Protest Grows in UN Over Employe Purge
United Nations, N.Y.—(U.P.)—An international storm of major proportions appeared gathering today about Secretary-general Trygve Lie's purging the United Nations of employees subversive to the United States.
Indications were that the storm would not break until the General Assembly reconvenes next February after its Christmas vacation, at which time there was expected to be a concerted demand that the 60-nation group review the entire history of dismissals resulting from U.S. investigations.
Mr. Lie, meanwhile, stood on his right to hire and fire without consulting the Assembly and rejected India's demand that he halt his current housecleaning of Communist suspects until the Assembly has decided upon a new policy.
Mr. Lie has fired 19 suspected Americans, acting under the recommendation of an international panel of jurists that he should dismiss all American Communists as well as any employee refusing to testify about alleged Red activities or
Plans were completed Monday for a Diesel Operators institute, sponsored by University Extension, to be held here April 29-30-May 1.
Diesel Institute Set by Extension
Municipal power plants, pipeline companies, and other industries will send Diesel operators to the conference.
Edward J. McBride, professor of mechanical engineering; R. S. Tait, associate professor of mechanical engineering; Theodore Wagner, instructor of mechanical engineering, and George H. Brooks, assistant to the dean of Extension, were KU representatives at the meeting.
anyone the secretary-general believes is engaged in, or is likely to engage, activities deemed subversive by the U.S., now serving as host to the United Nations.
Mr. Lie has refused to fire 14 other Americans because he lacked evidence to back up adverse comments from the State department.
President Truman moved yesterday to strengthen Mr. Lie's hand by ordering the State and Justice departments to work with the Civil Service commission in ousting American Communists from the U.N.
No action was taken in the recent meeting between Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and Lawrence City Manager Jim Wigglesworth on the Lawrence airport problem, the chancellor said today.
No Action Taken At Airport Talk
Dr. Murphy said that he and Mr. Wigglesworth merely laid the groundwork for further discussion by making sure everyone understood the problem. He said that no results could be determined until after one or two more meetings with the city manager. No dates have been set for the conferences.
The Lawrence city commission took no further action in its regular meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The Lawrence city commission has suggested that the University assume the operation of the Lawrence airport, which is now being leased from the University by the city.
Washington—(U.P.)—Justice department sources said today the FBI has lined up several "surprise" witnesses to testify in the perjury trial of Far Eastern specialist Owen Lattimore.
While informants refused to identify any of the potential witnesses, they said some are from foreign countries, mainly in the Orient.
Lattimore, 52-year-old Johns Hopkins university professor and one-time state department consultant, was indicated by a federal grant jury yesterday on charges he lied seven times during his testimony last winter before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee. He promptly protested his innocence.
One count of the indictment charged Lattimore lied when he denied under oath he has ever been a promoter of communism or Communist interests. If convicted of all seven counts, he would be liable to a maximum penalty of 70 years in prison.
Witnesses Found for Lattimore Trial.
Dr. Detlev W. Bronk, president of Johns Hopkins university, announced that Lattimore would be given "leave of absence, with salary" from the university faculty "until a federal court passes on the charges."
Lattimore's arrangement was tentatively set for 10 a.m. Friday. But government attorneys said the date for his first appearance in court may be postponed to permit his attorneys—the famous firm of Arnold, Fortas & Porter—to file motions in his behalf.
Prosecutors conceded there wasn't a "ghost of a chance" that they could bring the case to trial before Attorney General-designate Herbert Brownell Jr. takes over the department for the Republicans on Jan. 20.
Lattimore, who conferred at length with his attorneys last night, indicated he will fight the charges all the way to the Supreme court if
