LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, NOV. z.
With two specific proposals of
concerted action against Spain
added to the business before it
for consideration, the United
Nations Political Committee
meets this morning to start work
on the crowded agenda of the
United Nations Assembly.
Even before the Polish delega-
tion's leader, Wincenty Rzymowski,
filed the resolutions demanding that
the United Nations break diplomatic
relations with Spain and that Cen
eralissimo Frances government be
barred from connection with any u.
N. organization, the committee had
before it such major items as the
Soviet Unions arms limitation pro-
posal and the United States counter
plan.
1t Is the job of the committee,
under Craftsmanship of Dmltri Il.
Manuilsky, Soviet Ukrainian Foreign
Minister, to determine the urgency
of these items and assign them pri-
ority on the General Assembly
agenda.
Question Raised by Assembly.
The question of Franco Spain had
been put before the committee in
the decision of the Assembly to in
clude it for discussion, but the Po-
Ish resolutions were the first con-
crete proposals for action which
might be taken against the Franco
regime.
Actually, until the Security Coun-
Gil, which failed to act on previous
Polish proposal for break in dip
lomatic relations with Spain, drops
the Spanish question from its
agenda the Assembly may make no
recommendations However, the
Council is expected to drop the issue
from it's schedule when it meets
Monday, opening the way for the
Assembly to receive a report on the
Polish resolution from the Political
Committee, discuss them and recon-
mend possible action.
It is possible that the Political
Committee may turn first to the
Russian and American disarmament
proposals, since the two nations ap-
pear agreed on pressing the matter.
Other committees meeting today
are the Administrative and Budg-
etary, which yesterday heard Sen
ator Vandenberg's statement that
the United States was unwilling to
continue paying half the U. N. ad-
ministratiVe costs, and the Social
Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs,
whose major problem is refugees
and displaced persons. Both are to-
meet at pm.
Red Vetoes Blocked Action.
MIR. RzymoWski submitted the two
resolutions aimed at Spain little
more than "a hours ahead of the
deadline for adding business to the
General Assembly agenda. The re-
quest for a diplomatic break with
Spain was in substance the same as
Poland submitted to the Security
Council last April along with
charge that Gen. Franco threatened
world peace.
Disposition of that proposal by
the Council was blocked by Russian
vetoes and the question has been
dormant before the Council since
June 27.
The new Polish resolution said
that since the original complaint
against the Franco regime was sub
mitted, "the situation in Spain has
deteriorated and continues increas-
ingly to disturb and endanger in
ternational relations"
1t also proposed that the General
Assembly express sympathy to the
Spanish people and hope that they
"regain the freedom of which they
were derived with the aid and con-
trivance of Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany
