UN Committee Rejects Russian Peace Plan
United Nations, N. Y. —(U.P.) The United Nations political committee threw out Russia's Korean peace resolution today and added one more vote to its overwhelming majority for India's compromise plan.
Lebanon, absent when the committee balloted on the Indian plan last night, today asked that its vote
be recorded as favoring the Indian man. That made the final official count on India's resolution 54-5. Only the Soviet bloc—Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Byelo-Russia and the Ukraine—voted against it and Nationalist China abstained because parts of the measure gave cognizance to the Chinese Communist regime.
Despite the landslide vote for the Indian measure, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky insisted that the committee vote today on Russia's plan. The committee rejected it. 41-5, with 12 abstentions.
Once again, only the Soviet bloc rallied behind Russia, Argentina joined the Arab-Asian bloc in abstaining. The Philippines bolted the bloc to vote against the measure and Yemen was absent.
The Russian resolution would have had the General Assembly establish a Communist-packed commission for "the peaceful settlement of the Korean question," the unification of Korea "by the Koreans themselves" and the repatriation of all prisoners of war, regardless of their desires.
The Indian plan now goes to the General Assembly—possibly tomorrow morning—for final approval.

southern Kansas A new storm front is approaching from the west, but forecasters said the center probably would strike the Dalakots, although Kansas would feel moderate effects tonight.
Wednesday will be cloudy with occasional rain in eastern and central Kansas, mixed with snow in the extreme northeast and north central portions.
No appreciable precipitation fell in Lawrence last night, according to C. J. Posey, volunteer weather observer.
Dingy fog hovered over eastern Kansas today, the west was cloudy and the central section was covered by traffic-snarling ice.
Spitting rain ended in the night, but low temperatures glazed the drizzle and melting snow in central Kansas. The highway patrol said roads were hazardous north and southwest of Topeka and west to Great Bend or Russell.

Ike Names Democrat to Cabinet Post
New York—(U.P.)—President-elect Eisenhower, having completed his cabinet by naming a Democratic trade unionist Secretary of Labor and choosing a manufacturer to be Secretary of Commerce, scheduled a conference today with one of the new appointees.
Gen. Eisenhower gave the labor post, in an unexpected move, to Martin P. Durkin, 58, president of the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada (AFL).
He awarded the commerce job to Sinclair Weeks, 59, of Boston, chairman of the Republican National Finance committee since 1949.
The appointments were announced late yesterday by Arthur H. Vandenberg Jr., Eisenhower's secretary. Mr. Vandenberg also had appointed Walter Williams of Seattle undersecretary of commerce.
Mr. Weeks, who served briefly as U. S. Senator from Massachusetts during World War II and campaigned actively for Gen. Eisenhower, was one of two visitors who Vandenberg said would visit the President - elect's Morningside Heights residence today. The other was George M. Humphrey, who will become Secretary of the Treasury
The appointment of Mr. Durkin was a surprise because the Chicago labor leader has been a lifelong Democrat. He voted for Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson in the recent election.
Mr. Durkin said in Washington his nomination was "quite a surprise" and that he may find it necessary to become a Republican "now that I'm in the cabinet."
He had served a similar capacity in state government, as Illinois' director of labor, under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Mr. Durkin, who began his union career as a steamfitter's apprentice, said last night he believed Gen. Eisenhower wanted to erase sections of the Taft-Hartley law which may be "working fundamental labor hardships."
He said in an interview today he
The selection of Mr. Weeks as commerce secretary had been anticipated, as he had been a prominent figure in business and a brilliant strategist in state and national Republican affairs.
He said he would take steps to arrange a meeting between Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, co-author of the labor law, and major union leaders to discuss revision of the legislation.

would attempt to play the role of peacemaker between the new administration and organized labor.
He said last night he would draw on his experience as head of six large corporations and a bank to "stimulate the development of industry," transportation and commerce."
Mr. Williams, who will work under him, was voted Seattle's most useful citizen in 1946. He is a director of the International YMCA and of the Paramount Fire Insurance company and is a member of the national board of directors of the American Association for the United Nations.
