New Regime Greets Old Red Nyet at U N Bay City Meeting
At the United Nations in New York the Malenkov regime blocked a general candidate for secretary general with a Soviet veto doubling as Russia vetoed Lester Pearson’s bid. The vote left Romulo of the Philippines short of a majority and Stanislaw Mikolaj for Poland with only one Soviet vote, as talks paused for private negotiations among the five permanent members. In California, Gov Warren welcomed about 600 Republicans at the San Francisco state central committee meeting, aiming to align programs with President Eisenhower’s 1953 54 goals, with Ivy Priest slated to speak at the banquet and state leaders outlining legislative priorities.
