Russians Use Veto Again On Italy's UN Bid
The Soviet Union vetoed Italy's bid for United Nations membership for the third time, nine to two in the Security Council with Ukraine voting against. US delegate Warren R. Austin denounced the move as a betrayal of the council's will and warned it could be tied to Italy’s upcoming elections. Gromyko accused Washington of aiming to influence Italian politics and vetoes as a tactical maneuver. Britain, the US and France had already reopened Italy's application, noting previous Russian vetoes in 1947. Austin urged the General Assembly to find a way to grant voice to nations blocked by a single power.

Bill of Rights Debate In Ottawa Moves to Supreme Court
In Ottawa on April 10 John Diefenbaker urged Parliament to seek a Supreme Court reference on whether Parliament has constitutional power to draft a Canadian bill of rights. He accused the government of dodging this issue and called for an immediate court reference to determine federal jurisdiction over fundamental freedoms and protections. The cabinet, citing provincial opinions, reportedly believes the Dominion lacks such power. Veterans’ allowances were also debated with a proposal to raise monthly benefits by ten dollars, while critics called the plan insufficient and tax changes urged. The house passed second reading on 158 divorce bills and rejected a CCF bid to lift Bell Telephone capitalization to the railway committee.
