Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar, president of the UN Economic and Social Council, faulted the General Assembly for excluding four NGOs while allowing the International Chamber of Commerce to present items. The four groups World Federation of Trade Unions, American Federation of Labor, International Cooperative Alliance, and ICC were challenged over Spain's Franco ties. After hours of debate, the council ruled all four may submit items to the agenda, amid East–West clashes.
