Rejects Soviet Union Move To Seat China in United Nations; Marines Start Offensive in Korea (EDITOR'S NOTE i When opinions r expressed In these eolnmne, (hey are those) of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts ana no necessarily si in is newspaper.; SECURITY COUNCIL: Rebuke Deals "So long as men are dying on the battlefield In defense of the United Nations this council will not wish to cheapen their suffering or sully their heroism by seeming to engage In the consideration of deals." With these words. Warren Austin, the American chief delegate to the United Nations, rejected the Russian move to link the question of Red China's entrance In the U. N. with the Korean war. It was a bitter exchange of words between Austin and Soviet delegate Jakob A. Malik, who became president of the security council No Communist Aug. 1. Malik wanted the question of admitting Red China to the U. N. the first order of business on the agenda, with the Korean situation second. The Russians were defeated by a vote of eight to one. No one believed the Russians had any formula for peace that was acceptable to the western powers when they ended their boycott of the security council. It soon became evident the Russians were interested in seating Red China and nothing else. Some believed Malik's maneuvers were only delaying tactics In the belief the North Koreans would quickly shove United Nation's troops off Korea and thus open the way for any demands the Soviet Union desired to make. d That belief became when the Russians demanded American troops be withdrawn from Korea, under threat of use of the veto, and seat the North Koreans in security council deliberations. On the other hand. It was just es evident that the United States would not agree to such a situation. The only outcome could be a deadlock, with the Russians resorting to the vote to kill anv action the majority might sanction.

KOREA: A Limited Offensive The Korean military picture appeared a little brighter for United Nations forces. A powerful American attack, the largest launched by the U.S. since the Korean war began, rolled slowly forward on the southern front. The North Korean troops, evidently completely aware that an attack was coming, took advantage of every spot of cover and battled U.S. marines for every foot of ground. In the FORMOSA: The Big Question In the minds of many international observers. Formosa had become the big question In the battle against communism. And it pre sented the first split in policy among the western powers. With the President's order to the U. S. seventh fleet to defend the island from Communist invasion, the split in policy first appeared. The split, or Russian trap as some are inclined to believe, became serious with the visit of General MacArthur to the island and the arrival of jet nlanes immediately after he returned to Japan. Many observers point out that U. S. policy is now clear: defend Formosa and the Nationalist government. This, they believe, may involve the United States in a conflict with Red China, a fight which would almost be impossible for America to win. At the same time, the British government has already recognized the Communist government of China. Several other western powers have been reported on the verge of recognition. This leaves the U. S. out on a limb and could involve the nation in a full fledged Asiatic war. That, students of the present world situation say, is exactly what the Soviet Union desires. If such a thing should happen Russia would, of course, materially aid the Chinese. It has been pointed out that the American decision to defend For-- , mosa is a direct act of aggression against Red China. It is a perfect excuse for the Reds to rush sev eral divisions to the aid of the Koreans. Some observers believe such a move Is already underway. Within hours after MacArthur returned to Japan? American jets landed on Formosa vanguard of, air units assigned to defend the island. A comment heard frequently aft er they landed was: "MacArthur certainly works fast." That may be, observers pointed out, but it could also mean that MacArthur has fallen into the Russian trap.

The coming generation, with minds and hearts reinforced with, such knowledge, is more powerful than an army. Our public school, our private schools and our schools conducted under religious auspices all must provide the climate and the soil for the roots and the fruits of freedom. So, good citizen, keep our system of education strong. o ST&GE5CREEfi) RADIO ic boys o o THE SCHOOLS are yours. You pay for them. There is much that you can do to improve them, and the need is urgent. Teachers enjoy or ought to enjoy freedom from social and political pressures; freedom to seek the eternal truths and to present these truths in a way that will stimulate young minds to look for truth and be able to recognize it when they find it. Teachers should be proud of their profession. They deserve the friend liness, sociability and respect accorded to doctors, lawyers and members of other professions. Teachers should be able to live their private lives as any other citizen lives his neither playing "Mrs. Grundy" to the community nor being dictated to by the social arbiters of the community, whoever they may be. Help to make your schools a force for national unity by protecting our children from bigotry and preju dice. It has been said, "America fears no enemy but ignorance." The generation which did not fight the war is trying to understand what happened, why it happened, and what can be done to straighten out the world. Help it to find out through even better, stronger, freer schools which bring to it the distilled truth wrested from the experience of all recorded time; which encourage the search for truth; and which foster the undeveloped talents which are America's greatest source of wealth. o o to a foreign dispatch, once said . . .

I'm June It's going to be a gorgeous ls. wedding, 3- - Minute Fiction don't you think? Have you seen the swimming pool yet?" Orion knew at once because of her easy informality she had mistaken him for one of the guests. And suddenly he decided to go on with the game. Hello," he said cheerfully. "It's nice to see you again. No, I haven't seen the pool. Is it new? Shall we go look at it together?" They went and looked at it In fact they swam in it. They stayed near the pool for almost two hours. At the end of that time Orion came to two decisions. First, be decided that the girl was the loveliest, most beautiful creature he'd ever known. Second, he decided be was a fool. At first this business of pretending to be a guest smacked of a lark. Now it was different. lie was falling In love. He went back to his room and changed into his tux. He'd have to go down and keep his eyes on things and avoid June Ingalls, if he could. He took up a station within ob servation distance of the table where the gifts were placed and acted as much like a guest as he knew how. June was not among the crowd that milled around the living room. He was convincing nimself that he was glad of this, when a Orion decided that the girl was the loveliest, most beautiful creature he'd ever known. feminine voice behind him said: "Why, Mr. Peters, you're standing here like a statue. I mean, shouldn't we dance, or something?" "I'm dreadfully sorry," he said. "I hurt my ankle in the pool this afternoon. I'm afraid dancing's out, for me." "Oh, how wretched! Is there anything I can do? I mean, oughtn't you to see a doctor, or something?" Orion's desperate JUST THEN fell on the table where lay the gifts. There was a man standing at one end talking to a woman. The woman had a fan, which she maneuvered skillfully. Behind its ruffled folds the man to whom she was talking suddenly darted out a hand, scooped up something on the table, and thrust it beneath the tails of his coat Orion came back to earth with a Jolt. He started toward the man, who was moving through the crowd toward the terrace door. He caught up with the fellow just as they got outside and fell into step beside him.
