India withdraws from bid for Korean conference seat
UNITED NATIONS New York India withdrew from the race for a seat at the Korean political conference urging the General Assembly not to force a decision. Delegate V K Krishna Menon said India was not running but feared adding heat to the matter. The political committee passed a resolution favoring Britain’s Commonwealth bid 27 to 21, short of a two thirds majority. The United States welcomed Menon’s move as prudent while reiterating support for India’s later central role in Far Eastern affairs. Russia blocked a full debate on the issue with a 36 11 vote. The conference plan hinges on U S backed terms and would be set to begin by October 28.
