In United Nations NEW YORK tfl The United States should stay in the United Nations, even if- that organization seats Red China, Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon believes. "If our allies make the serious mistake of voting Red China in," Morse said, "we should sit there and try to see to it that Red China lives up to her moral responsibil ity." . Morse added: "It is important to keep, the voice of America strong in the United Nations. Rath er than get out of the international organization, it is important that we stay in." He said an' apparent American tendency to "go it alone" already has reduced American prestige to its lowest point in 35 years.
