U N Security Council Row Over Malik Ends as Jebb Takes Over
Delegates at the United Nations observed a tense session as Russia’s Jacob A Malik blocked actions for two weeks yielding to Sir Gladwyn Jebb of Britain who assumes chairmanship on August 31. Malik accused the U S of barbarous methods in Korea while Western delegates pressed Moscow’s responsibility for the North Korean invasion. Republican senators charged Democratic diplomacy failed, calling for a fresh U S stance to preserve lasting peace and regain initiative in the UN.
