aft Urges Support f UN Palestine Plan
Administration Called to Adopt Partition Report for Holy Land
:ENO. Sept. 21—(UP)—Sen. Robert A. Taft called on the ministration tonight to support the partition and immi-ition plan recommended to the United Nations assembly the UN special committee on Palestine.
‘I believe the majority report submits a sound compromise
of the dangerous controversy which
has existed,’’ Taft said in a statement. “The British government has asked for the advice of the assembly of the United Nations and should certainly be willing to accept the views which have been requested.
“Our government up to this time has been non-oommlttal. but I believe it should endorse the report! in principle, put the United States | definitely on record In favor of j the proposed plan and urge its | adoption by the general assembly.” TAHOE REST Taft issued his statement here before going to Lake Tahoe to rest for a day and prepare for speeches i Wednesday at Seattle, where he = will resume his tour to test his J prospects for the Republican presl-denial nomination. K The Palestine plan \ to which j Taft’s statement referred calls for ■ partition of the country into Arab j and Jewish states and for the ad- j mission of 150.000 Jfcws.
“Such immigration will remove j a sore spot in the economy of Eu- i rope and reduoe the seriousness of J the problem of displaced persons | in Europe.” Taft said.
. PROMPT ACTION “Prompt action by our government will tend to solve one of the ' most serious problems that faces the world. In view of our policyi as frequently declared by congress.) we should state our position clearly j at this time.”
Taft conferred with Nevada Republican leaders here today after last night’s speech in which he voiced his views on reclamation and defended the Republican record in i congress.
His speech was noteworthy in i that it was the first of his western tour that failed to bring out “a
Watermelon Dig Poses Problems In Foe
Supply
Will 6000 pounds of watermelons and 300 gallons of punch be enough to feed the hungry SC-ers at the Chi Phi feed next Friday? That is the problem confronting Roger Williams, in charge of watermelon procurement.
The Soe problem ha« also been causing Williams some worry. He has been trying to ascertain how much ice will be needed to keep those thousands of watermelons cooled, juicy, and delectable for the chooiy SC students who will attend the party.
•fms Williams d e 1 ▼ e d into the higher mathematics behind the scenes of the food problem, plans are a-weigh to rope off 28th street next Friday night 4o give a free swing to local hep cats to strut their style in the street dance, phonograph records will pnmde the dance music which will be beamed down the street by a public address system.
lAst year the local “small-frr” from the 32nd street school got wind of the watermelon party via the grapevine, and consumed several tons of melons before the SC old guard could overpower them.
“The grammar school front has changed this year,” revealed Williams. “An Intricate security and spy system has been organised to keep the kids away from the watermelon dig. We have even taken steps to keep the Daily Trojan from falling into their hands so they will have no idea when the party will be held.”
“As an added precaution, though.” added Williams, •'the SC crowd had better be at the party at 7 o’clock sharp, just in ease the kids get there first.”

World Opinion Forces Russia Into UN-Baker
“Tlie UN has made tremendous progress," stated Alonzo Baker, instructor in political science, at the All-U assembly Friday noon.
“It is possible Russia may move out of the UN. We want her in the organization, of course, but her leaving may be a good thing. We can then demonstrate that the UN can work. With 50 nations standing side by 3ide Russia will never dare to challenge them and would eventually come back.” ha stated
Before Mr. Baker gave his address many campus leaders participated in a discussion of the UN. Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Dr. Albert S. Rauoenheuner. educational vice-president, Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science and president ot the Southern California United Nations association; Bill Randle, president of th? international relations club; and Paul Wildman, ASSC student boci-president, gave short addresses.
‘The fact that we are not per -sonaily, locally, or nationally enthusiastic about the UN is ■urpris-ing." said Dr. von KleinSmid.
"World opinion is a decisive tlui.K and even Russia must abide by world judgements." stated Mr Baker. He cited the attempt to tak» Iran which was halted by the pressure of world opinion because it raised “such a smell” that even Russia had to retreat. “This would not have happened 25 or 30 years ago."
Mr. Baker stated that the UN accomplishments have not been made in the assembly or security councii but in less publicized agencies. Tne world bank capitalized at billion dollars has already made loans to France and Holland.
Mr. Baker believes the Marshall plan to eliminate the veto power in the security council is excellent. He said that the UN constitution must be a dynamic and changing thing to follow world events.
This assembly, held in observance of United Nations week, was cloeed with the singing of the Alma Mate** under the leadership of Jea Morf ASSC vice-president.
