Faces Big Test In Attempts To Free 11 American Airmen By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent The United Nations faces a big and possibly historic test in its attempt to free the 11 Am erican airmen sentenced to pris on terms by the Chinese Com munists. It has successfully withstood two comparable tests in past years. First came the Iranian crisis of 1946, then the Korean crisis of 1950. Had the UN failed in these two tests it might not remain today a 60-member world or ganization. In the present instance, the delegation to UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold of the task of trying to effect the release of the airmen is just a first move. Chance For Prestige If Hammarskjold succeeds in his mission to Peiping, if he can get Chinese Premier Chou En Lai to set a reasonable price for freeing the airmen, the pres tige of the UN will soar. If he fails, it will be up to the UN to take further action. It can not possibly let the issue drop. Incidentally, Hammarskjold will try to negotiate for the freeing of all UN military per sonnel still held in violation of the Korean armistice. There is an atmosphere of op timism at UN headquarters. The results of the Iranian and Korean tests certainly were good. Early in 1946, when the UN was less than seven months old, M S 5S.3fc. : .-.-we - ip fi 'V'lr It Mm ' ' l rtr-id J Iran complained to the UN that Russia was interfering in its internal affairs. Russian "and other Allied troops had occupied Iran dur ing World War II. The Russian troops were still there, and the Kremlin had no idea of pulling them out. Russia Gave In The dispute dragged on for months. Russia, under pressure, agreed to get its troops out. But it kept dragging its heels, and the UN. Security Council refus ed the Russian demand that it drop Iran's complaint. In the end the Russians did get out, angrily, and they stopped their meddling in Iran's affairs. It was a mo mentous victory for the infant UN. Then came the Communist at tack on South Korea in 195t). President Truman put United States forces into action. The United States took the issue to the UN. The United States de fense of South Korea became a UN defense. The United States of course, bore the brunt of the war throughout. But 15 coun tries sent fighting men to Korea. In the end, the Russians took the initiative in proposing an armistice. The Korean crisis, too, was a victory for the UN. But despite its victories, the UN still remains on trial. Locate oil stoves or heaters a safe distance from curtains or drapes.
