Failure to Pay Dues May Knock China From U N
United Nations reports show nationalist China has paid nothing on 1950 and 1951 membership assessments, leaving over 26 million dollars uncollected for 1951 and totaling more than 42 million in unpaid 1951 dues.

Acheson and Korea War Policy Probed in Testimony
During Senate hearings on the European arms aid program and MacArthur’s ouster, Secretary Acheson says allies cannot be spared occupation today given forces available. He notes the defense department ruled out not pursuing enemy planes across the Korean Manchurian border. The state department relayed UN reactions to a plan but did not seek UN pass upon it. Military leaders confirm a late last year top level approval for a hot pursuit plan, blocked by objections from other UN members over widening the Korean crisis.
