N. United States dominance in the United Nations will continue to decline, an international re lations authority from the Uni versity of Michigan predicted Thursday night, but communist nations won’t take over as the chief molders of UN policy. Dr. Inis L. Claude Jr., a spec ialist in UN affairs, told a Newberry College audience that neutralist forces are moving to the forefront as the United States’ ability to dominate UN policy continues to slip. Russia, he said, no longer plays “a permanent minority role” in the UN. But although the Soviets don’t lose every vote as they once did, he pre dicted that neutralists and not communists will play the lead ing role in shaping the UN’s fu ture. The anti-colonialism of em erging nations already has be come more important than Western anti-communism in molding the character of the UN, he declared. Claude said he believes the move toward neutralism will make the UN more effective in mediating future struggles be tween the big powers. The re feree’s function, he said, “is the most important value we can reasonably expect the Un ited Nations to have.” Dr. Claude, a political science professor and a prolific author who has specialized in first hand study of the United Na tions, said Americans expect too much and are unreasonably disappointed when the UN fails to accomplish the impossible. “After all,” he concluded, “nobody wants to eliminate the Church just because it hasn’t wiped out sin. And nobody has suggested abolishing the Uni versity of Michigan because we haven't done away with ignor ance. ” College to sponsor study in Spain A summer program in Spain, for college students and high school seniors planning to en roll in a college or university next fall, has been announced by Dr. A.
