Mission Head Declares
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. 19.-The
United Nations Little Assembly
was warned today Korea may
blow up if the U. N. fails to
unite the north and south.
The warning was made by X. P. S.
Menon of India, chairman of the
U. N. Korean Mission. Mr.. Menon
few here from Seoul to ask the
Little Assembly for instructions
after Russia refused to admit the
commission to Soviet-occupied
Northern Korea.
, Mr.. Menon quoted Korean leaders
as saying "the United Nations is
our last hope"
"If this last hope, too, is shat
tered" Mr.. Menon said, Korea may
blow up, and it may be the begin
ming of vaster cataclysm in Asia
and the world"
Slav Countries Absent.
Mr.. Menon told the Little AS
sembly that the commission had
found it impossible to carry out the
U. N. Assembly's instructions to
hold national elections. This re-
suited from Russias s attitude of nom
cooperation, he said.
Russia and the fl, =, other Slay
countries were not p. ssent as the
Little Assembly heard the report of
the commissions failure. They are
boycotting this new U. N. agency.
Mr.. Menon said some members of
the commission were doubtful
whether the U. N. should attempt to
hold separate elections in the Amer
ican zone of Southern Korea. There
was strong belief, ,~he said, that this
might lead to a more difficult situa-
ton in view of the powerful military
forces in Northern Korea.
He said some informantS esti-

Doubts Free Elections.
This situation, Mr. Menon went
on, would make it impossible for the
United States to withdraw it's troops
from Korea for some time.
At the same time, Mr.. Menon said
the commission had received "a mass
of evidence" regarding restrictions
on, or deprivation Of, civil liberties"
inthe American zone. This, he said,
raised a question whether elections
could be carried on in a free at
This is a state of affairs" Mr..

all possible methods of ensuring
free elections and have, in fact,
