haittee Swas begged down IN debate.
The Belgian delegate said the pub
nc would think TIE Utao acted
rashly II 10 chose The Stanford
Greenwich site without fun lnfor-
nation on the cost involved.
The fraQ delegate said New York
was too big, too diversified and TOO
hectic for UreO deliberations He
said he never saw q day pass In
New York when some newspaper
was not attacking someone.
The steering committee unani-
nsously agreed 10 send 10 the AS
Sembly q Panaxnanian resolution
asking the UNo to boycott Tire
Franco regime Of spain. Roberto
Jimene1, delegate from Panama,
Droposd the resolution. He was

The Assemblies legal committee
approved the draft OF q convention
to be negotiated with the United
States which would require the
American government to pay an

headquarters ever were removed
from the United States.
Numerous Rights On Convention
The convention Will be trans
mitted to the General Assembly for
approval for use In negotiations be-
tween the UfsO committee and the
q. s. Government.
The long document set forth the
rights and duties OF the y. s. gov
government and the United Ma
tons with respect 10 the UNO site.
Il would give the UNO tnviolable
rights to the zone, air space above
It and the subsoil below, but not
the right to exploit minerals.
The United States would be re-
sponsible for expropriating and COM
pensating all interests In land ana
buildings in the zone. But the
United Nations would pay the
United States q fair price Tor
it.
Encouraged by Sen. Arthur VAN

OF this session.
Ukraine Charges Weak
The site controversy outweighed
in general interest the Ukrainian
charges made In the Security Coun-
Gil against British troops in In
donesia. The Council was expect
ed to dispose Of the case quickly
when It meets again Saturday, on
the basis that the British troops
were sent to Tndonesia by orders
Of Gen. Douglas Macarthur, SD
preine Pacific commander.
Delegates. were puzzled at the
weakness Of the case presented by
Danitri Manuilski. chief Ukratnian
delegate. He based his case en-
tirely upon newspaper clippings,
and backed down from his original
demands for withdrawal Of the Bri-
fish troops.
vandenberg's denunciation Of the
site inspection committees pro-
posal to purchase nearly IS square
miles of high-priced land Yves in
terpreted as abandonment OF the
position previously taken
by the American delegation. The

Without specifically criticizing the
geographical choice, Vandenberg
told the administrative budget COM
mittee that the proposed purchase
Of AZ square miles In q high-priced
area is fabulous and fantastic to
q degree which my widest imagin- |
alton cannot approve"
Vandenberg suggested that "the |
equivalent Of q comfortable college |
campus" should be sufficient for
The headquarters. He added that
The UNO should not become "a rich |
mans club"
'Tht UNO must impress itself
upon the world through deeds and
through articular conscience, not
with physical magnificence and
