Parrot Isn't Taking,
Legal Action or Not

LONDON, Oct.N8 (AP).-
Polly, the parrot with the bro
ken beak, wasn't talking today
despite a threat Of legal action.
Two ladies stood by his cage
waiting for just one word-the
word that would identify the
owner of the bird.
If it says "hello," it instantly
will be claimed by Mrs. ISa-
bella Morrison, SIS.
If it says "momma," It will
be taken home by Mrs. Dorothy
Pretty, 40.
Right now that broken beak
is holding up pronunciation of
the vital word, and all the
ladies can do is wait.
The trouble began when the
parrot-Polly, for our purposes
flew in the window of Room
301 at a hotel in the seaside
resort of Whitley Bay. Mrs.
Morrison arrived at the hotel
soon afterward and caimled the
bird.
That's my Mac" she said,
So she took the parrot to her
home in the shipbuilding CEN
ter Of South Shields.

Before long Mrs. Pretty
showed up, took one look at the
bird and said:
: This is my Jezebel."
A heated argument broke
out.
Il will not part with Mac"
said Mrs. Morrison. "I know it's
him because his beak is broken.
He can say hello in three
different ways"
Listen" said Mrs. Pretty,
"Jezebel's heak is broken too.
He says Momrna."
Then came the threat of legal
action.
MY lawyer has written to
Mrs. Morrison ordering her to
return the parrot within three
days." said Mrs. Pretty. II in

~ Nations Abstain
From Resolution
To Delay Action
By EARL H. VOSS

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 8.-The General Assembly
again voted to postpone action
on admitting Red China to the
United Nations today, but by
the smallest margin in 10
years.
The vote was AZ in favor, "a
against with % abstentions.
The decision, over Soviet
opposition, came on a United
States-backed resolution bar
ring any action on the China
question during this 18th ses-
sion of the Assembly.
United States Ambassador
James j. Wadsworth quickly
issued a triumphant statement
claiming the vote showed
American policy to keep Red
China out of the United Ma
tions continues to have the
support OF the majority OF the
world community"
Cites Heavy Pressures
He claimed this to be true
despite the heavy pressures
put on many states to vote
the other way"
Officials could not explain
how Mr.. Wadsworth concluded
that a majority of the world
community supported the
United States position. Fifty
votes would form a majority of
the 98 nations seated in the
Assembly; the resolution won
only AZ votes and there were
% abStentions.
Each year since 1852 the
in beating off the de-
for full debate on China's
claim has been progressively
lower. Last year the vote was
44-29 with 8 nations alb
staining-there were 80 mem
bers then.
Most Of the newly independ-
ent African states, closely
watched for their reaction to
this key issue, abstained today.
Nigeria, Guinea and Ghana,
however, voted consistently
with the Soviet bloc on a series
of amendments seeking to re-
verse a steering committee de-
cision rejecting the Red China
proposal for debate.

Star StaR Writer

Washington public housing
officials have been sharply rep
rimanded for allowing more
than 80 critically needed houses
in a Northeast development to
stand vacant for need of re-
pairs.
There are about 5000 fam
lilies on the city's waiting list
for public housing.
In a crisply worded letter
to the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority. Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner Thomas K.
Fullerton expressed surprise at
the number of vacant units
and urged prompt repairs so
that they can be rented.
Visited Area
Col. Fullerton said he hap
pened to drive through the de-
velopment, Parkside Dwellings,
during a field inspection. After
taking a look at the empty
units and the general rundown
appearance of the development,
he said he asked an aide If he
knew who owned the property.
The answer was the Federal
agency.
The staff of the housing au-
thority blamed termites for the
trouble. A spokesman said
steps are being taken to bring
the two-block development, To-
Gated just below the Anacostia
River between Hayes and Foote
streets, up to par.
Col. Fullerton's letter, dated
September 30, came after sew
eral Federal and District Gov

acute shortage of public hous-
ing in the city.

Federal officials this week
will offer about 100000 to buy
land for the national cultural
center along the Potomac River.
The money was raised pri-
vately by center sponsors. They
have offered it to the National
Capital Planning Commission
to purchase the tract just west
Of New Hampshire avenue
NV. which is considered vi
tai.
If landowners don't agree
on a price offer. the NCPC, un-
like the private center organ
ization, can institute condem-
nation proceedings.
NCPC members agreed at
executive sessions last week to
use the funds to try to nego-
tiate a purchase and If they
fail. to condemn at least part
of the land.

The silver of a tract now is
occupied by a waffle shop,
which workers are expanding,
