U. N. Speeding Action
On Korea After Tacif
OK on Crossing 3Sth
BY the Associafed press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 5.-The
United Nations moved full steam
ahead today to put into effect an
American-backed plan for the flu
ture Of war-torn Korea.
The plan. which grants tacit
permission for U. N. forces to cross
the 38th Parallel, won 47-to-5 an
proval in the 60-nation Political
Committee last night. There were
seven abstentions. Only the So
Wet bloc-which supported a ri
val resolution-voted against the
proposal.
Supporters Of the proposal
shrugged of fears that the Chi
nese Communists may intervene
in the Korean war because U. N.
military occupation of North
Korea will be necessary to en-
force its decisions.
Secretary of State Acheson told
a news conference that any group
looking to the world for recogni-
ton and for admission to the
U. N. would hesitate to challenge
U. N. principles. Communist
China is fighting for the U. N.
seat now held by Nationalist
China.
Plan Has 4 Main Aims.
The peace plan-sponsored by
Britain. Australia, Brazil, Cuba,
the Netherlands, Norway, Paki-
stan and the Philippines-has
four main aims. They are:
l. Acknowledging holding of
elections under auspices of the
U. N.-for establishing a unified.
independent and democratic Ko-
rea.
2. U. N. forces should not re-
main in any part of Korea longer
than necessary to achieve this
united government. This was
taken to mean that those forces
could pursue North Korean ag-
gressors anywhere in the country
north or south of the 38th Parallel.
8. Economic rehabilitation of
Korea. Supporting delegations
hope Korea will be a "pilot prof.
ect" to show what the u. N. can do
in this line.
4. A new U. N. commission of
seven members to see that the
plans provisions are carried out.
Six Members Already Named.
Six members of this watchdog
committee already have been
named. The seventh place has
been left open in the hope that
India will accept it.
India, considered here to be the
most influential of the Asian
states, had maintained a middle
course on the rival plans for Korea.
Her representative, Sir Bengal N.
Rau, introduced proposal yester-
day to set up subcommittee to
compromise the eight-nation and
Soviet plans on Korea.
This was defeated, but many
delegations hoped that India
would accept the majority will and
consent to lend her prestige to the
commission. The other members
are Australia, Chile, the Neither
lands, Pakistan, the Philippines
and Turkey.
The Soviet plan, defeated
Is to with eight abstentions, was
specifically similar to the majori-
ty proposal but was attacked byl
French Delegate Jean Chauvei as
placing North and South Korea
on an equal footing and attempt
ing to ignore North Korean ag-
gression land thereby escape it's
consequences.
Called for Cease-Fire.
Therefore, he said, the resolu-
tion was worthless" and imprac-
tical. He said the Indian COM
promise attempt also was impos-
sible because it sought ito COM
bine the practical with the i'm
practical"
The Soviet plan called for a
cease-fire, which North Korean re-
fused to obey when issued by the
Security Council June Is, and
withdrawal Of foreign troops be-
fore taking up the question of
the future of Korea.
The Political Committee also re-
jected two other Soviet resolutions.
They would have called on the
United States Air Force to cease
activity in Korea and would have
disbanded the present U. N. Ko-
rean commission.
The committee then voted to
take up on Monday a plan sub
mitted by Mr.. Acheson which Re-
publican adviser, John Foster
Dulles, said was the logical Sc
quence" following discussion of
Korea.
It would keep the General AS
sembly on 24-hour alert to meet
whenever the Security Council
failed to act concerning a threat
to the peace. It would also re-
quest member nations to earmark
part of their armed services for
U. N. duty.
The aim is to provide a force
ready to meet future aggression
Immediately and to prevent Rus
sia from hamstringing anti-ag-
gressive action through use of the
veto in the Security Council.
