STARS No Glamour Hunting Man, Even If He Killed Officer The thrilling story of man's conquest of outer space is brought to you in 24 dra matic, story-strips. Watch for this exciting series PENTICTON, B.C. (API There's no glamour in hunting a man even if he is a suspected killer and the attempted murderer of a Mountie. Most of the time is spent won dering what he's thinking up there in the hills as the moon comes up over tne eastern mountains and dapples the peach and ap ple orchards. Is he as tngnienea we are walking through tne trees approaching every shadow with caution, turning at every rustle of the leaves? There's fatigue, too. Especially for the policemen who have worked the clock round for days with only coftee and sandwiches for nourishment. And there s frus tration in knowing that during the night you could walk within six feet of a hidden man and never see him. For the Mounties searching for Donald G. Stevens, Alias John N. Morrison, this great manhunt in the heart of British Columbia's fruit growing district has been a phenomenal task. Broad benches of flat land sit on top of the first rise from the shores of Okanagan Lake. Every foot is covered with fruit trees, all in full leaf and bearing bump er crops of fruit. The second bench is the same. Behind this second rise brown hills, well dotted with fir trees provide the ravines and hollows and cover any hunted man could desire. A man could live and hide here for weeks without being seen by human eye. In the scattered homes and in the town of West Summerland the people have been afraid for week. Many people haven't slept at night since the manhunt start ed. Elderly people and mothers with young children keep all night vigils snatching whatever sleep they can during the day. The whole southern end of the valley is afraid, because they Editor's Note What is the United Nations General Assem bly? How does it function? What are its powers? What is its role in the current Middle East crisis? Here in simple terms are the answers to these and other questions that may arise in con nection with the emergency ses sion of the assembly. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) The United Nations General As sembly, about to be given the task of solving the Middle East's problems, is a unique parliament that rules by moral force. Unlike a summit meeting of heads of government, first sug gested to tackle the Middle bast crisis, it commands no divisions to carry out its decisions. Unlike the Security Council, where Russia's veto blocked Mid- die East action, it cannot issue orders nor call upon its members to provide troops to enforce them The General Assembly," the U. N. charter says, "may discuss any questions or any matters within the scope of the present charter. . .and may mane recom mendations to the members of the United Nations or to the Security Council or to both on any such questions or matters. Nevertheless, the assembly, lim- ited to the power of making mere recommendations, has proved it self a formidable force for keep ing or restoring peace in situa tions where the veto-ridden Secur ity Council could do nothing. Each of the U.N.'s 81 members has one vote in the assembly. Its decisions on any but purely pro cedural matters are taken by a two-thirds vote. There is no veto, that power being reserved to the Big Five members in the Security Council. This means that with all mem bers voting 54 votes is required to! carry any resolution put before the Assembly. But U. N. members are not re quired to cast simple "yes" or no votes. They have also the privilege of registering an absten tion. Such abstainers are not counted in the overall vote, and thus each abstention lowers the to tal required for a two-thirds vote. The United States hesitated be fore taking the Middle East ques tion to the General Assembly With the nine-vote Soviet bloc against it and many of the 28-na- tion Afro-Asian, group opposed to the landing of American troops in Lebanon and British forces in Jor dan, qualified observers frankly doubted that a two-thirds vote could be mustered for any West ern measure put before the as sembly. By the same token, however, it appeared impossible for Russia to gain a two-thirds vote for any pro posal it might have. The result appeared likely to be a stand-off with the only harvest at first glance seeming to be propaganda benefits reaped from the rostrum. But the words spoken from the rostrum oftert go to form a weight of public opinion which has been known to sway the policy of gov ernmentseven of Soviet Russia. War would have been killed by Proceedings in the assembly arc Russia s Security Council veto, ex. on the formal side. Delegates have "P Kussla wa? injudiciously no microphones on the long tables ' coiiiicu m inn w, at which they sit in their golden sided hall. They must go to the rostrum at the front of the igloo shaped theater to make even a minor observation. Their words are simultaneously translated into the five official U.N. languages tngusn, trench, Russian. Spanish and Chinese through headsets at each delegate's place. un a nign dais above the speak ers rostrum sit the three men who run the assembly.

Five dele gates sit with five alternates or advisers ranged behind them. Some countries have many less than the maximum of 10 on the floor at one time. The assembly's prestige in war and-peace questions received a big boost in 1950. Then, realizing that the U.

That resolution provides that whenever the Security Council cannot act because of disagree ment of the five permanent mem bers, a vote of any seven council members can order an emergency session of the assembly, which "shall" be called within 24 hours. That is the procedure being used to transfer the current Middle East turmoil from the council to the assembly. Without it, the assembly is strictly forbidden by the charter to discuss any dispute which is before the council. With it, the assembly in 1958 condemned Russia's brutal supres sion of the Hungarian revolt and established the U. N.
