Roll Now 81 Members
BY the A,seeio'sd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.-Yemen
and Pakistan were accepted as
members of the United Nations to-
day with Afghanistan alone voting
against admission Of Pakistan at this
time. This increased the roll to 81
countries.
The newcomers both are Moslem
Asiatic countries, both are sworn
enemies Of zionism in Palestine, and
Pakistan is involved in bloody COM
munal strife with Hindu India.
Observers were expecting Pakistan

for intervention to stop Indian border
hostilities if a current move for
British mediation falls through.
Sixth Arab State in U. N.
Yemen, Red Sea Kingdom abut-
ting the British protectorate of Alden
on one side and Saudi Arabia on the
other, is the sixth Arab League state
to become a member of the U. N.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria
and Iraq are charter members. The
membership bid of the seventh
league state, Trans Jordan. has been
vetoed twice by Russia on the ground
that she is no more than a satellite
kingdom devoted to Britain's in
terests.
Both Yemen and Pakistan al
ready have made known their in
tention to support the Arab opposi-
ton to Jewish claims on Palestine.
Pakistan contended originally
that the charter membership of
British India should be split and
pass automatically to both the new
Hindu and Moslem dominions, but
Pakistan applied for membership
separately when 1t was decided that
the Dominion of India should in
herit the British seat.
Final Approval Today.
India supported the Pakistan
application, and both Pakistan and
Yemen were unanimously approx
ed last week by the Assembly's S.
nation Political Committee. The
same IS nations were called on
today to give final approval and seat
the two new Moslem delegations In
the Assembly Hall.
The members added last year to
the original 81 listed at San Fran-
cisco in 1945 we're Sweden, Afghan

Washington Restaurant Associa-
tion's food conservation program is
fully carried out. 1t will still be
part of the dinner as far as the bill
is concerned, however.
The group met last night at the
Washington Gas Light Co. audi
torium and decided to return to the
wartime practice in order to save
wheat. Many restaurants already
have put the program into operation
and others soon will follow, it was
stated. Meatless days were ruled
out as impractical"
Less Expensive Meats Offered.
Other conservation moves agreed
on included us of less expensive

punitive tax levied on that product.
II the restaurant buys uncolored
margarine and colors it before serv-

manufacturers" license fee. It
can avoid this by buying margarine
already colored by another manu-
facturer," but the price is 10 cents
a pound higher than for the uncol-
ored product.
The restaurant association al
ready Is on record for a drive to
get Congress to repeal this tax and
battle is likely on Capitol Hill
next year.
Coffee Costs Rising.
The nickel cup Of coffee, already
gone in some restaurants, is threat
ened in others, 1t was pointed out at
last nights meeting. Increased cost
OF sugar, cream, and labor were
blamed. Some restaurants are still
selling it for cents and charging
of loss to good will" while others
are selling it black for a nickel and
charging 2 or 3 cents extra for
those who want cream and sugar.
The national restaurant group is
meeting at the Mayf1ower today to
consider similar plans on a national
scale which will oe submitted to
the Citizens, Food Committee later
this week, according to Robert j.

Andrei Aleksandrovitch Zhdanov,
hero of the Battle of Leningrad,
has asked to be relieved of his
post as chairman of the council
Of the Union of the Supreme So
Wet, the Moscow radio said to-
night.
The reason for the request, the
broadcast said, was pressure OF
work connected with his main
duties"
Zhdanov is secretary of the cen
trail committee of the communist
party and has been a leading fig
ure in a postwar drive to purge
Soviet literature and art of ten
denotes to stray from their ldeo-
logical aims. He also is chairman
of the allied control commission
for Finland. y
The distinguished soldier, q
close friend of Prime Minister
Stain, is a member Of the pollt-
buro. the inner council of the Sc
Wet government, and several
times has been mentioned n west
ern newspaper speculation as
possible successor to Stain as
head of the government.
The post which Zhdanov is re,
linquishing is the leadership OF the
smaller of the two houses of Rus
sia's parliament.

TRAFFIC LIGHT
TROUBLE CITED
City Electrician Says Con-
troll Box Not Received
On Schedule

The failure of a control box 70
arrive on schedule was given as
the reason for the lack of synchro-
nization in the city's traffic light
system by City Electrician David
Sandlin, Jr. yesterday.
He said he was aware that the
traffic lights were not working to
the greatest extent of efficiency
but explained that as soon as the
trouble was discovered an emer-
gency order for a control box to
replace the one in use was placed.
So far the unit has not been re-
ceived, he said, but pointed out
that assurance have been receiv-
ed that the box will be shipped
shortly.
City Councilman James E. L.
Wade yesterday indicated that he
would ask the council at Fridays
special session to take under ad-
visement an improved traffic
light system. He said several mo
florists had called his attention to
the fact that the lights were work
ing in a way which prevented a
vehicle from moving through the
city in one direction without STOP
ping.

TRUCK LANE VOTE
SOUGHT BY GROUP
Seventh Street Residents
To Ask City Council
For Referendum

The suggestion that a city-wide
referendum be held to select a
truck route around Wilmington
will be offered the city council at
its meeting Friday morning.
This expression was voiced last
night at a meeting of more than
200 citizens at Hemenway School
who live on and adjacent to Sew
enth street, the newly proposed
truck route through the city.
Robert Strange, chairman CT the
meeting, said that it was not the
purpose of the meeting to have
the trucks rerouted on some other
city street, but to have this traffic
taken off all city streets.
"We congratulate the citizens OF
Third street, he said, "on being
relieved of this traffic. We won't
wish it off on any n else ,and
we hope they won't wish it on u.s."
He told the gathering that the
opposition - the State Highway

it's desire to have the truck traffic
move over Seventh street and he
asked each and every resident Of
the area to be on hand to fight
the proposition Friday morning.
Strange said the city council
would be informed that there are
two schools-Hemenway and Pea
body-in the vicinity of this pro-
posed street, five Negro churches
and two undertaking establish
ments.
A number of citizens in the
neighborhood, both white and Ne
gro, expressed their opposition to
having the traffic on Seventh
street.
A petition was circulated among
the audience, which was signed,
pointing out the dangers from
trucks which would travel that
street.
The petition said that the lives
and homes of all the residents
would be endangered due to fire
hazards which might arise at any
time from oil tankers traversing
