Today's iA question:.
What shall we do If, In splto of
'nil tho opposition we are itlila lu

United Ntttlnna?
. Senator Dill Knowland, Ropubll
dun louder In the so-called upper

OUT nnd intlmiiles Unit If commu.
nlat China crashes the U.N. gates
he may renin" his senate majority

movement In congross to luxe ut
out.
Benstor Lyndon Johnson of Tex

ate, Indlt'ntea that he more or lens
agrees with Benntor Knowland.
That la to aay:
If the real of the kids won't play
our way, we'll pick up our toyi
and go home.
president Elsenhower any at
hl press conference Una morning
that he la strongly opposed to ad
mitting red China to the U.N. but
adda that there ahould be Careful
aludy of propoaala to pull the
United Stales out of U.N. In the
vent that Uie Chinese reds ARE
sealed.
Ike, I'd aay, Is talking hard
common sense. We're already un
popular enough IhrouKhout the
world. II we lake a 1 1 c a in g in
United Nations snd PICK UP OUR
TOYS AND WALK OUT BKCAUHH
THE RKWT Of THE KIDH WON'T
PLAY LIKE WE WANT TO PLAY
we'll be still more unpopular.
That would amount to playing
the communist game.
We've made PLENTY of mil
takca throughout the world. Let's
not now make the prise mistake
of acting like a spoiled brat.
Down In Carlabad, New Mexico.
there's a gal who owns a 838.000
home that Includes a garage with
an apartment In It. It appears that
in me aeetia' 10 property m nor
neighborhood, Including her prop
erty, there ts a covenant that for
bids renting apartment In ga-
rascs.
A year pr so ago, she defied the
covenant, rented the apartment In
her garage and when the nelghbora
complained she told litem what
they could do, Tncy lnvoxca mo
lsw and she waa luted and refused
to pay Iter fine and was sent to
tall and has been were ever since
Interviewed this morning by a
local reporter she secured stoutly!
"I'm not going to pay that line be
cause I don t think, I owe It. It s
my garage and I ought to be able
to do wbat I please with It.
One can't help admiring her
punk, but Just the same most of
lis would hate to live In the same
neighborhood with her.
And
In Auburn, N.Y., this morning a
woman walked Into a five-end-dime
store and bought a hinder
chief priced at ten cents, In pay
ment therefore ahe preferred a
strange . coin. The aales girl aald
ahed' get Into trouble with her boss
If ahe toot the tunny money and
asked the customer wouldn't ahe
pleaao give her either a dime or
ten pennies. The woman blew her
top, supped the strange com down
on the counter, took the kerchief
and sailed majestically out of the
(tore.
Later the coin wan Identified is
a 92.50 OOLD PIECE.

And Russia was poised for a pos

President
Opposed To
Red Request
By JACK BELL '
WASHINGTON m President
Elsenhower delivered a scorching
denunciation of Red China Wednes- i
day and said he Is unalterably op
posed to admitting tha Pelpuig
regime to the United Nations. .
At Uie same time, however, ha
told his news conference Uiat pro
posals to pull the United States out
of the U.N., if the Reds should get
in, need very careful study. Ha
said he is not ready to aay that
course should be taken.
Elsenhower expressed doubt
that Congress would give serious
consideration to Uie passage ' of -legislation
for an automatic U.S.
pull-out. ,
Shortly after the President
stated his views Ben. Knowland of
California, chief sponsor of that
proposal, told an informal news -conference
Congress probably will
go along with Uie president and
wait until after the U.N. decldea
on Uie Chinese Communist bid
before acting to withdraw Ameri
can funds and representatives.
SWIFT ACTION
He said he has no doubt, how-
over, that Congress will act swift
ly to take the United States out
of the U.N. if Peiping delegates
are seated in Uie international or
ganization. '
"There is no doubt in my mind
that In that unhappy event that
such a grave crisis arose, the
leadership of both parties and the
committees would be consulted im
mediately and the decision
msde on what action to take to re
call American representatives,"
Knowland said. '
fa the meantime, he predicted
that Congress will make a policy
statement against admission of the
Chinese Communists to the U.N.
"stronger than' any it Baa made
in the past."
IKE PRAISED )
Knowland praised ' Eisenhower's
criticism of the Peiping- govern-
ment as one of "no equivocation, j
no reservations and no pulling the
punches." '
"I couldn't ask for a atronger
statement of the moral Indigna
tion of this country against sug
gestions that the Chlneae Com
munists be admitted to the UJ.."
he aald. '
Commenting that the Chinese
Communists are even now at war
with the U.N.. the President asked:
How could the United States, as
aelf-respactlng nation, aay that the :
Reds -should be admitted to the
world organisation? , ..' ;i
NEWS MEETING " f
A few hours ahead of the Presi
dent's meeting with newsmen,
Knowland had expressed hope
that Eisenhower would promise to
recall Congress to deal with the
situaUon that would arise if the
U.N. should admit the Chinese
Communists. . - ,
Knowland hinted that such ' a
pledge might forestall a move in
Congress for automatic withdraw
al legislation. Eisenhower was not
asked about Knowland'g , latest
view. , . - v
French Plan

PARIS uT Premier Pierre
Mendes-France said Wednesday he
will ask the National Assembly to
approve the 'sending of draftees
to reinforce French forces In Indo
china if the Geneva negotiations
end in failure.
The Premier also told the law
makers he would be leaving soon
to take personal charge ot the .
French delegation at Geneva.
"I have already said that the
reasons to hope for a favorable
and honorable outcome are pres
ent," he declared. "That is still
my opinion today.'-
The Premier told the Assembly
there would be no means ot as
suring the safety of . French
soldiers already In Indochina If
conscripts were not sent.
