Mohinder Bedi Debates, Stars At Model UN
Delegate's Tactics End Mock Disputes
By Mnxtn* Rarpman
CORVALLIS. Ore.—SC Delegate Mohinder Bedi was th? star
of the Security Council ln a series of debates Friday on the floor of the Model UN.
Bedi led the Western powers and cudgeled the Eastern Blpok into acceptance of his resolutions to investigate the Gaza strip incident,' prevent a plebiscite in Cyprus, and permit the mock war in Ireland to be solved through mediation.
In an emergency session of the Security Council, Bedi addressed a packed auditorium of more than 400 people and pleaded for an end to the dispute without UN intervention.
“Britain and Ireland are willing and abt? to negotiate," said Bedi. "Therefore the question should he solved through bilateral agreement. Since international peace is not threatened, ths Security Council should not involve itself in the issues.”
Jn the Art Hoc Peace Committee. Delegate Mike Miller held that the resolution to ask Red China to participate in the UN to discuss the Korean question was out of order.'He objected to the competence of that committee to discuss the question; it was passed in spite of his efforts.
Miller took the proposal to the • Secretary General, w'ho proposed it to the Security Council. Against vehement opposition from the USSR, Bedi maneuvered an outright rejection of the proposal by the Security Council. He received a tremendous ovation ^ from the audience after eon-i demning thP Ad Hoc Committee and rejecting its proposal.

14 States Nix Bids Of Dems
By Jean Freudenthnl
Adlai E. Stevenson and Stifart Symlngt,on, by.general | acclamation, bccame the re- ! spective Presidential and Vice Presidential choices of the Democratic mock president!- I al nominating convention.
Only one ballot was needed ) for each man to receive his nod I from the more than 500 California college and university delegates who Saturday turned Bovard Auditorium Into a center | of bitter state and sectional rivalry.
At committee meeting» Fri- | day, the South had rumored it would leave the convention floor if delegates passed a stringent civil liberties and general welfare platform. But delegates from the border states of Kentucky and Tennessee were the ones who stormed from the eon-vention hall when an Illinois j delegate proposed the convention endorse Stevenson unanimously.
More States Bolt
Delegates from a dozen Borders Rocky Mountain, and Great plains states followed the protestors out of Bovard. Carrying Kefauver and Douglas placards, they challenged the validity of Stevenson's endorsement.
Votes were retallied. Stevenson had 548. 17 more- than he needed for endorsement, yet the renegades couldn't see fit to accept him. They shouted that the Democrats have never re-endorsed a defeated presidential candidate as they left the eon- ' vention hall enmasSe. •
Only 23 states were remaining on the convention floor when Symington W'as chosen. Opposed by two senatorial colleagues, Lyndon Johnson of Texas and Clinton Anderson of New Mexico, th* Missourian received the Vice Presidential bid at 8 p.m., nine hours after the convention was railed to order.

Stevenson had to better a field of nine other candidates, j Many of these were favorite I sons whose delegations were released immediately after they answered to the initial roll call.
Before the first ballot was tabulate^ Stevenson had mustered the votes of Ohio, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and South Carolina. These votes had first been cast for Gov. Frank J. Lau-che. Sen Lyndon Johnson, Sen. Richard Russell, Gov. G Men-nen Williams, and Mi's. Eleanor I Roosevelt, respectively. New York's suppoVt of her, governor Harriman, and Pennsylvania's supprt of her Governor Leader, went to back Kefauver.
Rhode Island Switches
Rhode Island, who had first afirmed Justice Douglas’ nomination, clinched the Stevenson > victory when her delegates I jumped on the former Illinois gov ernor's handw ag»n which was also backed by Alabama, Idaho, Ixniisiana, North Carolina, and Vermont.
Stevenson's name was first put in nomination by an Illi-1 nois delegate who called, the former goxernor* "the logical [ man to restore our country to a | place of leadership and respect j
Murray Bring, chairman of the SC delegation which represented California, made Stevenson's second speech He told th. j convention, "it's time for a | change from the government of, for, and by General Motors back | to a government of, tor, and by the people.”

Reps Bid Nixon on 3rd Vote
By We» Gregory After eight hours of bitter debate, the Young Republi-[ can Mock Nominating Convention Friday finally nominated Dwight David Elsenhower for President and Richard Nixon for Vice President.
President Elsenhower's nomination by acclamation on the first ballot sparked a five-minute demonstration which involved a | band, cheerleaders, and delegates waving giant "Ike” placards, j The real fight, which threatened to force the entire Southern block of ten state« to walk out.
| was over who waa to run with th* president.
Shivers Named The Southern bloc, one of the most powerful and vociferous at the conclave, unanimously supported Governor Allan Shivers of Texas.
When Parliamentarian Steve Nya of Stanford ruled Shiver's nomination Illegal aince he is a Democrat, the Southern states, led by Texas, nearly ealtied themselves from Bovard Auditorium.
Besides the Vice President and Shivers, a total of aeven favorite sons were nominated for Eisenhower's running-mate.
Governor Chrlatlan Herter, Dan Thornton, Governor William Strat'„-n, Gov. George Craig, Tom Dewey, Senator William Knowland, and General Douglas MaoAi-thur were each placed in nomination.
Nixon Led Nixon led on the first and sec-I ond ballots, and was finally cho-| s.n on the third vote, which I came at 5:40 p.m.
| The convention, which was at-i tended by an estimated 600 student* from 35 colleges and uni-j v.rsities in California, was j sprinkled with humor through-| out.
The Trojan Young Republican club, which was the host for the conclave, attempted to control the convention so that “Ike and Dick” would receive the nod.
Prior to convention time, the Trojan Club had plastered the walls of Bovard with huge por-traita of Eiaenhower and Nixon. Strip the Stage Above the speaker’s rostrum was a banner proclaiming "It’s Ike and Dick ln ’56." The chairman of the North Carolina delegation took exception to this and asked State Controller, Robert Kirkwood, the permanent chairman for the meeting, to have it removed.
Kirkwood ruled that “If North Carolina wiahes the banner removed, I suggest that he do so j himself.”
I At this point, the entire North Carolina delegation rushed the stage and sripped it not only of the banner, but of the portraita of William Knowland, Tom Kuchel, President Elsenhower, and, Abraham Lincoln which graced the stage.
Led by Ralph Goodson, vice | president of the Trojan YR, the California delegation shouted for th* replacement on the stage of ! Lincolns picture at least. This I was done
Kuchel Speaks Following a speech by Senator Tom Kuchel of California, in which he accused Democratic senatorsd of "bottling up Feder-sl Aid to Education bills,” which Eisenhower asked Congress to pass the convention got down to the serious business of the day.
It soon got bogged down, how ever, in a bitter fight over the inclusion in th. platform of a plank «indorsing the Bricker Amendment. This was finally voted out of the platform.
The delegates also rejected from inclusion in the platform, a plank recommending that the kegal voting age be lowered to 18. They also voted to deny statehood to either Alaska or Hawaii.
