The 53-vote approval was the
biggest majority ever gained by
the West on a major issue. Some
key delegates said this amounted
to a personal reputation Of So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky and his clustering tao
tics.
Mr.. Vishinsky threatened, ar
gued, cajoled, pleaded and used
all of his old oratorical tricks.
This was the third Assembly where
he has taken this role and some
delegates indicated they were tired
of Mr.. Vishinsky.
Name-calling was o character

2. China: The Assembly called
upon all nations to keep hands of

struggle and to respect China's
treaties. 1t was, in effect. defeat
for the Nationalists, since their
delegates had called for the United
Nations to condemn Russia for
backing the victorious Communist
armies of Moa Tze-tung. The As

Russia and Soviet satellites

ton calling on Albania and Bull

guerriellas and urged U. N. mem

vote was so to 6 with Yugoslavia

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The
Western powers gained support
against Russia in the 1949 United
Nations Assembly on the major
propositions Of world peace and
control Of atomic power.
But no let-up in the cold war
was evident at the end Of the 12-
week session. The grave and ur-
gent questions of atomic energy.
the Stain Tito row and the China
issue went unresolved along with
host Of old items.
On the credit side. the Assem-
bly, acted for the first time as
world legislature. It approved in
dependence for all Libya. former
premier colony in Mussolini's AZ
rican empire, by January /, 1852.
1t also approved a 10-year waiting
period for italian Somaliland, be-
fore independence, with Italy re-
turning there as trusteeship ad-
ministrator. It set up a committee
to study former italian Eritrea
and come UP with proposals at
the 1850 Assembly.
In rare unanimous vote, the
Assembly approved broad pro-
gram Of technical assistance to
under-developed countries, carry
ing out further the Point Four
project laid down by President
Truman last January in his in
augural address.
The Assembly started September
20 with expressed hopes it would
be q peace assembly," just as
the Paris session the year before
was the human rights" But
President Truman's disclosure
three days later that the Soviet
Union had cracked the secret of
the atom changed the whole tenor
Of the meeting. It never was the
same for the rest of the IL weeks.
Labored Long Over Atom.
Yugoslavia's election to the
Security Council over Czechoslo-
vakia further strained the peace.
Nationalist China's charges
against the Soviet Union so an
gered the Russians they refused
to take part in debate on the case.
The delegates labored long over
the atom. Assembly President
Carlos p. Romulo appealed per-
sonally to the six atomic powers
to try a new approach. The best
the Assembly could do. however.
was to approve, on November %,
q resolution instructing the six
atomic powers to continue con-
situations to see If they could
agree on anything. These pow
ers are Russia, the United tSates,
Britain, France. China and Can
ada.
The West picked up votes on
this issue. At the Paris Assembly,
the Western plan for atomic con-
troll was approved on November
4, 1948, by 40 votes to 6 (the
Slav bloc, with Yugoslavia a
member at that time)
This year. the Assembly ap-
proved the resolution for further
talks, which amounted to a re-
affirmation Of the Western plan.
by vote Of 40 to 5. Some small
countries went over to the ma
jority and Yugoslavia abstained
this time.
The other important point
where the West gained was on
peace. By So votes to 5 (the Slav
bloc) with Yugoslavia again alb
staining, the Assembly approved
q 12-point statement of the "es-
sentials of peace" put up by the
United States and Britain as a
counter to the Soviet Union pro-
posal for a so-called peace pact
among the five great powers. l

items, the longest work sheet ever
put before the U. N.
In addition to the top issues
dealt with above. the Assembly
took action on these other i'm
portant issues:
1. Palestine: A bitter fight on
the Jerusalem issue was climaxed
by Assembly approval Of the Spe-
cial Political Committee plan for
strict international control of
Jerusalem under U. N. admins
tration. The vote was 38 to IA
with seven countries abstaining.
Moshe Sharett, Israeli foreign
minister, said this was a dark
day" for the U. N. He has served
notice his government will fight
the internationalization plan. King
Abdullah Of Hashemite Jordan
was reported by Mr.. Sharett to
have said the scheme would be
carried out over his (Abdullah's)
dead body. Israel holds the New
City Of Jerusalem; Hashemite
Jordan has possession of the Old
City.
U. s., Britain Takes Beating.
The United States and Britain
took a beating on this issue. They
pointed out the U. N. has no
police force to carry out the plan
and that it eventually would cost
more than is required now to
run the U. N. itself-some $40.-
100000 a year. The Assembly ap-
propriated 100000 for the
Jerusalem regime.
The Assembly overwhelmingly
approved a program calling for

Secret Frankfurt Talk
May Determine Lineup
In West Reich Cabinet
By the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug.
20.-A secret conference that may
60 a long way toward determin-
ing the cabinet lineup in West
Germany's new federal govern
ment was held here today.
The conferees were DR.. Konrad
Adenauer, chairman of the con-
servative Christian Democratic
Union, and DR.. Hans Ehard, Ba-
varian minister-president (gover-
nor). DR.. Ehard leads the CDU's
southern wing, the Christian
Socialist Union.
The combined CDU-CSU tri-
umphed over the leftist Social
Democratic party in last Sundays
federal elections.
Coalition Near Completion.
DR.. Adenauer, the strongest
conservative in North Germany,
drove from Bonn to meet the
strongest southern Conservative in
Frankfurt-a midway point.
The talk was expected to place
the finishing touches on coali-
ton government program which
DR.. Adenauer may present to
meeting of CDU-CSU regional
chieftanS tomorrow.
The meeting will be held at DR..
Adenauers home at RhOendorf,
on the Rhine a short distance
from Bonn.
German political circles expect
the Rhoendorf meeting to strive
for party harmony on the ques-
ton of what other parties will be
| invited into a coalition govern
ment.
Extreme Rightists Problem.
Most observers believe the CDU-
CSU will invite the Free Demo-
cratic Party to join in forming a.
government. These parties are
generally regarded as rather SIM
liar in their policies and objec-
tives.
A question facing the confer
ence is what to do about the ex-
treme rightist parties. Their
votes could give the conservatives
heavy majority in the new par
Lament. but might leave it open
to charges of being Nazi-tainted.
The Socialists so far have been
mum on whether they would be
interested in joining a coalition,
even if the way were left open.
They are planning a meeting of
party leaders August 20 at Bad
Duerkheim, in the French zone.

Commissioners said they would
order Guy Pearson. collector OF
taxes, to attempt collection.
The current District Appropria-
ton Act requires that all non
resident pupils must pay tuition
fees.
Traditionally. the rates have
been set by the Board Of Educa-
ton In the fall and the students
have been billed sometime during
the middle of the first semester.
Bills have been sent to parents,
who paid the tax collector.
The only recourse the schools
have had has been dismissal OF
pupils if payments were not made
Mr.. Heinmiller said.
Mr.. Heinmiller said the advance
payment plan would require some
changes in Board of Education
procedure. The tuition rates would
have to be approved in July at
the end of school. rather than In
the fall after school opened. he
said.
Principals then would be notified
Of the rates in time to make the
required charges against non
resident pupils.
Tuition rates for nonresident
students for the 1949 school year
are as follows: Teachers colleges
$3O3; senior high schools. $217;
vocational high schools, $242;
junior high schools, $164; ele-
mentary schools. $110: handi-
capped training. $500; evening
