Lie Asks Aid to Clear UN Employee Status
United Nations—U.P.)-United Nations Secretary-General Trygve Lie called on worldwide legal talent today to help clear the status of 12 American UN employees who were fired or suspended last night for refusing to tell whether they had Communist ties.
Mr. Lie said he was recruiting a panel of eminent jurists from several nations, including the United States, to help him formulate a permanent UN policy in such cases.
The question revolves around how a UN staff member's political relegation affects the government affects his standing as an international civil servant.
Mr. Lie fired one official, suspended another and placed 10 on compulsory leave with pay. All 12 were witnesses before the Senate internal security subcommittee at a recent hearing on possible Communist activity among U.S. employees in the United Nations.
UN legal experts said that, while suspension of the employees might meet approval in the United States, it raises broad general questions about policy toward the political views of UN personnel.
What of nationals of other countries who oppose their current regimes? Anti-Communist Czechs whose dismissal might be sought by the Prague Red regime, or Anti-Tito Yugoslavians, or Anti-Peronist Argentinians, or Latin American employees whose countries might undergo a revolution? Should they also be disqualified from holding UN jobs?
Mr. Lie announced that Stanley Graze, $6,000 a year executive secretary of the railway operations section in the technical assistance office, had been fired outright. He refused to answer whether he was "presently engaged in espionage activities against the United States."
Joel Gordon, $10.00 a year chief of the current trade analysis section of the department of economic affairs, was suspended. He refused to tell whether he was "now engaged in any subversive activities against the U.S. government."
Democrats Make Biennial Try To Arouse Lawrence Voters
By BOB STEWART
Lawrence got its taste of election-year Americana Wednesday night—the Democrats, Charley Rooney and company, came to town to reiterate a few charges about the usual Republican state administration in an attempt to arouse Lawrence and Douglas county voters.
But, to what avail?
Mr. Rooney himself indicated the tragedy of the whole affair when he kept alluding to "Douglas county, the heart of Republican territory."
The Democrats did their best. They barragged those attending the meeting with handshakes, slaps on the back, campaign buttons, bronze donkey pins, Stevenson comic books, windshield stickers, and an hour's worth of music and entertainment.
"Don't Let 'Em Take It Away," the Democrat's popular campaign song, had the crowd singing and clapping hands during the hour preceding the speeches. And the song theme carried over into the speeches of the various Democratic candidates when they commented on national-level politics.
There was tragedy, too, in the efforts of Mr. Rooney. He has toured the state point out alleged graft in state political and governmental machinery. He has named names, and quoted facts and figures at what he considered corruption in the Republican state government.
However, the tune was radically changed when they delved on state politics, and just the opposite theme was advocated. "How can we take it away?" was used as the theme in the song, which Democrats criticized to their haunts for every other year and shake their fists at the state GOP, tried it again.

Rv CLARKE KEYS
Because of the shortage of replacements, these sources said, some servicemen may have to serve longer in Korea than General Clark normally would keep them there and many men are being shifted from service units and other rear area outfits to the front lines.
Tokyo — (U.P.) The U.S. Defense department is urging Gen. Mark W. Clark to rotate front-line GI's faster, but has failed to give him the necessar replacement, informed sources said today.
Troop Shortage Slows Rotation
General Clark warned Washington several months ago of the need for more replacements, the informants said.
In Washington this week, U.S. Defense department officials said they had asked General Clark to rescind his order increasing "points" needed by front-line GIs to be rotated home from Korean duty.
They said General Clark had raised the October "rotation score" from 36 to 38 points, but added they had asked him to cut the point requirements for front-line combat troops back to 36.
General Clark responded Wednesday announcing that all frontline soldiers with 36 points would be rotated.

The answer will be known late
Tuesday night when the final
tabulations are in.
The Kansan election this year is not unique. Not only has it been done in the past, but many other colleges throughout the country are this year having straw votes to determine the college choice for President.
Most elections will be held shortly before the general election, but at least three already have been completed—with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower coming out the winner. At Syracuse university, Gen. Eisenhower got 897 votes to 700 for
Gov. Adlai Stevenson. At Iowa, the general won by an even greater margin, 1.083 to 615.
Nearly 12,000 students participated in the preferential election at the University of Michigan where Gen. Eisenhower piled up a 7,837 to 4,041 victory.
No registration is required for students wishing to vote in the coming campus election. Students must present the ID cards at the polling booths, however, in order to vote. The cards will be punched at the time of voting.
The polls will be open at four different locations on the campus from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday.
