UN Assembly拒 condemnation of US over Korea war murders fails
The United Nations General Assembly rejected a Soviet demand to condemn the United States for alleged mass murder of prisoners in Korea by 45 to 5 after a marathon session. The vote occurred early morning as the assembly adjourned until February 24 on the eve of Eisenhower's inauguration. The Kremlin described the motion as a smear amid a tougher Red stance on Korea. Separately, a House committee urged a congressional probe into wartime atrocities in Korea, linking them to the Katyn Forest massacre findings.
