Soviets Campaign To Seat Red China
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UPI)—The Soviet Union launched a determined campaign today to seat Communist China in the 13th U.N. General Assembly session opening this afternoon. It hinted strongly it would bring up the Quemoy crisis as well.
The official Communist party organ Pravda and the Soviet government organ Izvestia today printed twin demands that the United Nations "expel the political corpse" of Nationalist China and seat Red China. Moscow dispatches reported.
The Soviets might bring up the question even before the election of a new Assembly president is settled. The tense Middle East situation was reflected in a presidential contest between Dr. Charles Malik, the pro-American, lameduck foreign minister of Lebanon, and Mohammed Ahmed Mahgoub, foreign minister of Sudan who is backed by the Arab league.
The Russians were backing Czechoslovakia's Jiri Nosek, but were expected to switch the support of the nine-nation Soviet bloc to Mahgoub. The other announced candidate was Yugoslav Foreign Minister Koca Popovic.
The Soviet demand was expected soon after outgoing president, Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, gavels the session to order after a
minute of silent meditation. That is when the question of credentials of the delegates is taken up as a matter of routine.
It generally had been expected the question of Communist China would come up later in the session. India has asked for a formal debate later, and most diplomats thought that in view of the Indian item Russia would not press the issue immediately.
But Izvestia said today that current events in the Far East "show with renewed vividness the extent of the abnormality of the existing situation" in which Red China is not a U.N. member.
"The unrealistic position of the U.S. Government, which still continues to prefer to turn a blind eye to the real situation in China, prevents the member states of the U.N. from adopting the only correct solution." Izvestia said.
Algerians Bomb French Army Camp
PARIS—(UPI)—Algerian extremists bombed an army camp outside of Marseille today and the French government came under mounting pressure to outlaw the Communist party.
A civilian worker was killed and five other persons—three soldiers and two civilians—were injured when the bomb went off near a parade ground at the Montfouron camp.
The bombing followed an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate French Information Minister Jacques Sousstelle in Paris yesterday.
Interior Minister Emile Pelletier accused the Reds of aiding the Algerian Rebels. He hinted at new moves to outlaw the largest Communist party in Western Europe.
Police carried out a new wave of arrests among Algerian suspects on the second day of stepped up
Professor Named To Genetics Group
Dr. J. A Weir, associate professor of zoology at the University, has been appointed a member of the committee on genetics of the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, in the division of Biology and Agriculture of the National Research Council. The appointment is for the year ending June 30, 1959.
Dr. Weir is attaining recognition as an international authority on the development of genetically pure stocks of laboratory animals. He will direct a Mammalian Genetics Center now under construction at KU. An anonymous gift to the KU Endowment Association is covering construction costs while the U.S. Public Health Service has made a $150,-000 grant for setting up the program that will assure preservation of trust stocks of special inbred lines of mice. These mice are used in research laboratories over the nation, particularly in cancer studies.
Professor Elected To Executive Council
Dr. Francis H. Heller, professor of political science at the University and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has been elected to a 2-year term on the executive council of the American Political Science Assn. Dr. Heller also has been named to the executive committee of Pi Sigma Alpha, national honorary society in political science.
The two honors were conferred upon Dr. Heller at the recent national meeting of the APSA in St. Louis, Mo.
violence throughout France. There were indications more stringent security measures would be ordered. An attempt was made to bomb a dockside factory in Le Havre but the explosive failed to go off properly and damage was slight.
Another sabotage attempt in Marseille was foiled early today when a guard at an oil depot spotted several Algerians on the grounds and routed them with a burst of rifle fire.
Army ROTC Adds 3 to Staff
