SecurityCouneiIMeets
Today With U. 5. Set
To Block China Reds
BY the Assoeioied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 1.-THE
Security Council meets again this
afternoon to argue whether a
Chinese Communist spokesman
should be invited to attend Coun-
cil debates on charges that an
American Aaas strafed a Man.
churian air strip.
Ernest Gross, Deputy American
representative in the Council, said
the United States will continue to
fight attempts to get the Com
munists here "to make propa-
ganda."
He said his delegation favors
an on-the spot inquiry into those
charges and into charges that the
United States is guilty of aggres-
sion against China because of its
policy and action regarding For
moSa.
"This is a fact-finding prob
lem," he said. 1.-THE facts can be
found by United Nation commits
sions or other investigating bodies
on the spot and there is no need
for the Chinese Communists to
come to council meetings to make
propaganda"
u. S. Will Not Use Veto.
He made clear that American
votes opposed to inviting them
will be procedural, however, and
not an exercise of the veto.
The United States never has
cast a veto. Russia has used A
vetoes. Her 45th was ready to
stop setting up an India Sweden
inquiry commission on the Man
churian air Straf1ng charges.
Chinese Communist Foreign Min
lister Chou En-lai yesterday tele-
graphed q. N. Secretary General
Trygve Lie and Sir Gladwyn Jebb,
British president of the Council,
that any Council decisions on the
complaint against American air
activity would be illegal unless
Red China's representatives were
present for the discussion.
Peiping Issues Ultimatum.
The Communist radio at
Peiping earlier broadcast a state
ment that a U. N. commission
would not be admitted to Red
China until a spokesman for the
Peiping regime sits in the Coun-
Gil. If the Peiping regime follows
that up with an official notice to
the United Nations, Mr.. Gross
said the United States will not
insist on the India-Sweden COM
mission but will ask for some
other form of inquiry.
If Russia does not use her 45th
veto on the Chinese question, it
may be cast tomorrow when the
Council holds another closed
meeting. Sir Gladwin hopes the
Council will be able to agree then
on its yearly report to the Gen.
eral Assembly. The threat of an
other Russian veto hangs over it
because of its references to meet
ing on the Korean conflict, and
other meetings which Russia boy
cotted between January 13 and
August /.
