Vishinsky TO Continue
Fight on Trygve Lie
In General Assembly
BY the Associoied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. $50
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky made it clear today
that he would continue Russia S
fight against Trygve Lie when the
question of extending the United
Nations Secretary Generals term
is raised in the General Assembly
He refused to explain to re-
porters why Russia cast her 46th
veto in the Security Council yes
terday to block Mr.. Lies re-
election to a new five-year term,
but said that when the time comes
to make more detailed objections
he will have something to say.
Obviously this was a reference
to the expected move by the
United States and its friends to
get Mr.. Lies present term eX-
tended by the veto-free Assembly,
possibly for a period of as long as
three years U. N. legal observers
have expressed the opinion such
an extension of Mr.. Lies present
term is legal. Unless it is ex-
tended, Mr.. Lies term expires Feb
ruary 2.
MIR. Vishinsky was asked wheth-
er Mr.. Lies attitude on Korea was
at the base of the Soviet objec-
tions. The Soviet Foreign Min
lister smiled and said: Il cannot
be more precise at this time. -
He refused to comment on other
possible candidates, including Sir
Ramaswami Mudaliar of India and
Gunnar Myrdal of Sweden.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Malik cast Russia's veto
against Mr.. Lie, Norwegian.

Austin, as October president of
the Council, sent letter to Mas

of the veto-free General Assembly.
saying the Council had failed to
agree on reelection. =
Under the U. N. charter, the
Council must recommend a secre-
tary-general. with the five big
powers-Russia, the United States,
France, China and Britain-voting
unanimously for him. The Gen.
eral Assembly then must approve
the recommendation and fix the
term.
With this stalemate, the Coun-
ell drafted the letter to the As
sembly stating that it was not
able to make a recommendation
Soviet Expected to Stand Pat.
This left the way open for the
Assembly to vote an extension of
Mr.. Lies term. A. H. Feller, legal
adviser to the U. N. official, ruled
last May that the Assembly could
extend the term of a secretary
general in the case of failure of
the Council to make a recon-
mendation and U. N. officials said
the delegates generally agreed
with that ruling.
1t was expected that the Rus
slams would attempt to maintain
that nothing could be done with
out their express consent.

how a former reporter for The
Star solved a murder and brought
the killer to the Rockville Jail In
1885 will be televised from Sta
ton WNBW on "The Big Story
program tonight at $50 pm.
Actor James Medallion will
portray Arthur A. (Jack) Allen,
who covered for The Star the
murder of Manuel Silva Valera
of Doubs. Frederick County, Md.
Mr.. Valera's body, burned beyond
recognition, was found in a field
off the Jacksonville Barnesville
road in Upper Montgomery County
November 9, 1885.
Mr.. Allen checked the license
tags of an automobile abandoned
at the side of the road a few
miles from the murder scene and
learned they had been issued to
Mr.. Valera.
With Star Photographer Elwood
Baker, Mr.. Allen drove to Doubs
and encountered Alfred Brown,
81, stepson of the murder victim.
He learned Brown had been at
the scene driving the car which
had been abandoned.
Without indicating that the
victims body had been found,
Mr.. Allen persuaded Brown to
accompany him to Rockville,
promising to help him recover
the automobile.
After prolonged questioning by
police, Brown, a heavyweight
boxer. confessed the murder and
was sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
Mr.. Allen is a commander in the

ers in comparable jobs in this
area. Initial findings have shown
that private industry workers in
these jobs have had pay increases
averaging about 7 cents an hour
since Federal Wage Board en-
ployes here last received salary
boost last November.
The Defense Department an
nounced the survey for wage
board employees here last month.
It's findings are expected to be an
nounced about the end of this
month.
The rates of pay for Federal
Wage Board workers have no bear
ing on the wages of classified en-
ployes, whose salaries are fixed by
Congress.
PAY-Meanwnile, the AFL Gov
ernment Employees Council, repre-
senting % unions with a total
membership of more than 500,-
900 Federal employees, announced
yesterday it will seek a classified
Government pay raise immedi-
ately after Congress reconvenes
here on November 27.
The council said the excessive
high cost of living" necessitates
immediate action by Congress to
grant Federal employees another
salary increase. The council said
the food price index now stands
at 212, based on 100 for 1935-39
costs: wearing apparel is at 1859,
