U S Veto Questioned to Bar Red Chinese at U N

Washington July 29 two members of the Senate foreign relations committee said the United States should block any move to admit Chinese Communists to the United Nations even if it requires a veto. Senator George D. Ga. urged using the veto to prevent Mao Tsetung representatives from joining the UN. Senator H Alexander Smith of New Jersey pressed Secretary of State Acheson to act clearly to keep the Chinese Communists out. The State Department has held it unwise for the UN to admit Mao's government now but would not veto if a showdown arose. The status left U S diplomats free to maneuver with Jacob Aik taking over as August Security Council chairman. George said Korea shows the North Korean attack is Communist inspired and violates the UN charter, warranting a veto if needed. Smith warned until Russia agrees not to veto, the U S cannot bind itself on major questions. He noted the President ordered forces to defend the Nationalists on Formosa and argued it would be inconsistent to defend Formosa but recognize a rival government in the UN.
