;t was discovered that Lenore
Dawes was lasing her voice. This
might have spelled disaster for a
person of lesser stature.
“Instead, when her voice failed
her, she discovered in its place a
talent for poetry which sang with
splendor and majesty of those
poets she loved—Edna St. Vincent
Millay and Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
“Here are poems expressing the
author’s deep faith in God, her love
of beauty and panorama of life
and death. Here, as well, are many
sparkling gems in a lighter vein.
The rollicking Mental Bum’s Spring
Song, and the lively ballad about
an invalid named Min who out
wits her doctors are good examples
of the folksy humor that makes
Lenore Dawes’ poetry so worth
while.

UN ASSEMBLY
VOTES STOP
ARMS, CHINA
NEW YORK. May 18 —(A>)— The
United Nations Assembly today
voted an arms embargo against
Communist China in an effort to
cut off strategiv materials reach
ing the Reds from the Free World.
The vote was 47 to 0.
The Soviet bloc asked to be re
corded as not participating. Nations
abstaining were Afghanistan. Bur
ma, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Pakis
tan, Sweden- and Syria.
India’s Sir Benegal N. Rau ex
pressed fear the embargo would cre
ate another "psychological hurdle"
in the path of a peaceful settle
ment of the KoVean question. He
urged the assembly to make a new
peace gesture toward the Peiping
regime by issuing a formal declara
tion that UN troops would not again
advance north of the 38th Parallel.
Most countries outside the Cont
munist sphere already have halted
shipments to the Peiping regime.
The action was intended as an
other moral judgment against the
Chinese Reds.
Russia’s Jacob A. Malik and repre
sentatives here of the four Soviet
Satellite countries contested the
legality of the assembly’s action and
thus clearly indicated they would
refuse to comply.
The decision is significant for
two reasons: It represents the first
time the UN has attempted to apply
economic sanctions as a weapon to
stop aggressign; it may open the
way at a later stage for more se
vere measures such as a naval
blockade.
