Trygve Lie
Fires Nine
Americans
Formal Warning
Given to 3,000
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-(AP)-
' UN Secretary General Trygve Lie
fired nine more American em-
ployees yesterday for refusing to
answer questions about alleged
subversive activities put to them
by the McCarran Committee.
He warned his 3,000 employees in
a formal statement that he would
take the same action in future
cases, as has been recommended
by a panel of three international
jurists.
YESTERDAY'S action brings to
18 the number sacked during 1952
for the refusals which the panel
k told Lie created a "climate of
suspicion." Assistant Secretary
General Byron Price was quoted
by the UN Staff Association as
saying he drew an inference of
guilt when employes refused to
answer.
The association, which is the
official recognized spokesmen
for Secretariat members, de-
nounced the firings as being
without sufficient cause and
said they endangered the whole
.Y future of the UN.
Sen. Alexander Wiley, (R-Wis.),
a member of the U.S.. delegation
and probable chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee in
the next Senate, was pleased with
the news.
* * *
IN A RELATED development,
Lie accepted the Resignaton of
Ruth .01 abeth Crawford, who told
the committee when she testified
that she had been a Communist
during the 1930s.
All those fired had permanent
UN contracts; the nine fired be-
fore were employed on a tem-
porary basis.
The nine who received the let-
ters were:
Frank C. Bancroft, an editor in
the Documents Division at $7,300
a year; Hope Dorothy Eldridge, a
populations statistics expert in the
Department of Economic Affairs
at $7,500; Jack S. Harris, research
on trusteeship matters at $9,000;
Julia Older Baiser, an editor in
the Documents Division at $7,300;
Jane M. Reed, library, $5,000;
Alexander Svenchansky, who pre-
pared news broadcasts to Russia
at $8,250; Joel Gordon, a $10,000 a
year expert on current trade anal-
ysis; Sydney Glassman, a $6,000
junior economist and Leon Elver-
son, $3,500 library clerk.
Fire Quenched
In Engine Lab
A State Highway Department
employee, Richard A. Pope, was
treated for burns at University
Hospital yesterday resulting from
a minor lab fire in the East En-
gineering Bldg.
Four Ann Arbor fire trucks
turned out to quench the blaze
which started when a flask of ben-
zol solvent exploded spreading the
flaming liquid over a portion of
the State Highway Department
lab located in the basement of the
building.
Department empolyees brought
the flames under control with fire

extinguishers by the time the fire
department arrived.
University and fire department
officials could report no serious
property damage with the excep-
tion of smoke disfiguration and
several burnt ele.trical connec-
tions.

U .S. Insists
State Take
Vote Retally
WASHINGTON - WP) - A Sen-
ate committee bluntly told the
Michigan Board of Canvassers
last night that "our request is1
your authority" to recount the
Moody-Potter senatorial contest.
That reply was sent after the
board refused the committee's re-
quest for a recount on the grounds
it had no authority under Michi-
gan law to make the tally.
The committee had asked that
the Senate ballots be recounted at
the same time it makes a new tal-
ly of the Michigan gubernatorial
contest. This is scheduled to start
Monday.z
* * .*
IN THE Senate race Republican
Rep. Charles E. Potter defeated
Democratic Sen. Blair Moody by1
46,000, votes. Democratic Gov. G.
Mennen Williams won over Re-
publican Fred M. Alger, Jr., in the
governor contest by 8,000 votes.
The Senate committee sug-t
gested to the state board that
the gubernatorial recount be
postponed, if necessary, "for a
day or two pending completion
of our cooperative arrange-
ments."
Handling the controversy here
is the subcommittee on privileges
and elections of the Senate rulest
committee. In a *telegram to D.
Hale Brake, acting chairman of
the Michigan canvassing board,
the subcommittee noted it was in-
vestigating charges made by Moo-
dy and Democratic State Chair-
man Neil J. Staebler of irregu-
larities in the senatorial voteE
count. The wire continued:
"It appears to use that your
state should be eager to cooper-
ate with us in the extension of our1
investigation by making the re-1
quested tally along with your gu-
bernatorial recount."

Furthermore, the Larries
would like to make up for their
defeat at the hand of Michigan
State last night.
With four veterans lost through
graduation and fourteen lettermen
returning to the Hill Street rink,
the Wolverines are in good shape
for the contest. Only center Ron
Martinson, victim of a broken leg,
will be out of action.

U. S. Literature
ProbableTopic
A group of interested students
will sponsor a private talk by
Howard Fast, a perennial contro-
versy in the academic freedom
scene, at 3 p.m. today in the Uni-
tarian Church.
The topic of Fast's speech has
not been announced but he sug-
gested to campus Young Progres-
sives, who originally petitioned to
hear the author, that he would
talk on the state of literature in
America.
YP MEMBERS were unable to
obtain Lecture Committee consid-
eration of Fast's talk since chair-
man of the committee, Prof. James
K. Pollock of the political science
department, has been in Wash-
ington and unable to arrange a
meeting.
If uninvited persons over-
crowd the 100-person capacity
of the Unitarian Church room,
the private talk will be can-
celled, Rev. Edward H. Red-
man warned.
Admission will be solely by in-
vitation prior to the meeting.
Young Progressives originally
planned to bring Fast to campus
in March or April. They revised
the speaking date when it was
learned that Fast would be in De-
troit this weekend.
Unitarian Student Group presi-
dent Blue Carstenson, Grad., told
The Daily yesterday that neither
his group nor any other Unitarian
organization was sponsoring Fast.
"Certain members of 'the Uni-
tarian Student Group will be on
hand to assist the Church but will
not be sponsoring the meeting,"
Carstenson pointed out.-

Three Day
Secret Visit

General Confers
With Army Men
By The Associated Press
President-elect Dwight D. Eis-
enhower completed his three-day
search for a "positive and definite"
victory formula in war-ravaged
Korea Friday night and flew to-
day to balmy Guam, where he
boarded the heavy cruiser Helena
for a six-day trip to Hawaii.
On his leisurely homeward jour-
ney, Eisenhower was expected to
devote most of his time to work-
ing on reports and data gathered
during his Korean mission.
EISENHOWER left the frozen
Korean war zone Friday'night and
arrived in Guam eight hours and
30 minutes later. It was just be-
fore dawn when his Constellation'.
completed its. 2,179-mile flight to
Guam.
The general went directly
from the airport to the cruiser.
Members of Eisenhower's staff
were expected to join him at- is-
land points en route to Pearl Har-
bor.
Eisenhower's plane carried an
aircraft commander, two top-flight
pilots and two crews for the flight
to Korea.
Eisenhower's secret journey be-
gan last Saturday at 5:30 a.m.
when he left his New York home
.to go to Mitchell Field. There two
air force constellations waited in
the darkness to take the General
to San Francisco.
WHILE IN Korea the President-
elect made a tour of combat units.
He was shocked at the conditions
under which the South Koreans
are fighting.
Eisenhower also met South
Korean president, Syngman
Rhee who presented the General
with a big silk Republic of Korea
flag.
Notes were exchanged in Seoul
between Eisenhower and Rhee af-
ter a farewell visit Friday. The
contents of the Rhee letter will
not be revealed, a spokesman said.
However, government sources
believed Rhee reiterated his re-
quest that the United Nations uni-
fy all of Korea, strengthen Korean
forces, drive the Chinese Commun-
ists out of Korea, and disband the
North Korean Army. There was
also thought to be a request for
more economic aid.
On at least one of these points,.
Eisenhower had made his position
known. Publicly he gave assur-
ances that the Korean Army will
be made "a lot bigger and better."

Like many Democrats, Sassa-
frass is not discouraged.
True, the picture is much dark-'
er for the party than it was last
fall when she and presidential
candidate Adlni Stevenson ex-

in Ypsilanti. However she is not
looking backward, she is looking
ahead.

HOW SASSAFRASS, a young
donkey living at the time in a
Democratic household felt when
the Ann Arbor Democratic Com-
mittee asked her to meet Steven-
son is not known, however if herj
current behavior is any indica-
tion, she took it all in her stride.
She now belongs to University
Prof. Joshua McClennen's chil-
dren Molly and Susan and in
spite of her party's setback has
become an enjoyable and lively
pet.
According to Prof. McClennen,
Saasafrass is inclined to be a
little on the stubborn side at
times and not too cooperative.
This is more than offset however
by her intelligence and her eco-
nomical style of living. Nor is
intelligence her only forte, she.

Work of NAACP
The Michigan League for

Dr. Leach, a Flint physician, will
speak on his work in the NAACP

as a race donkey. Prof. Mc-
Clennen claims that she makes
an excellent running mate and
has fine endurence.
Keeping a stiff upper ear, Sas-
safrass refuses to comment on the
state of national politics--however
sometimes in the early hours of'
morning in her small stable, she
can be heard braying wistfully.

Political Activity in CIO
By HARRY LUNN
Election of Walter Reuther as president of the CIO could con-
ceivably lead to greater political activity by the giant labor organi-
zation, but does not provide any concrete evidence that merger with
the rival AFL may be close at hand.
This was the opinion of local union officials and a University
expert on labor.

Tenor David Lloyd, who fias
been a success in every musical
field from oratorio to opera, has
sung more than 100 performances
from coast to coast in the .last
year.
James Pease, bass-baritone star
of the New York City Opera Com-
pany, is an American-trained
singer who has been a soloist with
many of the country's leading
symphony orchestras. Trained as
a lawyer, he switched to his chosen
field of singing after service with
the Air Force.
THE "MESSIAHI," a religious
work, has had many performances
throughout the civilized world
since Handel first offered it to the
public. The first audience was so
impressed with it that the people
rose from their seats at the sing-
ing of the "Hallehujah Chorus,"
and this tradition has continued
through the years.
Tickets for the performance are
on sale at the offices of the Uni-
versity Musical Society in Burton
