United Nations actions fill day with clashes over Indonesia
London Feb 9 Britain and the Netherlands dominated UN activity with a demand to reject Ukraine's bid for an investigative commission into conditions in the Dutch East Indies. The General Assembly urged colonial powers to advance self government and free politics in dependencies, and delegates backed a Panama-proposed drive to keep Francoist Spain from the UN. The council heard Bevin warn against a charter violation if it approved Ukraine’s commission idea, while Van Kleffens urged there was no case. Strikes and wage talks dominated industrial news with General Motors agreeing to an 18.5 cent raise for CIO Electrical Workers and talks continuing on steel and other industry disputes.
