Austin threatened to cast the first American veto to block any candidate but the fifty-four year- old Norwegian. Lie was not present during tho voting.

Vishinsky had taken the rost- i rum twice to denounce Lie as one i and a "stooge of the Arreri- ean (delegation," and had declared that the action in extending his term without a recommendation from the security coun- il, as provided by the charter, was illegal. Vishinsky said Russia would not regard Lie as secretary -general after next Feb 2 and would refuse to deal with him.

S. First Cavalry Division went to the aid of the hard-pressed South Koreans in the I nsan area. The yanks encountered stiff resistance immediately after relieving a republican regiment in the region of Unsan at 6:30 p. m. Wednesday.

Across Korea on the east coast, the U. S. Seventh Division, veterans of the fighting for Seoul, replaced troops of the South Korean eapitol division in the Pungsan area seventy miles northeast of Hamhung. The couth Koreans had i lost four miles to the Communists I in that sector south of the Chosin reservoir earlier this week. In the Hamhung area, long columns of First Marine Division trucks moved leathernecks north for th" final drive to the border.

Two days ago the South Koreans were fighting on that front against fanatical Red Banzai i charges which sent them back 'more than six miles to within an jeep ride of Hamhung. WHEREAS' an, Kill.
