"Soviet Bloc Vetos
Lie Renomination
Compiled by John Barton
From the wires of Associated Press
Late Thursday Russia used the veto in the U.N. to block the
re-election of Trygve Lie whose position as Secretary-General
of the Assembly expires in February, 1951. The action was taken
in a closed door meeting of the Security Council. Nine countries
voted for Lie's re-election, Russia voted against, and Nationalist
China abstained.
Almost immediately the Russian delegate, Jacob Malik nomi
nated Polish Foreign Minister Zybmunt Modzelewski, but he
was rejected. The Security Council then cleared the way for ex
tending Lie’s term by submitting the question to the General
Assembly.
Under the charter, the Assembly should have a recommenda
tion from the Council. The Assembly then decides the length of
term. Lie was elected at the first meeting of the UN in London
in 1946, and his term set at five years. Some delegates have advo
cated making Lie’s term eight years, which would mean an ex
tension of three years beyond next February.
In England...
... Anthony Eden, number two man of the Conservatives, told a meet
ing of his party that Labor was slow in rearming and said the proposal
fr- to send one new division into Europe was not enough. During the meet
1 ing the party passed unanimously a resolution calling for close co-opera
tion with U. S. in Western Europe. It also approved U.N. armed action in
Korea and condemned the government for going ahead with State owner
ship of the steel industry during a time of rearmament.
Also in England, Home Secretary J. Chuter Ede announced that the
government plans to enlist a Civil Defense Force of about 800,000 within
a few months. 16,000,000 persons in Britain mostly over 30 years old are
eligible.
By nationalizing the coal industry, Britain will have to start spending
almost $10,600,000 more a year, due to pay increases ordered Thursday.
The order will effect 400,000 “lower paid” coal miners, both surface and
underground workers.
The Veracruz Hurricane...
. .. which hit this Mexican area Wednesday, is estimated to have done
over $1,000,000 damage. No deaths were reported, but two children were
slightly injured. The greatest damage was on banana plantations and
farms in the coast area, where much of the crop may be lost. In addition
some 20 boats in the harbor were either sunk or driven ashore.
Crusade for Freedom...
. . . scrolls are being turned in all over the country, after which they
will be sent to Berlin, where they will be placed in the Freedom Shrine.
The event will be held during a United Nations celebration on October 24.
A report from Ohio indicates that well over a million persons have signed
the scrolls in that state.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation. ..
. . . has a new chairman today. Elmer Harber, Oklahoma banker, and
Democrat, emerged as head of the re-vamped five man board, which
found former Chairman Harley Hise (Democrat), and Harvey Gunder
son (Republican) ousted.
Harber takes over the important and powerful board at an important
moment, when it is being geared to furnish a spark to the mobilization
effort by providing cash for expansion of defense production.
Port Neches, Texas...
. . . saw the first reactivation of wartime rubber industry since World
War II Thursday. The city’s all-purpose synthetic rubber plant began 20
days ahead of schedule. The United States Rubber Company modernized
the plant under the government’s rubber expansion program. The in
stallation will now produce more than 72,000 long tons. It was designed
to produce 60,000.
^ A Teaching Fellow.. .
... at the University of Michigan admitted Thursday to setting two
fires at the University last June. The arsonist, Robert H. Stacy, 30, ad
mitted touching off a blaze in Alumni Memorial Hall, and also one in
Haven Hall a few hours earlier. A lead on the origin of the fires came
when a young lady, who had spurned Stacy’s attentions, told of his brag
ging of the arson last summer. Since filing his confession police in Ann
Arbor said that Stacy had twice tried to take his life.
Canadian Troops...
... the first of a large force destined for U.N. service will arrive in Fort
Lewis, Wash, today. An advance group preceeded the group arriving to
day, but they were for purposes of setting up the cantp.
The unit represents every group in the Canadian Army Special Force
(CAPS), including infantry, artillery, armored engineer, signal, medical,
electrical and mechanical engineers, and provost corps. The troops will
wear the special Canadian-United Nations field patch, which is a red and
gold shield.
Oregon Lumbering...
... is still the number one industry of the state. Close behind was Ag
riculture, followed by the tourist industry. In figures just released the
cash income from Oregon’s forests last year hit an all-time high of $729,
135,000, exceeding the 1948 figure by $22,000,000. Arthur W. Priaulux,
public relations director of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association,
said the total figured at mill level was 170 per cent greater than the
state’s farm income.
The income from agriculture was placed at $363,500,000, while the
tourist industry had an income of $110,000,000.

He’s a
Campus A-man
The "A” stands for "Activities”—and he’s in a
lot of them. Plays first-string basketball. Repre
sents his class on the student council. Writes for
the school paper.
When it comes to campus doings, his major
is Service.
Telephone people are like that, too. They
believe in giving good telephone service—cour
teous, friendly, helpful service. And because they
believe it so strongly, their spirit of service shows
up in community affairs.
That’s why you’ll find telephone men and
women working on charity drives, joining service
clubs, leading Scout troops.
Both at work and at home, telephone people
try to help out wherever there is a need—and
enjoy' doing itj
