Rhee Opposes Korea Election Plan At U N Session

In Seoul on October 14 AP reports President Syngman Rhee and his cabinet oppose a United Nations commission plan for general elections across Korea after North defeat. The plan, adopted at Lake Success by seven nations, would precede broad polls, though Rhee argues May 30 South Korea elections legally established the government and only North Korean opposition blocked full Korea-wide elections. The cabinet backed him, while U S sources also reportedly oppose unified elections, noting the South’s government was already formed. The plan envisions general elections following a period of military-imposed civil rule in the North.
