Gtise To Action in CCorean Conflict
Proved Acid Test for United Nations
Editor's note: Thi is the second in
a series ol three on the United Nations.
By BRUCE W. MUNN
United Press Correspondent
Korea brought the acid test for
the United Nations and the fledg
ling world organization, rising
to meet the challenge of aggres
sion, avoided the pitfall of inac
tion that doomed the League of
Nations.
June 27, 1950, is the red letter
date in the record of the United
Nations, now observing its 10th
anniversary, for on that date
the Security Council voted the
military sanctions to fight Com
munist aggression in what start
ed as a "police action" and be
came the bloody Korean war.
League Lost Prestige
The old League of Nations had
been confronted with similar de
cisions. And although it did
expel Russia in a wrist slapping
action for its 1939 invasion of
Finland, it stood by helplessly
when Mussolini invaded Ethi
opia and when Japan seized
Manchuria from China.
It never recovered its prestige
after the Ethiopian invasion and
the Mukden incident. ,
Sixteen countries, plus the
Republic of Korea, provided mil
itary forces for the first modern
example "of collective security
against aggression. In all, 42
member countries and four non-
members offered support for the
Korean effort.
The criticism is valid that the
Korean war was fought with
overwhelming preponderance in
manpower and money by the
United States and that President
Truman acted two hours in ad
vance of the Security Council in
ordering military aid to South
Korea.
But the material efforts of the
United Nations, by Washington's
admission, saved the United
States at least two divisions of
troops and billions of dollars of
expenditures and enabled the
Korean conflict to be fought with
the moral weight of the civilized
world on the U. N. side.
Russia, in one of history's
classic miscalculations, made it
easy for the United Nations to
act in Korea. The Russians had
walked out o f the Security Coun
cil in January, 1950, in protest
of the refusal to oust Nationalist
China in favor of the Chinese
Communists.
But most nations and Russia,
of course, made no military con
tribution to the armed forces that
fought in Korea, The Commu
nists and the Western powers
never have been able to agree on
the composition of the -armed
force prvided in the charter to
maintain international peace and
security.
There is a Military Staff Com
mittee, set up to supervise the
armed strength of the United
Nations, which meets for five or
10 minutes each month to rotate
its chairmen, but which has no
power since it has no men.
And therein, in the opinion of
most observers, lies the out
standing failure, or lack of suc
cess, of the United Nations.
Founded in the closing days of
World War II, when Russia and
County Polio Chapter
Reelects All Officers
All officers of the Jackson
county chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis were reelected at the annual
meeting of the group, held last
night at the Medford hotel.
Reelected were Harry Chip
man, chairman; Dick Woodcock,
vice chairman; Mrs. Moore Ham
ilton, secretary, and Mrs. Lewis
Ulrich, treasurer.
Chipman said that all commit
teemen would be reappointed.
They are the medical advisory
committee, Dr. A. E. Merkel,
chairman, Dr. William Miller
and Dr. Ralph Thompson; ad
visory nurse, Miss Dorothy Col
lard, women's activities, Mrs. El
wood Hedberg; education, Mrs.
Ray Frisbie, and publicity, John
Duffy.
the Western powers were sweep
ing up Hitler's Germany, the
United Nations was based on the
theory the big powers would con
tinue to cooperate closely.
It became apparent in the first
meetings in London in 1946 that
such unanimity did not exist and
the situation has worsened to the
extent that even the Western
powers cannot agree on which is
the fifth of the big five Nation
alist or Communist China.
Even so, the first 10 years of
the United Nations look pretty
rewarding on balance.

Portland Council Eyes Pinball Law
Portland (U.R) The Port
land city council yesterday took
steps to quash attempts to by
pass the city's anti-pinball ord
inance. City Commissioner Stanley
Earl requested the drafting of
an ordinance to ban all such de
vices, whether or not they are
coin-operated. Commissioner Or-
mond Bean said he would co
sponsor the ordinance.
The move was in answer to
pinball operators' claims that the
city law specifically banned only
coin-in-the-slot devices, and not
machines without the feature.
A hearing on the issue is slat
ed in Circuit Court Monday.
