A 30-day-old ruling by the
State Department of Employ
ment Security says persons

James Cuff, district manager
for the department, said the
rule is based on the basic Fed
eral law requiring persons re-

themselves available for imme-

He said women reduce their
chances for employment when
they appear in slacks or jeans.
Mrs. Turner said she has

jeans are worn by all women
workers. But Mr.. Cuff said that

The Indonesian President did

Reds Veto u. N. Action
Zorin Blocks
Any Support
OF Portugal

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Dec. 10 (AP).-A Soviet veto
early today killed a Western
resolution calling for the with
drawal of invading Indian
troops from Goa and the two
other Portuguese territories on
India's west coast.
Chief United States Delegate
Adlai E. Stevenson, who led
the Western fight. told the
Council it was witnessing the
first act Of drama which could
end in the death of the United
Nations.
The League Of Nations died
when it allowed the use of force
the failure of the Security
Council to call for a simple
cease fire in these circum-
stances is a failure for the
United Nations" Mr.. Steven
son declared.
Mr.. Stevenson said the Soviet
veto was not surprising since
it was lone in its long role
Of obstruction" But he said
the attitude of some members
obviously India and it's Asian
and African defenders on the
Council-was profoundly dis
turbing because they were try
ing to rewrite the U. N. charter
to sanction the use of force
when it suited their own pur-
poses.
Sees Disintegration
This can only lead to chaos
and disintegration of the Unit
ed Nations" he declared.
Soviet Delegate Valerian A.
Zorin not only blocked any U. N.
intervention on behalf of Por-
tugal but supported a resolu-
ton by Ceylon, Liberia and the
United Arab Republic which re-
jected the charges of Indlsn ag-
gression. and called on Portu-
gal to cooperate with Irdia in
liquidating the Portuguese ter
ritories on the Indian subcon-
tinent.
India's defenders coi.tended
that the invasion was justified
because the three Portuguese
enclaves-Goa, Diu and Damao
were remnants of colonialism.
The Asian-African plan was
rejected when the other seven
members of the Council voted
against it. The vote on the
Western plan-Sponsored by the
United States, Britain. France
and Turkey was IA. The
negative votes were cast by the
Soviet Union. Ceylon, Liberia
and the United Arab Republic.
The veto was the 99th cast by
the Russians.
No Assembly Action
Western diplomats expressed
dismay at the Soviet action. but
there was no indication that
they would seek action in the
104-nation General Assembly.
Some said privately the strong
Asian-African bloc in the AS
sembly also would defeat any
move to get Indian hroops out
of the Portuguese territories.
1t appeared that no further
U. N. action was in sight. A

consultations were in progress,
however.

proposal had deplored India's
