As UNO Sec

By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Feb. 2.—Jovial Trygve Lie of Norway was installed as secretary general of the United Nations today with a pledge’ to ‘lead the UNO through its obstacles and difficulties as a “true international officer.” Mr. Lie was sworn into office by the general assembly president, Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium, during a plenary session. Mr. Spaak reported’ that the assembly was expected to adjourn within one week, by Feb. 9. The secretary general's installation came in the midst of a serious policy argument between Russia and Britain.” Delegates agreed the dispute presents the world organization with a test much greater than the Iranian compromise. Bevin Broadens Issue Security council members admitted that they saw no immediate method to draw Russia and Britain together from the extreme positions they took during the heated council argument yesterday over British policy in Greece.
