03 jfsJl aft a inn ofty Vtfe if Li UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Red China edged closer to a seat in the United Nations Friday when the General Assembly gave it a majority vote for the first time. It failed only because'the 127-nation assembly had approved earlier a U.S.-backed resolution declaring China representation to be an "important question," requiring a two-thirds majority! Fifty-one nations voted in favor of seating the Peking government, with 49 against and 25 abstaining. This amounted to 51 per cent of those present and voting, or 15 percentage points short of approval. The closest previous vote was in 1965, when Peking gained a 47-47 tie.

Last year the vote was 48 in favor and 56 againsta 46 per cent showing. Peking's showing this year came mainly because it gained five new supporters while nine countries switched from opposition to abstention. The new supporters were Austria, Canada, Chile, Equatorial Guinea and Italy. Two previous Peking supporters Cambodia and Maritius switched from "yes" to "no," but this was not enough to offset the wholesale switching from anti-Peking to abstention. In this group were Peru, Bolivia, Malaysia, Luxembourg, Ireland, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Senegal.

Many diplomats saw in the Peking gains the beginning of a trend which could win a seat for the Communist government by 1971 or 1972. The key to the assembly's vote was the continued coupling of Peking's bid with a demand for the expulsion of the Chinese Nationalists. During the debate a substantial majority favored Red China's seating, but not at the cost of expelling the Nationalist government. The United States was among those shifting emphasis to the expulsion issue rather than the attacks on Red China and its qualifications for a seat in the world organization. The vote on the "important question" resolution was 66 in favor, 52 against and 7 abstain ing.

Some delegates expressed doubts about supporting this idea in the future if Peking should attain a majority. Three abstainers in 1969, Canada, Italy and Equatorial Guinea, have established diplomatic relations with Peking this year. Chile, which also abstained last year, switched to support of Peking's candidacy after the elec tion of a Marxist president recently. On the other hand, the Chinese Communists lost Cambodia's support because they gave refuge to the ousted Cambodian chief of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, and allowed him to set up a government in (Continued on page 6) r. v-: a-; I'i WSJ 7 Billings, Montana, Friday Evening, November 20, 1970 Slnglt Copy IOC Horn Delivery Price It Lower CfsaoTumob I MO DDIS CT73 Beak ir yiro -fV- IL IWIiiWWWIill inn 1 V-- i i L.

r. Prosecutor Arnold Berger, Baker refused to say whether "this thing with Salem might be one of those long-range hexes you told us about." "I said I wasn't going to answer any more questions," Baker said, as he took the witness chair, dressed in baggy green prison coveralls and with his handcuffs lashing his wrists to a leather belt. Dist. Judge Jack D. Shan-strom called Whalen, Berger and Park County Atty.

Byron Robb to the bench, for consultation, after which Baker was dismissed from further questioning. During a brief mid-morning recess, Whalen refused to elaborate on the time of death of Bobby Salem or to identify the man or his alleged relationship with Baker. San Francisco Police Inspector Gus Coreris confirmed to The Associated Press Friday mom When Whalen asked Baker if he knew a Bobby Salem in San Francisco, Baker smiled and said: "I respectfully refuse to answer on the grounds it might tend to incriminate me." Whalen then asked if Baker had, in fact, killed Salem in San Francisco, cut off his ear, cooked it and eaten it. After a gasp from the rear of the packed courtroom, Baker once again used the Fifth Amendment, refusing to answer. "How long had you known Bobby Salem?" Whalen asked.

Baker refused to answer. Baker is serving a life prison term for Schlosser's murder. Asked by Whalen if Salem lived in San Francisco, Baker shook his head and again refused to answer. "Was he what you previously referred to as a faggot?" Whalen asked. Baker took the Fifth Amendment again.

Gazette Photo by Bill Tutokey 85th Year LIVINGSTON (AP) Suggestion of a second cannibalism slaying by convicted murderer Stanley Dean Baker surfaced in a heavily guarded Montana courtroom Friday as Baker, sullen and uncooperative, completed his testimony in the first-degree murder trial of a hippie hitchhiking companion. Harry Allen Stroup, 20, is charged in the cannibalism-tinged slaying of James Michael Schlosser, 22, Great Falls, whose headless, heartless torso was found in the Yellowstone River south of this mountain community July 11. In testimony Thursday Baker claimed that he shot Schlosser and ate his heart in an LSD-magnified rage against "the establishment." Under re-direct examination by defense lawyer Michael Wha-len Friday, Baker at first sullenly refused to answer further questions.

Cure for Pauling offered the following prescription for cold sufferers: Take about one-half level teaspoon of the powder form of ascorbic acid vitamin each day until the cold disappears. When a person first catches a cold, he said, taking about one gram of ascorbic acid each hour will chase the discomfort away.

Coreris said Salem had been dead for several days when his body was discovered in the apartment. Stroup took the stand just before noon in another flip-flop of the normal courtroom procedure.

The defense again took over testimony when the prosecution ran out of witnesses. He repeated Baker's testimony about the Canadian trip and backed up Baker's account of how they came to Montana.

Snow is expected to continue Saturday but visibilities are to improve, forecasters says. Lewistown and Miles City received an inch of snow and West Yellowstone reported six inches of snow Friday morning. The bill's textile and shoe quotas are the first since the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930, which brought broqd restrictions against foreign goods. The new bill would cut imports next year to 1967-69 levels, which trade sources say in some cases would amount to a one-third decrease. The textile and shoe import quotas could be increased 5 per cent each year after that until 1976 when the quotas expire.

The bill also would set tariff-rate quotas on mink furskins and clycine, a chemical used in drugs and some foods, and establish a formula under which U.S. industries could force quotas or tariffs against other foreign products by proving imports are so high that they injure the American markets. It would perpetuate the oil quotas now imposed by administrative, not congressional authority. emiy tions for the commission would have to be put to a vote of the people, Olson said it's obvious Laurel doesn't have enough votes to reject or approve any provisions. State law allows the commission to recommend anything from consolidation of two or more offices to entire city-county consolidation.

(AP) -Linus Pauling, the scientist who won two Nobel prizes, says an effective cure for the common cold is as simple as a walk to the corner store.

Vitamin can do the job, but people have not been making proper use of it, he said Thursday. If they did, there would be no more colds, he said at a news conference to discuss his book, "Vitamin and the Common Cold," scheduled for publication Dec. 7. WASHINGTON (AP) A quota-setting trade bill that would throw up Congress's most formidable new barriers against foreign goods since 1930 has passed the House, but Senate approval is in doubt. Opponents said the controversial bill to limit textile and shoe imports would touch off a world trade war.

Backers said it would protect threatened U.S. industries and jobs. It passed the House 215 to 165 Thursday night with trade lobbyists filling the galleries. Nixon administration efforts to cut the bill back to the President's request for textile quotas only plus a tax incentive to boost U.S. exports didn't even come to a vote.

But administration supporters said Nixon will make no decision on whether to veto the bill until he sees how it comes out of Congress. Senate opponents led by Sens. Jacob K. Javits, and.
