Korean Reversals Bring Uncertainty
To U.N. Workers, Schleicher Says
A feeling of uncertainty prevails
among office workers in the United
Nations at New York, according to
Charles P. Schleicher, professor of
political science, who has just re
turned from a trip to New York
and Washington, D.C.
“Their hopes for the future were
high during the middle phase of the
Korean war,” he told an Emerald
reporter. “Now they just don’t
know what will happen.”
Although these employees repre
sent a multitude of nationalities,
the majority of those to whom he
talked side with the United States
in the present crisis.
"They nearly all feel, as the U.S.
does, that the Communists are to
hlame for the Korean war,” Schlei
cher said.
There are few persons working in
the U.N. office from Iron Curtain
countries. It is difficult to recruit
workers from these countries, he
stated; those who are acceptable to
the U.N. are not allowed by their
givemment to leave their countries.
Schleicher also journeyed to
Washington, where he attended a
convention of the American Poli
tical Science Association. During
the conference, he participated in a
discussion panel at one of the sec
sions.
While in Washington, he renewed
old acquaintances in the State De
partment and talked with many of
the employees. He worked in the
central secretarial of the State De
partment during World War II.
Moral is higher than ever in the
department, he reported. This seems
to be mainly the result of changes
made from recommendations by the
Hoover Commission and from the
leadership of Secretary of State
Dean Acheson.
“Most of the State Department
personnel feel that Acheson is cour
ageous, capable, and honorable,”
Schleicher said. “His dismissal
(which has been strongly urged by
anti-administration forces in Cong
ress) would mean aloss of morale
in the State Department.” .Al
though the personnel there are
thick-skinned and used to such
changes, they feel that Acheson’s
removal would affect them.anyway.
Acheson is the first Secretary of
State in years who knows the de
partment from top to bottom, Sch
leicher continued. Having worked
there for many years, Acheson
knows how to utilize the staff to
best advantage.
Schleicher also talked to many

Reorganizes
Periodicals
Some changes in the location of
current periodicals has been made
by the University library, Mrs.
Wilhelmina Bevers, library secre
tary, said Friday.
The number of locations for cur
rent periodicals has been reduced
from four to three. Current num
bers of such magazines as Life,
Time, Harpers, Newsweek, Satur
day Evening Post, and Colliers will
now be found with social science
periodicals on the second level of
the new annex. These magazines
were formerly located in the gene
ral reference division in the main
building.
Current numbers of magazines
will now be found in the following
three locations: science periodicals
on the second floor of the main
building; social science and general
periodicals on the second floor of
the annex, and humanities on the
third level of the annex.
The location of bound volumes
of periodicals has not been chang
ed. Bound volumes on a definite
subject are shelved with books on
that subject. General periodical
volumes are still located on the
first stack deck.

people during his transcontinental
train trip. Most of them wondered
why the government had not put
on stringent economic controls im
mediately.
“It seems as though they have
all forgotten the old days, the office
of Price Administration,” he re
marked.
“Also, there was a general spirit
of pessimism among the people,”
he continued. “They feel that
chances are even that there will be
an all-out war this year. They also
feel that, if this is true, we are not
moving fast enough to meet the
situation.”
But, Schleicher pointed out, we
are in a dilemma; if we mobilize
rapidly, and there is no war, we
may weaken our economy and end
up weaker than before. On the other
hand, if we continue our present
“creeping mobilization,” and war
does break out this year, we will
be unprepared to meet it.
Schleicher added that, while
visiting in the State Department
he found things in much the same
state as they were when he worked
there during the war.
“I had the feeling that this is
where I came in before,” he re
marked.
Some judges’ words carry con
viction even though they may not
know what they’re talking about.
You won’t be running around in
circles if you take the time to
study all the angles.
Sooner or later a lot of people
discover what is meant by blood
relations. They bleed you.

You admire this kid, don’t you? He’s got
guts enough to stand up for his pitcher
against the whole opposing team.
But this kid has more than guts! He has
grasped one of our very oldest American
traditions—that men and women have the
right to be judged on the basis of their
individual merits. Being “foreign” is noth
ing against an individual—nor is his race—
nor is his religion.
It’s up to each of us to keep disunity
from our families, our community and our
country.
Make sure that you are not spreading
rumors against a race or a religion.
Speak up, wherever you are, against pre
judice, and work for better understanding.
Remember that’s being a good American
citizen.
