Reds Deny 2 Countries U N Membership
In New York on Wednesday the Soviet Union vetoed Western attempts to admit South Korea and South Viet Nam to the United Nations.

France abstained on Guinea, Iraq abstained on South Korea, and Canada abstained on South Viet Nam. The USSR also sought to add a North Korea recommendation to the South Korea decision, but the vote did not pass.
