India's Nehru Criticizes
U.S. Foreign Policy
Compiled by A1 Karr
From the Wires of the Associated Press
Prime Minister Nehru of India delivered a bristling broadcast
Wednesday, which widened the gulf between the nations that
want to welcome Red China into the U. N. and those who want
to brand her as an aggressor in Korea.
Nehru, highly critical of U. S. policy in the far east, called for
a conference of major powers and insisted the Chinese Commun
ists want to negotiate a peace.
India, like Britain, has recognized Peiping. The United States
has refused to do so and opposes plans to seat the Communist
Chinese in the United Nations, as one of the five veto-holding
powers in the place of Chiang Kai-Shek’s regime. The United
States, backed by the vote of both houses of congress, also wants
the U. N. to declare Peiping as aggressor, and to consider puni
tive mfeastfres against her.
France announced January 18 she, too, would vote to condemn Peiping
an aggressor.
While the United States believes a majority of the U. N. will vote for
the American resolution calling Red China an aggressor, so many na
tions may abstain from voting, or vote against the resolution, that the
U. N. voice will be weak and, in effect, indecisive.
Nehru blamed much of the present troubles of the world on those op
posing Peiping’s admission to the U. N.
He said there is a new Asia, and that the nations of the world must
recognize that as a fact. He attacked, as a major error, the sending of
U-N. troops across the 38th parallel of Korea.
rWarren Austin, chief U. S. delegate to the United Nations, is expected
to respond to Nehru with a new denunciation of furthe rappeals to get
the Red Chinese to agree to a cease-fire in Korea.
American Warplanes Fought...
fought and won another flashing jet air battle over Korea Wednesday.
Allied ground troops recaptured Yongwol, Tungsten mining town in
east central Korea.
Five hundred Korean women volunteers were spotted in a Red Korean
force south of Yongwol.
F-84 Thunderjets shot down one Russian-made MIG-15 and damaged
three others in a 15 minute dogfight over the Anju-Sinanju sector near
the Manchurian border.
Between 16 and' 20 Russian-type jets swooshed across the Yalu river
and attacked 16 U. S. F-84s. They came off second best as they did Tues
day, in the same area when three and possibly four MIGs were shot
down and three were damaged.
In neither fight was an American plane lost or damaged.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson...
. . . said today every possible effort is being made to preserve unity of
the free world in the United Nations over branding Communist China
an aggressor in Korea.
Making it clear he considers the situation to be too delicate, the secre
tary declined at a press conference to comment on:
1. British Prime Minister Attlee’s speech in Parliament Tuesday call
ing for a “wait and see’’ policy by the U. N. toward Red China, or,
2. Wednesday’s speech by Prime Minister Nehru of India criticizing
the United State’s condemnation of Communist China.
College of the Pacific...
. . . announced Wednesday that COP and the University of Oregon had
signed for two home-and-home football games.
The first will be played at the school’s new $300,000 stadium in Stock
ton next October 6; the second, at Eugene, November 1, 1952.
COP and Oregon met just once before—in Eugene in 1946. Oregon won
7 to 6.
Navy Pilots From The Philippine Sea...
. . . caught an estimated 1,500 enemy in a valley near Inchon Tuesday
and left the area a “burning graveyard,” a delayed dispatch from the
big carrier said.
A flight of Skyraiders hit the enemy-held valley with Napalm and
fragmentation bombs. .
Corsair fighter planes from the Philippine Sea also hit Red elements
threatening a U. N. column withdrawing from the Suwon area.
“We found the Reds along the road moving south on our forces and
went after them with napalm,” the flight leader reported. “We got
several direct hits and when we left, bodies were lying in the middle of
the road and on both sides. Their clothes were burning.”
Lane County Celebrated...
. . . it’s hundredth birthday Wednesday. An act of the territorial leg
islature on January 24, 1851, organized the county, the same day in which
Douglas County was created.
A Week's Rise of 1,064 Casualties...
... in the Korean war was reported Wednesday by the Defense depart
ment.
Total casualties are 37,000 Army; 519 Navy; 7,369 Marine Corps.; and
360 Air Force.
. . . ruled Wednesday that bicyclists on the highways don’t have to hit
for the ditch when a car or truck approaches them from behind.
“There is no statute of this state that requires a bicyclist to travel
near the right-hand edge of the pavement, nor is their any rule of the
common law to that effect,” the court declared.
The matter was brought up in regards to a bicyclists’ death decision
in a lower court. The Supreme Court ruled to re-hear the case.
It is Doubtful That Camp Adair...
will be reactivated as a military training center, U. S. Senato- Guy
Cordon said in a letter to a former state representative Wednesday.
In Eugene Wednesday...
... a 24-year-old driver rolled up the windows and locked the car doors
when police stopped him on a charge of violation of the basic rule.
Despite warnings, driver John Sutton, of Eugene, refused to open up
to .accept the citation.
S® police pried open a window, carried Sutton to their patrol car, book- t
ed him at headquarters for both disorderly conduct and violation of the
basic rule, and then put him in the city jail.
