UN Berlin Move Hurts US In Asian African Bloc
Diplomatic observers say Washington’s neutral stance in the Tunisian dispute has weakened support among Asian African nations for United Nations action on Berlin. Delegates note U S hesitation to condemn France over Bizerte and Tunisia costs votes in a 99 nation assembly, with Iran Pakistan the Philippines Thailand and Turkey among those backing a special Tunisia session. The Asian African group is three votes from a majority and could gain momentum early next week, challenging Adlai Stevenson’s push for direct negotiations.
