Justice and peace under interna-
tional law"
A, few days later, he turned
down Swiss suggestion for a
new summit conference with the
statement that he preferred to
handle current international
crises through the United Ma
lions.
In the light of what has hap
pened so far. the implications
are plain enough:
| AS long as the United States
actively supports the decisions
of the General Assembly, the
United Nations can exert decisive
influence in any area where the
military, political and economic
influence of the United States
is decisive. In other areas, such
as Hungary. where American in
If1uence does not extend and
where Russian influence is OPP
posed to the decisions of the As
sembly. it cannot.
In short, while no miracles
have taken place, something ex-
Itremely important has happened
to the United Nations during the
last month. The original con-
Icept of five great powers without
whose unanimous consent no
decisive action could be taken
has been scrapped. And Of the
two remaining great powers. one
has chosen-at least for the time
being-to ally itself with the will
of a majority of nations in the
U. N. General Assembly.
/ How long this situation may
last seems likely to determine
the effectiveness of the United
Nations in the coming months
particularly in meeting the prob
lem of a lasting settlement in the
Middle East. For the time be-
ing, U. N. leaders are reserving
their predictions, while moving
ahead cautiously to tackle the
new responsibilities that have
been handed to them.

to bring about compliance with
Its decisions.
From the very beginning of the
crisis, President Eisenhower laid
the greatest possible stress on
the fact that. for the first time
the United States was co-ordin-
ating its own efforts completely
with the General Assembly
Speaking to the Nation on
October 81, he expressed his
conviction that processes of the
United Nations need further to
be developed and strengthened

gate, observing that the council
was apparently powerless in the
face of rapidly worsening situa-
tion," proposed the summoning
of an emergency session of the
Assembly. The vote passed, To
with Britain and France voting
against and Australia and Bel
Igium abstaining. Within a mat
ter Of minutes, cables were on
their way, summoning delegates
Iof 70 member nations to the
emergency session the following
day.
Veto Not Determining Factor
1t is clear then, that it was
not the use of the veto which
determined the outcome Of either
crisis. In both cases, the British
and French on the one hand.
and Russia on the other, used
their vetoes freely. In neither
case. thanks to the new proce-
.dures, did they prevent the U. N.
from taking over. The outcome
in Hungary. therefore, was
hardly. as Senator Knowland
has suggested. case of a Rus
sian veto Strangle-hold that can
prevent effective action from
being taken against a Communist
aggreSSor.
Nor was it. in any way, a
difference in attitude on the part
of the Assembly itself. In both
the Middle Eastern and Hum
garian crises, an overwhelming
majority of the U. N. members
backed the measures that were
proposed to put an end to the
fighting. The American resolu-
ton calling for a cease-fire in
Egypt cleared the Assembly with
a vote of 81 to 5. In the case of
Hungary. q far tougher finai
resolution condenining the ac-1
ton of the Soviet Union and
calling for an immediate with
drawal Of Russian forces passed
with a vote of SIS to- 8 with 10
abstentions.
Since action within the United
Nations was so similar in both
cases. it follows that the differ
ence in results was caused by
factors outside the organization.
One explanation which has been
repeatedly suggested is that
Britain and France, being
oemocracies. are naturally more
susceptible to the kind of moral
force" which the U. N. is able to
generate, while the Soviet Union
is not.
Backed by U.tS. Strength
Although not necessarily dis
counting this. some thoughtful
observers here suggest another
theory. What happened in the
case of Hungary and the Middle
East, they say, proves the point
that decisions of the United Ma
tons are effective only as long
as they are backed up with real
political and military strength.
In the Egyptian dispute, the
decisions of the General As
sembly were backed by the
combined strength of Russia and
the United States. And of the
two, the decisive factor was the
decision of the United States to
act through the General As
sembly. applying maxim u m

(OHtiHueu FROM flrSL rage
already deeply involved in the
Hungarian crisis. Two days
earlier, the Security Council hao
received the second of two
urgent cables from Imre Macy
appealing for U. N. protection OF
Hungary's newly proclaimed
neutrality and intervention to
secure the withdrawal of Rus
sian troops.
Today, despite a dozen stern
resolutions in the Assembly-in-
GLIDING the outright condemna-
ton of Russia by an overwhelm-
ing majority of the world COM
munity-the Russians are still in
Hungary. And for the foreseeable
future. at least, there is nothing
the u. N. can do which is likely
to help the Hungarian people in
their heartbreaking struggle for
freedom.
Neither Side Fully Right
It is only when these two cases
are examined in detail that some
OF the reasons for the completely
opposite results begin to emerge.
And along with them comes the
thought that neither the optimis-
tic world government enthusiasts
nor the bitter skeptics of Senator
Knowland's stripe are completely
right in their judgment of the
U. N. and its new potentials.
To begin with, in both crises,
which came almost simultane-
ously. the U. N. for the first time
showed itself capable of taking
action under emergency rules set
up six years ago. but never pre-
viously tested. These rules were
adopted during the Korean War
when it was realized that only
the. fortuitous absence of the
Russian delegate from the Sc
curlty Council at the time of the
Communist attack prevented the
complete paralysis of the U. N.
The Uniting for Peace" reso-
luton. adopted November 3, 1850.
was essentially a device for get
ting around the Communist veto
In the Security Council. 1t pro-
vided that IN case of a threat to
the peace in which action in the
Security Council is blocked by a
permanent member, the General
Assembly can be summoned on
"a hours notice by the vote Of
any seven members of the coun-
Gil. The Assembly can then pro-
coed to deal with the threat. And
though its decisions are only
recommendations" to the men,
Der governments, no great-power
veto can prevent the recon-
mendations from being made.
Procedure UndergOes Test
Both the Middle East crisis
and the Hungarian upheaval
provided classic tests for this
new procedure.
On October %, the council met
at the call Of the United States,
France and Britain to take up
the situation in Hungary, where
fighting had broken out. Two
days later, the Egyptian crisis
burst into the discussion with the
Israeli invasion of the Sinai
peninsula, followed by a British
and French announcement that
they planned to intervene in the
Suez area.
In both cases, action in the
Council was paralyzed. The

cease-fire in Sinai proposed by

Diggers Save Man
Buried by Cuve-in

A 39-year-old laborer suffered
only a sprained back yesterday
near Glen Echo when the sides
of a sewer line ditch he was
standing in collapsed and buried
him under several feet of dirt.
The accident occurred when
the laborer. Howard w. Thorn
ton, colored, 26 r street NE,
jumped into the 10-foot ditch at
quitting time to pick up his pick
and shovel. The ditch is close
to house under construction
at 61o8 Walhonding road, Glen
Echo Heights.
Several carpenters working at
the project dug frantically and
freed the laborers head in about
five minutes. An ambulance
crew from the Glen Echo Volun-
teer Fire Department was sum-
.moned to aid in the rescue.

Prince Edward Acts

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. "a [P).
"A motion to subpoena school

County school segregation case
has been dropped.
Instead, lawyers on both sides
have agreed to meet soon to dis
cuss the steps taken by Prince
Edward to comply with the Su-
preme Court decision outlawing
segregation in public schools
Presumably. the gathering OF
facts on the part of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People would be a
prelude to possible new legal ac-
ton. Prince Edward, like other
localities in Virginia, continues
to maintain segregated schools.

'Broyhi|| Ready
To Renew River
Tunnel Fight
By GEORGE BEvERIDGE

Representative Broyhill, Re
publican of Virginia, said today
he will renew efforts next week
to substitute a Potomac River
tunnel for the Constitution ave-
niue bridge for which Congress
already has appropriated money.
The move is a blow to District
| highway officials, who felt they
had defeated earlier efforts by
Federal park officials for a
tunnel.
Mr.. Broyhill, long champion
of the bridge, said he will intro
duce a new tunnel bill perhaps
on Monday, because the bridge
project sis stymied on dead CEN
ter in the House District Com
mittee."
Only a minor change is needed
in the language of the authori-
cation Congress already has
voted for the bridge. But Mr..
Broyhill said he was convinced
that the necessary change would
not be made in the House be-
cause of opposition to the bridge
by Representative Smith, Demo-
GRAFT Of Virginia, who is chairman
of the House Rules Committee.
He said Mr.. Smith, who agrees
with park officials that bridge
would disrupt the character of
the monumental Lincoln Me-
mortal area, has assured him of
support for a tunnel bill.
Park officials, who have never
wavered in efforts to kill the
bridge. repeatedly have a substi-
tute bill all drafted for the tun-
mel. The tunnel move collapsed
a year ago when the Federal
Budget Bureau refused to recon-
mend that the Federal Govern
ment pay the difference in cost
between a bridge and a tunnel.
The District is prepared to
build the $24.5 million bridge at
its own expense. Aside from
cost, however. highway officials
have opposed the tunnel on
grounds that it would not serve
traffic as well as a span over
water. The bridge is a proposed
'six-lane structure, the tunnel
four lanes.
Il do not go along with the
concerns of some people about
effects of the bridge" Mr.. Broy-
hill said. But I want to get
some kind of crossing to serve
traffic in that area"

Advocates of State rights re-

that Arlington, operating under

because the Pentagon is not
legally in Virginia.
Judge Homer Randolp h
Thomas, however, found the de-
PENDANT guilty and imposed a $50
fine. The judge ruled that be-
cause Virginia has the power to
tax businessmen operating Pen
tagon concessions, the right to
control taxicabs there also exists.
The taxation right was pro-
vided for when Virginia decided
over Jurisdiction of the Pentagon
tract to the Federal Government
in 1912.
On the Federal aspect, Judge
Medley yesterday took the posi-
ton that the driver did not fall
under the special provision of the
1912 deed. The reason was that
he had not purchased or leased
any PentagOn property.

medical student, convicted OF
burglarizing Is homes in the

his education, was sentenced
yesterday to five years in the

He is awaiting sentence in

In January, Warrington sought
to throw police off his trail by
taking suicide at Great Falls,
leaving evidence indicating that
he had plunged into the rain
swollen Potomac River. He was
picked up later on a vagrancy
charge at Daytona Beach, Fla.
Warrington was dressed in
what appeared to be. a college

that it would work a hardship
on his wife and children. He said
he had worked with an airline
