U.N. 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. :

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.
