive, will make the formal dedication of the bell in Berlin.* There seems to be more cause for celebration on this UN birth- day than any since its founding,- for, according to several Univer- sity professors, the world organ- ization is in a more powerful po- sition now than ever before. Prof. Lawrence Preuss, of the political science department, Prof. Robert Angell, chairman of the sociology department, and Prof. W. Clark Trow of the School of Education all agreed that the Korean crisis has provided a test of United Nations strength which it has met with unexpectedly af- fective action. "The UN has shown a vitality hardly expected," Prof. Preuss said, "but it must be remembered that the temporary absence of the USSR from the Security Council provided its ability to take action on Korea." And Prof. Angell termed Rus- sia's absence "luck." "Neverthe- High Court To Review Red Trials Validity of Smith Act To Be Tested WASHINGTON -(P)- The Su- preme Court agreed yesterday to rule on the cases of 11 top Com- munist leaders convicted in New York of conspiracy to overthrow the government by force. THE HIGH tribunal specified that the review be limited to va- lidity of the 1940 Smith Act un- der which the Red leaders were convicted. That act makes it a crime to advocate or teach over- throw of the government by force and violence. By limiting the points to be reviewed, the court threw out a long list of complaints raised by t h e Communists concerning their trial. These included charges that trial judge Harold R. Medina showed "extreme hos- tility" to them, and allegations that the jury was not properly selected Arguments on the appeal were set for December 4. IN OTHER decisions today the Supreme Court: 1. By a 4 to 4 vote affirmed a lower court ruling that Congress may provide punishment for all persons who 'advise young men to refuse to register under the draft laws, even though the advice is based on religious beliefs. The ac- tion upheld an 18-month prison sentence given a Quaker teacher who told one of his students in Ohio to stand his ground in refus- ing to sign a draft card. 2. Agreed to rule whether states may prohibit strikes by employes of public utility companies. In the case before the court the CIO United Gas, Coke and Chemical workers are seeking to have Wis- consin's public utility anti-strike law declared invalid. Ten other states have similar laws. 3. Denied review in two cases growing out of Maryland's anti- subversive statute known as the Ober law. Both cases involved whether candidates for public of- fice must sign a special state loyal- ty oath. U.S. Assailed By Vishinsky LAKE SUCCESS-()-Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky warned yes- terday that "two parties," not just the United States, can set off the atomic bomb. He accused President Truman of advocating the old Hitler policy of "guns instead of butter." The Soviet Foreign Minister as- sailed President Truman's foreign policy in a two-hour speech before the 60-nation Political Committee of the UN Assembly. It came about 24 hours before the President is slated to address the UN Assembly Vishinsky is to be one of the UN dignitaries greeting the American chief executive. Calling once more for peace and for absolute prohibition of the atomic bomb, Vishinsky said: "This weapon is available not only to one party but also to the op- posing party. One cannot say, therefore, that its use will depend on the strategic plans of the one who attacks first.'

Sight, 68 Yanks Killed In One Massacre SEOUL --()-Korean Republi- can troops yesterday plunged on- ward toward the Manchurian bor- der, a scant 50 miles away, and a United States Eighth Army spokes- man said he expected no more fighting against organized Red re- sistance in the Korean war.

FLEEING fragments of the once- potent North Korean army which invaded South Korea four months ago were funneling into the Kang- gye pocket, a triangular area against the Manchurian border. The South Korean Sixth Divi- sion, closest of all to the Manchur- ian border, was driving in the di- rection of, Kanggye, where Red Premier Kim Il Sung was report- ed to be establishing a new com- mand headquarters. Noting heavy enemy traffic moving in that direction, the United States Fifth Air Force yesterday raided Kanggye with B-26 attack bombers. Result were not immediately known. Many prisoners that the Reds had taken months ago were es- caping-but not all. The Reds tar- ried long enough to massacre dome. Sixty-eight "Americans were ma- chinegunned to death near Sun- chon last Friday evening, and 500 South Koreans were reported bay- onetted and burned at Yonghung, near the east coast. The Republic of Korea troops northward dash was last reported tho miles. north of Huichon in the center of the upper Korean penin- sula. Two other South Korean drives also pushed steadily northward. The Capital Division on the. east coast reached Iwon, 18 miles northeast of newly-captured Puk- chong and 76 miles southeast of Manchuria. * * * ANOTHER spearhead of this di- vision, stabbing through wild,'. mountainous terrain 18 miles in- land, passed Cho, 63 miles south of the frontier. The Republican First Division' crossed the Chongchon River at Kunu, 18 miles north ofSunchon and 70 miles southeast of Man- churia. Stiffest recent Red resistance. was as old as Sunday, in actions involving Republican Eighth Di- vision forces and British and Aus- tralians 35 to 50 miles' north of Pyongyang. The enemy fled after four hours of rear-guard fighting that cost him 200 dead and 300 wounded. Navy planes of the carrier Boxer interrupted N o r t h Korean at- tempts to plant new. mines in the' Communist east coast port of Songjin yesterday and in rocket and machinegun attacks sank two mine-laying motor boats. Songjin is about 150 miles south of the Soviet boundary on the Sea of Japan. The Boxers' fighter bombers swept inland after the strike to damage a highway bridge near Iwon 39 miles southwest of Song- jin and a railroad bridge and tres- tle near Panchon 30 miles west of Iwon. UN To Judge- Korean Crimes TOKYO - () - General Mac- Arthur today approved legal pro- from action to be taken 'aarinst' Amnerican Redsq later Prjce, Wage Controls- Hit By Symington WASHINGTON - (A) - W. Stuart Symington, chairman of the National Securities Resources, Board, spoke out against immedi- ate price and wage curbs and asked. the country to give other inflation controls "a chance to work." It would seem "dangerous," he said, to put sweeping controls on prices and wages without first try- ing to handle the problem of in- flation with others-like higher taxes and curbs on credit buying. Meanwhile it was announced that the cost of living continued to move upward last month.
