Russia Cancels
Recognition Of
.Chiang in u. n.
Vishinsky Announces
Support for Chinese
Reds Bid for Seat
BY the Associated Press

!
longer recognizes the Chinese
Nationalist delegation as the
spokesman for China in the
United Nations.
This means the Soviet Union
will not consider the Chang Kai-
shek regime as proper member
of the Security Council. where
China shares the right of veto with
the other big poWers-Russia, the
United States, Britain and France.
Recently Yugoslavia was elected
to the Security Council, over Rus
sian protests, but Yugoslavia will
not share the right of veto when
| it takes its seat in January.
Peiping Reds Recognized.
The Soviet Union previously
broke diplomatic relations with
the Chang regime and accorded
recognition to the Communist re-
gime at Peiping.
Mr.. Vishinsky told the United
Nations Assembly he fully sup
ports last weeks message from
the Chinese Reds saying the pres
ent Chinese U. N. delegation can
not speak for China.
1--WE will not regard the Kuo-
mintang delegation" as repre-
sentatives of China. Mr.. Vishinsky
said.
The Soviet minister's announce
ment may have a far-reaching ef-
feet on big power consultations as
far as the world organization is
concerned. The Assembly is de-
batting resolution ealing for con-
tinuation of private atomic talks
among Canada and the five big
powers.
,, Action Due Later This week.
| Mr.. vishinsky's statement also
appeared to make useless recent
big power agreement for advance
consultations on Security Council
problems to see If they could re-
duce the number of vetoes. Rus
STA has used the veto Al times.
Any formal move to oust the
Chinese Nationalist delegation in
the Assembly probably would come
later this week when the Assem-
bly's 59-nation Political Commit
tee takes up Chinese charge that
Russia is aiding the Chinese Reds
Under U. N. rules, each of the
world organizations bodies settles
any controversies over it's own
membership. Thus, the Assembly
and the Security Council might be
called on to decide separately on
the Chinese representation issue.
The decision, however, is likely to
be the same, since the Soviet bloc
is in a minority in both bodies.
Western delegates had hoped to
avoid a showdown on the Chinese
recognition issue at this session,
but they are ready to stick with
the Nationalist government at
least for the present. Both the
United States and Britain were
said by their spokesmen to be
considering the question of recog-
nizing the Chinese Reds, but with
no action imminent.
| Atomic Control Climax Near.
Mr.. Vishinsky made his an
nouncement at the beginning of q
speech on atomic control as the
Assembly reached the climax
stage in this dispute, which is a
basic issue of East-West disagree
ment in the U. N.
Today's session also gave the
small nations their last chance to
try to forge some link of agree
ment between Russia and the
major Western powers on the
atomic issue. Observers believe
there Is no chance of bringing
about settlement now.
The focus of attention on the
U. N. shifted to Flushing Meadow
following bitter debate in the Po-
litical Committee at Lake Success
yesterday on rival Russian and
American-British proposals for
strengthening peace.
The Lake Success debate con-
tinues. Mr.. Vishinsky is sched-
uled to-address the Political Com
mittee there in the afternoon and
is expected to repeat his charges
that the United States, with Brit
aims help. is aiming at world dom
ination. The Western powers
have branded those charges as
falsehoods which may be designed
