Senators press veto on admitting Chinese Reds to UN
Two members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee urged using the U S veto to block any move to admit Chinese Communists to the United Nations. Senator George of Georgia argued Korea fighting requires strong security veto use, while Senator Smith of New Jersey called on Secretary of State Acheson to keep Communist China out of the UN by any means. The State Department signaled it would not veto but would not push the issue, leaving room for maneuver as Malik prepares to chair the council in August.
