Mr.. Lie was asked Monday
whether he considered Sundays
Korean cease fire resolution valid
He said this was matter for the
Council itself to decide. but added
that he would not have called on
the Council to act if he had not
believed it competent without
Russia.
So Nations Sounded Out
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lie and his top
aides are sounding out the So
United Nations on how far they
will go in trying to stop the
Korean conflict through aid to
the Seoul republic.
This was disclosed officially last
night before Russia informed Mr.
Lie that it considers sanction ac-
ton by the Security Council il
legal.
Mr.. Lie already had sent all
governments copies of the resolu-
tion adopted Tuesday night.
Mr.. Lie and his aides contacted
half dozen countries. including
Russia. in private talks with dele
cations yesterday. They would
not specify what delegations they
consulted.
Cordier Visits Malik.
1t was known that Andrew w
Cordier, Mr.. Lies executive as
sistant, visited Mr.. Malik at the
Soviet delegations Park ave-
nue. Offices in New York. U. N
officials would not say whether
the Korean problem was dis
cussed.
The Soviet reply said the U. N
Charter specifies that all five
permanent members of the Coun-
cil-the United States, Britain,
France, Russia and China.
must vote in favor of a resolu-
ton to make it legal. 1t said that
the absence of both Russia and
Red China from the session null
lifted the Councils action.
The Russian note, addressed to
Mr.. Lie and broadcast in a Tass
dispatch by Moscow Radio, was
the first official statement by the
Soviet government on the Korean
question since fighting started
there on Sunday.
There has been no indication
here that Moscow has answered
Washington's direct note asking
Russia to call off the North Ko-
rean Communists.

by the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, June 29.-The French
news agency yesterday quoted a
North Korean communioue which
referred to forces placed at the
disposition" of the North Ko-
rean-s There was no elaboration.
The phrase might imply that
some of the forces in the North
Korean Army were not Korean.
The agency gave the substance,
not the full text. of the COM
munique which it said was broad
cast by the Chinese Communist
radio. The communiQue claimed
that North Korean units had de-
stroyed more than 5000 South
Korean soldiers Tuesday.
The communique said "all the
Southern troops remaining in the
Ongjin Peninsula" on the west
coast have been mopped up by
Northern Korean forces which
have counted 1000 killed. wound

During the combat in the
neighborhood Of Yang -Tiong. 80

Public Regard for U.N.
Rises, but Delegates
Think u. 5. BIundered
BY Ernie Hill
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor ond
the Chieoao DoiIv News

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, June 20.
President Truman's vigorous
handling of the Korean crisis is
providing the United Nations with
a badly needed shot in the arm.
Prestige of the world peace or
ganization appears to be higher
now than at any time since Russia
started its obstructionist cam
paign during the veto" era and
continued it with its boycotts, be-
gun January 13.
In calling for urgent military
measures, the Security Council has
taken away some of the criticism
that the organization is nothing
but a long distance talking
forum.
Nevertheless, while a section of
the public may now feel that there
is some life left in the PROSTATE
U. NJ, the delegates and employees
at Lake Success have reacted
curiously.
LupAOycS AppTeHcHSlVc.
From the hour of President Tru-
mans declaration, a majority of
them have expressed the fear
that the United States blundered.
At first. the delegates, experts
and employees, who number some
1000, were shocked. They stated
that the United States had pro-
ceeded in its Korean plan with
out U. N. consideration or ap-
proval.
Their immediate Interpretation
was that President Truman's ac-
tion would result in the death
of the U. N. this year. They said
Russia and its satellites would
never return to their vacant
places.
The intense gloom that per-
vaded Lake Success lifted some
when the Security Council voted,
to l.. with two members not
voting and Russia absent, to spon-
sor and encourage the United
States lead.
Yet the idea persists that Amer
lean planes over Southern Korea
may mean the end of the United
Nations.
Russian Reaction Is Puzzle.
Russia may decide that since
the non-Communists are pledged
to stick together on this issue
it had better give ground and
return to the Council chambers
when Communist China is given
a seat. some argue.
They point out that Russia can
come to the General Assembly
session opening in September and
deny any part in the Korean war.
The Russians can use United
States participation for propa-
ganda purposes.
But those who believe just the
opposite are in the majority.
They contend Russia will use
the United States and Security
Council actions as reasons for
WlCnQfaWal.
Then we will face the danger
OF India, Pakistan, Burma, Egypt
and other Asiatic countries quitting
rather than lining up with the
Western world against Russia"
one veteran says.
No one is sure of how many
countries will withdraw if the U. N.
openly becomes an Anti-Com-
forum. '''
The U. NJ, it is believed, will re-
coup much of its lost prestige if
the Korean fighting goes on forI
many weeks. Or. if Russia re-
fuses to come back, the U. N. will
become an organization facing
bankruptcy and permanent ad-
journment.

C.. L. ScofieId

Rep. Scofield, long timer from
Powder River county, like the other
half of the gold dust twins, las he
and Rep. Esp are known in capitol
corridors) seems bound and deter
mined that his voting record will
always show him on the other side of
the corral from the people of Mon
tana. He's been in the House since
heck was a pup, and, though he be
an old cowhand, in only one of the
last five sessions has he roped any
kind of an average for the people
in 1943 when something apparently
miscued, and he came up with 178c
score.
Wasting of space to detail the num-
erous measures on which Rep. SEQ
field has voted agin' the people,
would be superflous. Instead, for
1945 and 1947 sessions, just substi-
tute his name for that of Rep. Blenk-
ner's above. Their votes were identi-
cal-00% for the people. In 1949, do
the process over, except, show Rep.
Scofield opposing HB34-the 500
school fund rendum-whereas in
that lone instant, Rep. Blenkner
voted on the plus side-voted to give
the people the right to ballot on
whether or not the state should pro-
vide 500 of funds for foundation pro-
gram of public schools.

Leonard ESP

Rep. Esp, in three sessions as a
legislator from Sweet Grass county
has voted 2 IS % for the people. In adj
dition, he introduced the un-American
Activities resolution in the House in
the 1949 session. where it was soundly
trounced by a cross-party vote of
both Republicans and Democrats.
His voting record for the 1915 and
1947 sessions is an identical 00qo for
the people - having voted against
them on every important issue roll
called. (See Blenkner break-down).
1s4s SESSION: One right vote;
for HB36. Otherwise, it's as follows:
For un-American committee; Against
HB34 (referendum) ; Against HB45;
Against HB62; Against HB106 (mi-

Against HB145; For HB165 (Cig.

Rep. Bradley in his one term

little reason for believing that he
will have improved with age. AS

and "anti-closed" proposal and of HB
339-general SALES TAX-in 1947

He was present for only three inn
portant roll calls. These found him

These three gentlemen from yell
lowstone county, likewise deserve re-
tirement to private life. Rep. Geb-
hardt has hit an 00as average for the
people in the past three sessions; Rep.
Pierce 215@G, and Rep. Krieg,
91s %.
All three in 1915 and 1947 sessions
had identical OO% records to that of
Rep. Blenkner. In 1949, Rep. Geb-
hardt kept his batting average" in
tact with another 00e6. Rep. Pierce
at long last broke into the "hit" col
umn by voting for Huns. On the
other 10 issues roll-called in the
House, he voted as usual-Wrong,
including voting for big time zone
armed bandit" operation and against
HB34. Otherwise, his record is identi-
cal with Rep Blenkner's.
Rep. Krieg did much better in 1949,
scoring 28@o. He voted against un-
American Activities committee; for
producers tax on natural gas Glib
1927, against HB347 and against lib
1873. His other ten votes were: OPP
posed HB34, HB36, HB45, HB62,

are identical-0O%. In 1915 Arm
