finding an opponent in an I'M

who actually could and usually
did beat Joe to the punch.
That Walcott style was fair
enough, too. He shifted and
lodged and bounced away, took
short walks. What's wrong with
that? Nothing in the rules barring
such stuff. 1t was smart stuff and
belonged to fighting. A good part
of the time he was but few
steps away from Joe. Walcott
used those tricks for fighting

position, a hioned openings

Joe did all the forcing, true,
but it was Walcott who did most
of the fighting. Joe actually took
few chances.

U. n. Assembly Ready
To Condemn Franco
Without Other Action
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE
United Nations Assembly was ex-
pected today to take another SLAP
at Franco Spain without ordering
any positive action against the
Falangist regime.
Soviet hopes that the U. N. woulc
adopt such measures as economic
sanctions faded last week when the
57-nation political committee re.
fused to accept a Polish resolution
The Assembly was ready instead te
approve the final committee version
which merely reiterates moral con-
demnation Of the government Of
Franco and repeats the U. N. 194t
appeal for members to withdraw
ambassadors and ministers from
Madrid. All the ST nations except
Argentina have complied
The reaff1rmation resolution passed
the committee, 20 to 6, with 20 coun-
tries-including the United States
abstaining.
Further Action Unlikely.
Assembly approval of this decision
would leave the Security Council as
the next avenue for Soviet move
against Generalissimo Franco. How
ever, such actions in the past have
been initiated by Poland, which re-
tires from the Council January l
and a spokesman said his country
would not raise the issue before
leaving.
On the basis of the U. N. action
this year on the Spanish question
some delegates felt that no further
steps could be expected against the
Franco regime in the future, bar
ring unexpected developments. II
was believed, however, that Spain
never would be admitted to the
U. N. as long as Franco remained
In power
The Assembly also was expected
to give final approval to committee
resoluations declaring that Ireland
Portugal, Transjordan, Italy, Fin
land and Austria were qualified for
U. N. membership and requesting

ously in efforts to reach adjourn

Of the goal hinged on solution of

ments to sidetrack full debate on

Delegates generally felt, that the

be held in Europe despite Britain's
continuing fight against the tempo
