The Air Force pointed out that
its pilots are under long-standing

Red Veto Of Pearson
Starts New Scramble
For Lies Successor

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. IA Soviet veto by rep
resentatives of the new Malen-
kov regime threw United Nations
delegates once again today into
a Wide-open scramble for a sue
cessor to Trygve Lie as secretary
general of the U. N.
The Russians cast their 56th
veto in the 11-nation Security
Council last night to wash out a
nine-vote majority for Canada S
Lester B. Pearson. The Cana
dian Foreign Secretary. president
of "the U. N. Assembly, was
backed by Britain and France.
Five Vote for ROmulO.
The United States managed to
muster only five votes-less than
majority-for it's candidate,
Carlos P. Romulo of the Philip
pines. The lack of a majority
made it unnecessary for the Rus
slams to use the veto in his case,
as they had threatened to do.
Russia's candidate, Polish For
eign Minister Stanislaw Skrzes-
cewski, got only one vote-from
the Russians. There were three
votes against him and seven alb
StentionS.
After four hours Of wrangling,
council members decided to adj
journ attempts to find general
ly acceptable candidate until
next Thursday.
Meanwhile, the five permanent
MEMBERSHIP United States,
Britain. France. Russia and Ma
tionalist China-were to hold
private consultations in an effort
to break the deadlock.
Unless some agreement is
reached during the big-f1ve con-
situations between now and
Thursday, all three candidates
may come up again to a vote.
Other compromise choices might
also be named.
Those reported to have voted
with the United States for Mr..
Romulo were Greece, China, CO.
lumbia and Pakistan. It could
not Immediately be learned who
besides Russia voted against him.
Zorin Asks for Delay.
Had it not been for the Rus
sian veto, Mr.. Pearson's nine
votes would have put him in the
job that pays $4,000 a year plus
$4,000 for housing and other
expenses. Lebanon was believed
to have been the one country
that abstained on his vote.
Before the Council began bal
loting, Soviet Delegate Valerian
Zorin announced he did not
want the question to come to a
vote at that time. He warned
he would veto both Western can
didates if they were put to bal
lot. Despite this warning, the
United States repeatedly pressed
for the vote.

For Scientific Tests
Of Drunken Drivers

Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee has revived
the bill to give specific approval
to the use of scientific tests for
intoxication in the trials of driv-
ers accused Of serious traffic
offenseS.
He introduced the measure
yesterday at the request of the
Board of Commissioners.
The Senate passed a similar
bill a year ago. but it failed of
enactment. The subject has
been before Congress for a num-
Der of years.
The bill would prescribe the
weight to be given in drunken
driving and negligent homicide
and manslaughter traffic cases
to the use of blood and urine
tests.
Under the bill, if there was
competent proof that the alcohol
content in the defendants blood
or urine was 5/10Oths of l per
cent or less by weight this would
be prima facie proof the defend
ants was mot under the influ-
ence."
If the content was between
5/100ths and 15/100ths of per
cent. the evidence would be "rel-
evant" but not proof as to
whether the defendant was in
toxicated.
Anything over 15/10Oths of /
per cent would be considered evil
dence of intoxication.
Commissioner F.. Joseph Dono-
hue, urging approval Of the bill,

All available detectives joined
in an extraordinary man-hunt
today for the bandit who de-
liberately murdered an elderly
grocer Thursday night while the
victims wife and daughter
pleaded for his life.
More than 60 men fitting the

condition of the prints. They
said, however, there is a posi-
bility that the killer may prove

first ordered soda pop from small
grocers and pulled guns while
lettering in the stores on the
pretense of drinking the bever-
ages. One of the pair is said to
answer the killers general de-
scription.
