U N Security Council fights over China seat resume
The U N Security Council reopened amid a dispute over seating Communist China before Korea action. Russia's Malik pressed to place Korea after China on the agenda while the U S delegate Austin urged a single item agenda. Acheson accused Malik of violating UN charter by blocking Korea resolutions and lingering in the chamber to exchange barbs with U S and Chinese delegates. The session closed after Malik’s stubborn stance and clashes with rivals.
