No Consultation
A United Nations headquar
ters site agreement which con
gress approved Aug. 4 permits
foreign communist writers, who
would otherwise be barred from
the United States, to come to
New York to report sessions of
the United Nations. It calls for
consultation in such cases by
the United Nations with this
government. The State Depart
ment asserted today this was
not done in the case of the two
men whose deportation has been
sought.
They are Nicolas Kyriazides
of Greece and Syed S. Hasan
of India. Proceedings against
them in New York were post
poned yesterday. Trygve Lie,
UN secretary general, inter
vened in their behalf in a tele
gram to Warren R. Austin, J.S.
chief delegate +o the UN.

ment asserted, “ceased being a

credentials Oct. 24 as corre
spondent for a weekiy newspa
per in Cyprus which the state
department contended was fi
nancially unable to pay more
than a small part of the neces
say expense of a full time cor
respondent.
Student Passport
Hasan was given a passport
visa to come to the United
States as a student, and (the
state department said that “we
learned with surprise this week
that the United Nations had ac
credited him months ago as a
correspondent.”
“The department considers
that the provision in the United
Nations headquarters agree
ment concerning representa
tives of the press relates only
to persons who come to this
country for bona fide newspaper
work and not for those who take
up work incidentally,” the state
department said.
“The department is ready at
any time to designate a group
of its officials to meet with UN
officials to recommend to them
a drastic revision of the UN
system of accreditation of alien
journalists. It is hoped that a
meeting can be arranged at the
earliest opportunity to discuss
various phases of the relation
ships existing between this gov
ernment and the United
Nations.”
If a ship is relatvely unstable,

Army spokesmen said the
withdrawal would weaken the
canal defenses but would not
leave the strategic waterway
unguarded. There is a heavy
defensive perimter within the
10-mile-wide canal zone and air
and radar installations guard
the Atlantic and Pacific en
trances.
At the same time, Congres
sional pressure appeared to be
building up for consideration of
alternative measures to guaran
tee the United States unin
errupted passage between the
two oceans. Sen. William F.
Knowland, R., Calif., said he
will introduce a bill next month
for construction of a sea-level
canal across Nicaragua.
Sen. Dennis Chavez, D., N.M.,
proposed that the United States
negotiate with Mexico to build
a 190-mile canal across the Is
thmus of Tehauntepec, between
Salina Cruz on the Pacific coast
and Puerto Mexico oh the At

In the earlier report yester
day the Coast Guard said that
the Charleston, S. C., Marine

the tuff McAllister or the Moran

Officials at the Wilmington
Cape Fear Pilots association
were quoted as saying it would
be impossible to tow the Andrew

department was the successful
bidder however. The im

uled extra trains and extra
flights as the holiday crusli be
gan. The New York Central Rail
road reported that traffic vol
ume was 15 per cent greater
than last year, one of the na
tion’s biggest observances of
Christmas, and the Pennsylvania
recorded a 13 per cent increase.
Traffic experts said the clear,
sunny weather would boost the
volume of traffic in metropolitan
areas to the heaviest of any day
preceding a holiday. The Nation
al Safety Council predicted that
400 persons will be killed from
midnight tonight to’ midnight Sun
day.
The Federal Reserve Board
said Christmas shopping this
year will boost department store
sales to a new December record
in terms of dollars. The actual
“take” in the first two weeks of
December was eight per cent
above the same period last year.
Hopes of St. Petersburg, Fla.,
residents for a White Christmas
ended today when sunny skies
boosted the mercury into the
70’s and forced postponement of
“Operation Snowflake.” Pilot
Bob Leon, sponsored by the St.
Petersburg Independent and
the city publicity department,
took off this morning to drop dry
ice into clouds to produce snow.
The clouds he was aiming at
wafted away before he could
reach them.

eve:
Terre Haute, Ind. — Ihancey
L. Boyll, 74-year-old landlord

rive Christmas eve and stay un
til Saturday.
Pearl Harbor, T. H. — Men

la will celebrate two Christmas
es, both on Dec. 25, 1947. The

Farland, a veteran awaiting ap
proval of a GI loan to build a
house, was told by doctors that
