Vishinsky’s Boner Charge Ignites Berlin Debate at UN
At the UN Security Council Western officials say Andrei Vishinsky alienated neutrals by challenging mediation motives in the Berlin crisis. A French delegate called his move a boner, while others say he shifted neutrals against Russia. Vishinsky refused to discuss Berlin, citing Soviet rights, as Bramuglia led six neutrals to seek a solution. The neutrals planned further talks while the powers pledged to answer next session. The assembly also rejected a motion to remove Dr. Jan Papanek, with six Slav states supporting the move.
