In U. N. Today Against
StaIemate Over Korea
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. IL
Brltain's' Sir Gladwyn Jebb was
slated to pick up the oratorical
ball today in Western attempts
to counter the Russian imposed
gtalemate on Security Council
consideration of the Korean
question.
With the West unable to per-
suade Russian President Jakob A.
Malik in both private and public
meetings yesterday to lift his
blockade, the Council headed for
the second scheduled meeting of
q campaign to out-talk Mr.. Malik.
The British delegate headed the
speakers list for today. The word
war was opened yesterday by
Warren Austin, United States
delegate, with a 3,000-word,
gloves-off attack. 1t likened the
Russian-backed North Korean
government to "zombie govern
ment" and blamed the Soviet
Union for the North Koreans at
tack on the United Nations
sponsored South Korean regime.
Mr.. Malik announced yesterday
he would answer Mr.. AuStin'S
biting charges at length. He was
expected to wind up today'S meet
ing with his speech, to give it wide
circulation-without an imme-
diate answer-during the week.
end recess.
Mr.. Austin charged that the
North Koreans were using Rus
sian-made tanks and guns. Mr..
Malik, replying briefly, acknowl-
edged the Soviet Union had fur
nished supplies to the North Ko-
reans but asserted these were all
sold to them before Russian occu-
patton troops withdrew from
Korea in 1948.
Mr.. Malik termed Mr.. Austin s
charges "SlanderouS statements
and hints" The Russian also
said that other delegates had
failed to shake his views in a
closed meeting that preceded the
open session.
Later he said fatty, to a pro-
test by the United States and
Cuba. that he would not rule on
the right of the South Korean
representative to sit in the meet
ing. His statement left the Coun-
Gil still in the procedural tangle
which has blocked further de-
cisive action on the Korean ques-
tion since he became council
president August /.
Assails North Korea Regime.
Mr.. Austin assailed the North
Korean government as an instru-
ment Of Russian imperialiSt de-
signs and as non-representative
of the Korean people.
To call them representative of
the Korean people, he declared,
must be only a tragic witticism
when addressed to those who |
know how quickly nationalism, !
patriotism and independence in
other countries have been crushed
to produce SubServient puppet
governments - Zombie govern
ments that breathe and speak
and act, but have no SOUL"
Mr.. Austin told Mr.. Malik,
slowly and emphatically:
"I am sure the distinguished
representative of the Soviet Union
will agree that it must have taken
many months to train the drivers
and gunnerS who are now mas
Sacring their fellow countrymen
and defying the United Nations"
in a long planned invasion.
Says Russia Could End War. |,
Russia, Mr.. Austin said, has the
power to call off the North Ko-
rean invaders and stop the bomb
ing and bloodshed. Instead, he |
charged, Russia is supporting the
North Korean regime in the
Council and is the only
great power refusing to denounce
the North Korean aggression.
"One has only to ask whose
planes, whose tanks and whose
training have made. it possible
for the North Koreans to defy the
u. NJ" Mr.. Austin said.
Mr.. Malik's previous proposal
for cease fire and withdrawal of
U. N. troops, Mr.. Austin asserted,
would send the U. NJ police away
and leave the bandits to plunder
