What's Wrong With the u. NJ?

There is not much hope for the United
Nations If news story in yesterdays Star
accurately reflected the reaction of the u N.
delegates and employees to the American inter-
vention in Korea.
After the attack on South Korea, the
Security Council called upon member nations
to give all possible aid to the victims. Then,
by vote of seven to one, the Council indorsed
the action taken by the United States. Never
theless, according to the dispatch to The Star,
a majority Of the 1000 U. N. delegates, experts
and employees believe that President Truman's
action will result in the death of the United
Nations this year.
In substance, their view is that the Russians
will use the actions by the United States and
the U. N. as reasons for permanently withdraw
ing from the world organization. And that, it
is contended, may lead to the withdrawal Of
such countries as India, Pakistan Burma and
Egypt who would not want to be in the position
of lining up with the Western world against
Russia. Undia, however, announced yesterday it
would support the u N. policy respecting Korea.)
1t is worth repeating that this may not be
an accurate appraisal OF majority sentiment
within the J. N. If it is accurate, however, it
makes very little sense.
In the first place. 1t Is indicative of woeful
failure to grasp the Importance to the United
Nations of taking firm action against the in
vasion Of South Korea. To have done nothing
might have pleased the Russians. But it cer-
tainly would have destroyed the last vestige Of
confidence in the u. N. among the nations that
are not yet under the Soviet thumb. That
would have been a much more serious blow to
the organization than any walkout by the
Russians.
There is reflected in this sentiment further
more, lingering form of appeasement. The
thought seems to be that Russia must be kept
in the U. N. at any cost-even at the price of
rendering both the Security Council and its
member nations incapable of any action in the
face of aggression
If this really is the sentiment within the
u. N.-despite the contrary actions taken by the
Security Council-it is time that the delegates
and staff awoke to the facts of life. 1t is time
for them to realize that an aggressive Russia
with its veto power, is not, and never will be-
an asset to an international security organiza-
ton. Instead of wringing their hands at the
prospective Soviet departure, the delegates, in
the present state of things, should be hailing
it as good riddance.

The Spofford Appointment

Charles M Spofford is not known to the pub
lie at large either in this country or abroad His
record. however, indicates that he is equipped
to handle the significant duties that will be his
as the American representative in the new organ
ization being set up to increase the operating
power of the twelve-nation North Atlantic Pact.
In effect, the organization will act as per-
manent executive committee of deputies repre-
senting the Foreign Ministers who make up, ex-
oficio, the Atlantic Council, the Pacts chief
organ. The committee with London as its head
quarters, Is to operate on a fun-time basis from
one end of the year to the other. It's purpose,
among other things, is to carry out policies
agreed upon by the twelve signatory govern
ments, to maintain continuous study of the
political, economic and military inter relation
ships of the Vests various defensive plans, and
to recommend measures calculated to make those
plans as effective as possible.
This important organizational change has
come about as a result of last months London
conference of the Foreign Ministers forming the
Atlantic Council. Having learned from experience
that they could not devote nearly enough time to
the Councils business, the ministers agreed upon
the idea of deputizing that part of their work to
the committee now taking shape, their objective
being to establish an executive body designed to
give to the Pact's machinery the constant CO.
OTQlQaCluB QlTeCGlOn CIdL mas Deen lacking up
the present. direction that is clearly needed to
unity Western defensive action against the ever
present Soviet threat.
Mr.. Spofford, as the American member OF
this committee will in all probability be chosen
as its chairman, and his responsibilities will
therefore be particularly heavy. Although some
disappointment has been expressed abroad over
his lack of fame, he is a successful New York
lawyer with hne war record, including out
standing work as civil affairs off1cer-with the
rank of Brigadier General-in North Africa and
Italy. Holder of the Distinguished Service Medal
and the Purple Heart Che was wounded by enemy
action in the italian campaign, he is regarded
by those who know him as a man well qualified
to deal with the political, economic and military
problems of the West
If this background means anything. Mr..
Spofford, though not ''big name" personality,
is likely to serve with distinction in his important
new post.

wife know what those hours are, in COM
parison to her husbands am. to 4:30
or PM? My husband leaves his home
anywhere between and 8 am. daily
and never gets home before II or 1880

you can call it that from the hurried
manner in which he eats it-for all of
from 40 to 80 minutes, and to catch
brief glimpses Of his children. He car

only been of recent times he has taken

Philadelphia for a graduate course in

Perhaps the milk drivers wife will
think my husbands long hours bring
him in an enormous income. If 1t does
bring him a good return, it is because
he has earned it by the sweat Of his

and not because money-making is his

vance in radar bombing and scouting
methods makes it probable that hostile
aircraft will seek cloud cover for an ap-
proach to the United States or it's

Proise for Dorothy Thompson

That was splendid article by Dorothy
Thompson in The Star for June "a, de-
bunking the Tydings proposal for an
other appeasement talk with the Krem-
lin. And that was fine editorial in The
Star for June 21 on Senator Taft. This
is in marked contrast with one of The
Stars neighbors which recently carried
a characteristic misStatement by one of
its pet columnists about the Senator.
If the columnist in question would
take few lessons from Miss Thompson,
he could greatly profit by it, improving
both the intellectual and ethical level of
his writing. especially the ethical level.
Miss Thompson is not the sanctimo-
nious smear type Of artist. Nor does she
pursue with innuendo and abuse those
who do not follow her line She does not
have to stoop to such methods in order
to attract attention.

over. But anyone knows the only way
for conscientious person to do a job
is to do it right-and that is what he
and his colleagues are doing.
Maybe I have violated some sort of
professional ethical code by speaking
out like this-but the arguments set
forth by the union and its partisans
in the milk controversy demanded a re-
ply. II group-Such as the milk driv-
ers-can come to a point where their
actions jeopardiZe the well-being of a
community, than people in non-union
groups-such as the professions-must
answer them. How long would it be
before the community at large would
condemn the medical profession if its
members decided to furnish no more
assistance until they were all guaran-
teed incomes of $4,000 a year? It
sounds just as ridiculous as it is.
do not say the drivers were wrong
in asking for reasonable income and
working hours, but do say it was wrong
to bring their difficulties down upon the
heads Of the children in the community.
To me, the answer to the whole discus
sion, disregarding personal associations.
is that no one, he be milk driver or doc
tor, has the right to take any action that
thrusts hardships upon the community
at large, particularly our children.

Dodo Conrad Gives Recital
OF Poems Honorino Chopin

Doda Conrad's recital in the
PMllips Gallery bore. as usual,
the stamp of his artistic person
ality. The noted basso went a
little further this time in that
he gave evidence Of his resource
fulness in instigating something
very special and original.
To commemorate the Centen-
NAL of Frederic Chopin, observed
throughout the world last year,
the singer approached the French
poetess Louise de Vilmorin to write
a set of poems to permit him
to pay homage to the composers
memory.
These poems, seven in all, were
to touch upon the high spots of
Chopin's biography beginning with
his youthful ambition and ending
with the drama of his exile. After
the poems were written, Mr.. Con-
rad took them one by one to five
celebrated French composers. Pou-
lenc, Auric. Francois, Preger and
Milhaud, asking them to use the
special rhythms which brought
Chopin such great distinction. as
the ''Mazurka" and the "Valse," I"
and to include other forms of
composition the "Scherzo," the
"Etude" and the "Ballade." Henri
Sauguet completed the cycle by
adding a Prelude" and a POST
lude." the latter in the form of
"a "Polonaise."

The return engagement of Irene
Rosenberg in the National Gal
lery of Art last night permitted
! a view of the remarkable growth
kof this gifted American pianist in
the direction of virtuosity. Hear
ing her play Brahms Fantasies
op. 116" the thought persisted
that here was a young artist who
could do full justice to one OF
the masters concerti with Or
chestra. Miss Rosenberg's power
full touch and artistic elan seemed
to call for greater expanse and
freedom. such as only the long
lines of a concerto could supply.
This does not mean, however,
that the pianist cannot play a
number. such as Mozart's Sonata
in C Major, K,330." AS contrasted
with her performance of other
compositions, the color effects of
light and shade in this were ex-
pertly mixed. BY reducing at will
her resonant tone to a mere whis-
per. Miss Rosenberg did wonders
as to the variety of delicate effects.
Taking into consideration the
ever present echo in the east gar
den court of the Gallery, power
full utterances need particular
handling. This was especially
true in Bartok's "Six Dances in
Bulgarian Rhythm" They seemed
wanting in color for which some
of her other work was notable.
Before climaxing her program
with Prokofieff's Sonata No. 8"
Miss Rosenberg gave the first To-
cal performance to Edward Lewis
"Arioso," a modernistic elegy to
which she could apply her tonal
resources. The reception accorded
her was most cordial.
