Austin Tells UN
Wu Lies, Distorts
LAKE SUCCESS -()- The
Chinese Communists are chal-
lenging two-thirds of the world,
the United States declared yester-
day, and the United Nations must
show it will not submit to threats
nor tolerate military actions
against the UN.
Warren R. Austin, top Ameri-
can delegate, said Peiping's re-
presentative here had lied and
distorted the facts in a defiance
which must be answered by speedy
action to stop the spread of war
in Asia.
SHARPLY ANSWERING the
long attack on the U.S. Tuesday
by Wu Hsiu-Chuan, Peiping's re-
presentative, Austin said he de-
nied categorically Wu's charges
that the U.S. and UN commit-
ted aggression in Korea.
."In the course of his speech,"
Austin told a grave-faced coun-
cil, "General Wu contrived to
challenge two-thirds of the
world, defy the United Nations,
and dismay the friends of China.
Glorifying peace, he sounded
threatening. Invited here to
give information and shed light,
he gave only distortions, sland-
ers, half-truths, and outright
lies, some big, some small.
# "General Wu went very far
yesterday to show that his hand
is against all men's. Let him give
heed lest he go home from this
place with all men's hands against
him."
r a r
AUSTIN SAID once niore that
the United States and the UN
have not committed aggression
in Korea, and are not threaten-
ing China.
He then called on the Coun-
cil to vote speedily-perhaps to-
morrow-on a six-power resolu-
tion which ,cals on Peiping to
pull its soldiers out of Korea
quickly and assures Peiping
that China's legitimate inter-
ests will be protected.
Some delegates were discussing
a time table calling for a vote
on the resolution tomorrow. The'
Soviet Union is expected to veto
the proposal.
With that veto, the Western
delegates would appeal to the
General Assembly Friday. They
hoped for quick debate in the As-
sembly and perhaps a decision for
collective action by the weekend.
After Austin spoke, Jacob A.
Malik launched into a Russian
attack of more than an hour
on the United States' role in the
Far East. He said Turkish and
Philippine forces fighting in the '
UN army in Korea are vassals
of the United States.
Malik said Austin had shed
"crocodile tears" about sons dy-
ing in Korea.
Estep Predicts
Court Okay for
tMeCarran Act
Prof. Samuel Estep of the Law
School told a meeting of Students
for Democratic Action last night
that the courts would probably
find the McCarran Act consti-
tutional.
Prof. Estep asserted that when
the constitutionality of the act
is challenged, the most contro-i
versial aspects would be the de-
tention, registration and denat-
uralization provisions. The pre-
sent Supreme Court, he ventured,
would upheld all three provisions.
Those doubting the constitu-
tionality of the registration clause
could claim that registration of
Communists serves to deprive
them of freedom of speech, he
pointed out.
Registered Communists would
have to identify themselves as
such upon making speeches or
mailing literature, but because

Acheson Deces
Red Aggression
Warns U.S. Will Fight if Necessary;
Six-Point 'Strategy of Peace Outlined
WASHINGTON--(M)-Secretary of State Dean Acheson charged
last night that Communist aggression has put world peace in "un-
paralleled danger," and he said history shows the United States will
fight if it must to preserve freedom and justice.
"No one can guarantee that war will not come," Acheson said
in a crisis broadcast to the Nation and the world. "The present crisis
is extremely serious. Whether reason will prevail is only partly for
us to decide. We must hope and strive for the best while we prepare
for the worst."

Britain Asks
Big Power
Peace Talks
Bevin Seeks To
Avert World War
LONDON-(1')-Britain held out
to Communist China yesterday
the possibility of a political deal
in Korea to avert a third world
war.
In a broad statement of British
foreign policy, Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin also told the House
of Commons Britain is ready to
join with the United States and
France in any talks with Soviet
Russia which might ease exist -
ing tension between East and
West.
THE FIRST ESSENTIAL in
Korea, Bevin said, "is to stabilize
the military situation and then
to explore a political settlement.j
"I have been working on this
for some weeks and the military
development in the last few days
has not altered my opinion one
bit-it is on political lines in the
end that we must seek the solu-
tion," he said.
Britain has recognizd Commun-
ist China and has a charge d'af-
faires in Peiping, but full diplo-
matic relations have not been
established.
Referring to China's seat in the
UN, Bevin said, "Indeed, I believe
that some of the difficulties with
which we are now faced in the
Far East would have been avoid-'
ed if there had been these oppor-
tunities for mutual discussion of
problems which the membership
of international bodies affords."
Europe Angry
PARIS -()- Angry outbursts
against Gen. Douglas MacArthur
last night marked the reaction in
war-weary Western Europe to
Korean setbacks.
There was talk in official
French circles of informally sug-
gesting his replacement as UN
Supreme Commander.
Many newspapers and anony-
mous political critics protested
MacArthur acted too hastily
in launching his "end-the-war"
drive last Friday. They said he
should have waited until British
and French suggestions for a buf-
fer state on the Korean-Man-
churian border had been worked
out. '
A French spokesman said his
government felt MacArthur had
launched his offensive in order
to wreck negotiations by France
and Britain for a settlement of
the frontier issue with the Chin-
ese . Communists. The Chinese
Communist counterattack fol-
lowed.
It was reported here MacArthur
ignored the advice of the British
and French diplomats with a
statement that, once the U for-
ces were on the Yalu Rive, sep-
arating Manchuria and Korea, the
Chinese would negotiate peace-
fully.

night with his accusation that the

In an address delivered at 10

willfully violated the law by re-

THE BOARD has said that it is
not required to do so and that
common sense dictates that no
winner be certified until after the
recount, asked by former Gover-
nor Harry F. Kelly, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor.
Under an opinion from Attor-
ney General Stephen J. Roth, a
Democrat, Williams contends
that he is entitled to take office
June 1 until and unless a re-
count unseats him.
Roth told the board so today in
a second opinion, but the board
rejected his views.
Williams accused the Republi-
can board of "making up its own
rules as it goes along-one set of
rules for the Republicans and an-
other set of rules for the Demo-
crats."
Williams said that with war
threats facing the nation, the
state could not afford to have any
doubt about who its chief execu-

Postponed for Two Weeks
The Student /Legislature voted
last night to postpone for two
weeks final action on a proposed
clarification of the anti-discrim-

introduced the proposal to the

mittee- unless the organization
could prove to SAC that there was
"a substantial probability that the
clause would be eliminated in the
near future."
The new motion was intended
only to clarify, and not to modi-
fy, the intent of the anti-bias
motion which SL passed Nov. 15.
In that motion no written men-
tion was made of any extension
to the 1956 deadline.
The new proposal would also
place all campus organizations,
except church connected groups,
under SAC ruling. Previously only
fraternities had been mentioned.
The special committee had
worked for three days to formu-
late the proposal, after it was dis-
covered that the meaning of the
original motion was not clear to
many of the SL members.
The decision for postponement
came as time was running out
on the automatic 11:15 p.m. clo-
sure of the meeting.
In delaying action on the pro-
posal legislators also took into con-
sideration an SL Michigan Forum

tecture Auditorium. The debate

Excess Profits
Tax Rejected
WASHINGTON -- (P) - The
administration's $4,000,000,000 ex-
cess profits tax proposal was ten-
tatively rejected yesterday by the
House Ways and Means committee
but members failed to agree on a
substitute.
Yesterday's balloting represent-
ed a victory for Republicans oppos-
ing President Truman's plan to
slap a 75 per cent tax rate on cor-
porate earnings in excess of 75
per cent of the 1946-49 average.
But the Republicans, who h'ad
some Democratic support on seve-
ral test votes, couldn't hold their
strength to put over any alter-
nate system.

AT THE FRONT, Korea-(P)-
Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond said
today elements of three armies--
as many as 80,000 men - have
"suddenly confronted" United Na-
tions forces in Northeast Korea.
Meanwhile resistance stiffened
against Chinese Communist hordes
trying to swing in behind the 110,-
000-man UNarmy.
Earlier reports to the U.S.
Eighth Army yesterday indicated
Communist pressure had eased
sharply.
AMERICANS, Turks and Brit-
ish, defending an arc at the
crushed east flank of the UN line,
fought hard to protect three Unit-
ed States divisions and one South
Korean division retreating south-
ward across the Chongchon river.
The United States 24th and
Second divisions, at the west and
east ends of the line, were re-
ported across.
Near the center of the line, the
American 25th Division reported
it was continuing an "orderly
withdrawal under pressure." The
Republic of Korea First Division,
on the 25th's east flank, also still
was making crossings.

The Eighth Army's immediate
objective was to hold an are
running from Kunu east to Kae-
chon and southeast to Sinchang.
This would protect completion of
the river crossing by the Unit-
ed States 25th and the first
Korean Division.
Red pressure was reported
against all- three points of the
arc, It was not clear at Eighth
Army headquarters whether Kunu
still was in UN hands. Kunu, on
the south bank of the river, is
only 17 miles from Sinanju on the
west coast.
CHINESE FORCES yesterday
blocked the main supply route of
American forces in the Changjin
reservoir sector of northeast Kor-'
ea, it was announced. Elements
of two army regiments were cut
off.
An estimated three Chinese
regiments on the south side of
the huge power dam reservoir
grabbed control of the main
supply road leading to the Amer-
ican troops' area from Ham-
hung on the east coast.
Four, other Chinese regiments
cut oc elements of the 31st and
32nd regiments of the United
States Seventh Division. A spokes-
man at 10th corps headquarters
said the cut off was "only a tem-
porary thing."

Arraignment
Arraignment of alleged student
bookies Lee Setomer and Robert
McGuire before the circuit court
was yesterday postponed until
Saturday.
The arraignment had originally
been scheduled for today, but a
crowded court docket made the
change necessary.
How the two would plead con-
tinued to remain a mystery yes-
terday. Ann Arbor lawyer Louis
Burke, who has been retained to
represent the two, said he didn't
have "the slightest idea" what
their pleas would be.
