Arise to exterminate the ag-

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Jan. 27.
The Communist dictatorship

aggressor by the United Nations,
the executive council of the Amer

today.
The council" also urged that
treaties of peace be signed with
Western Germany and Japan and
that an "all-out effort" be made
for complete mobilization in the
United States.
The executive councils foreign

I'VE must not permit Stain

to dominate the continental mass

ure house Of manpower and re-
sources" the statement said.
otherwise, the industrial, atomic,

which the democratic world now
enjoys would be largely nullified.
Under these circumstances, any
so-called neutral attitude towards
Soviet aggression. any hesitancy

But even if those objections were
removed. Mr.. Austin said, the
United States would vote against
it because the United States does
not feel there should be any more
delay in convicting Red China of
aggression.
Indian-Arab Meeting Due.
The Indian-Arab group is ex-
pected to meet during the week
end and to bring in a second revi-
sion Of its proposal Monday.
Mr.. Austin indicated he hoped
for the eventual support Of every
q. N. member except the five dele
cations in the Soviet bloc. But
informed circles here speculated
that most of the Arab-Asian bloc
would vote against the aggressor
verdict or at least abstain. India,
the leader of the group, has made
it plain the Indian delegation can
not vote for the aggressor tag on
Red China, which is recognized by
India as the government of China
Mr.. Austin's speech was re-
garded by U. N. diplimats as a
firm demand for a quick vote on
the aggression resolution. In ex-
planning to the political commit
tee that the resolution does not
provide for immediate sanctions
but merely sets up a study COM
mittee to decide what action to
take, Mr.. Austin brought into the
open the private conversations
that American diplomats had car
ried on with other delegations for
more than a week.
Summary of u. s. Position.
The American position, as stated
by American circles, is this:
Get verdict Of aggression
against Red China now. then let
all OF the United Nations con-
suit on the next step. -.
The Americans were reported
to have definite ideas on the
course the U. N. should take, but
they declined to tip their hand
this early in the game. Mr.
Austin's speech today, it was said
was intended to be an explana-
ton and not as conciliatory ges-
ture.
British circles said after the
speech that they were very salts
fed with his explanati ton, but
they still did not give their final
position on the whole resolution.

caused the burl, to the apple tree,
which was badly afflicted by the
presence of the parasite, caused the
invader to be seen for what it is,
and steps taken to destroy it.
Trees of all ages are susceptible
to infection by mistletoe. Since
birds are transporters of the seeds,
they are fellow workers with the
mistletoe. The bird in alighting on
a clump of mistletoe plunks his feet
down among the sticky berries
which hold fast to his soles. He
carries these enemies for many
miles until he finds a tree on which
he descends to rest. On the rough
bark of the trunk or branch he
scrapes off the burden; it settles
into groove of the bark and later
sends out roots to begin the forma-
ton of the ugly burl.
Burls are blockades for the food
transporting tissues which supply
the food material gathered by the
roots. of the tree. The thread-like
roots of the mistletoe cause the

many times discolored and pitchy

The amazed kibitzers asked why
she hadn't doubled. With a cagey,
knowing look, the lady replied
''You don't know Mr.. Sims. He re-
doubles at the drop of hat!"
In today'S hand Mr.. Meek held
the ace Of spades. When his op-
ponents reached a grand slam in
that suit, he thought he was dream
ing. Cautious, as always, he
wanted to make very sure that it
was his lead and that it would also
be his lead If the enemy went to
seven no-trump, the only other
available bid.
A Sad Expression.
Finally Mr.. Meek doubled, but
with sad expression as If he felt
no good could come Of it. I'M
mediately after Mr.. Dale passed, he
blurted, tits my lead, isn't it? HeI
wanted to be sure Mr.. Dale wouldn't

To avert any possible catastrophe,
he laid down the ace of spades at
the first trick.
What was wrong with the bidding
which reached a grand slam off
the ace of trumpS? Well, Of course,
1t was Mr.. New, who made a mis-
take common with inexperienced
players. He counted his void suit
as an ace in replying to Miss
Brash's Blackwood four-no-trumpI
bid.
Did Not Answer.
The four-no-trump bid asked |
this specific question: Partner, how
many aces do you hold?" But Mr..
New did not answer that question.
He did not tell Miss Brash the
number Of aces he had, but instead,
the number of suits in which he
had first-round control. Naturally,
Miss Brash figured him for three
aces and she was justified in bidding
seven.
No, you don't count a void suit
