Chinese Reds Press
Aqain for Admission
To u. n. Assembly
BY the Assoeloted Press

nese Communists followed up
their charges of American aggres-
sion in Formosa today with new
demands that a Red delegation
be seated in the United Nations
General Assembly.
Chou En-lai, Peiping's foreign
minister. announced the names of
five members of a Communist del
egation he wants U. N. officials to
admit to the Assembly opening in
New York September 10. He
called on U. N. Secretary General
Trygve Lie TO make the necessary
arrangements to get them into
the United States for the meet
ing.
In a cable to Mr.. Lie, Chou re-
peated charges that Chinese Ma
tionaliSt delegates have "abso-
lutely no right to represent China
:. and must therefore be driven
out from all meetings and organs
of the United Nations"
Heading the delegation is Chang
Wen-tien, who was Chou's choice
last year to sit in the Security
Council. Every U. N. body has re-
fused to kick out the Nationalists
and Chang made no attempt to
come here.
Member of Chinese Politburo.
He is a member of the Red Chi
nese Politburo. American-edu-
Gated, Moscow-trained, he was a
Communist in the Sun Yat-sen
revolution more than 80 years ago.
The delegations arrival-if it
get here-would set the As
sembly boiling on the Chinese
representation issue from the very
start.
~. N. officials expect an early
challenge to the right of the Chi
rese Nationalists to sit in the AS
sembly. Such challenge could
come from Russia. Yugoslavia,
India or even Norway or Britain,
all of whom have recognized the
Communist Mao Tze-tung gov
eminent.
I A British spokesman said, how
ever. that it is unlikely that Brit
ain would propose ousting the Ma
tionalists now. The delegation
helped vote down Security Coun-
Gil President Jacob A. Malik's at
tempt to put the question on the
Security Council agenda this
month.
Nationalists Expect Support.
If an Assembly credentials COM
mittee brings in a report favor
able to seating the Chinese Com
nlunists and ousting the NATIONAL
lists, there is sure to be challenge
on the floor of the Assembly. Ma
tionalist supporters are certain
that a great majority of the So
members will uphold their right
TO the seats they now hold.
Another American-trained Chi
nese is on Chou's delegation list.
He is Chi Chao-ting, an economist
designated last spring to sit on
the Economic and Social Council
but denied a seat by the Council
vote. Chi has an American wife.
He attended several American
universities. including Columbia,
and worked with the Institute of
Pacific Relations.
{ The three others named to the.
Red delegation are Meng Yung-l
Chien, Ii Yi-Mand and Chou
Chih-ti. Nothing regarding these
is known here except that Meng
was designated a Chinese Com
munist representative to the trus-
teeship council early in the sum-
mer but was denied a seat.
The American delegation told
the Security Council yesterday
that it is willing to have the U. N.
go into the Red Chinese charges
of American aggression against
Formosa but that the Korean
question has to be disposed of
first. 1t called the charges "ridicu-
lous falsehoods."
I, Prisoner Accounting Sought.
. Meanwhile, Western powers
pressed their demands in the
United Nations tonight for an ac-
counting from Soviet Russia of
German and Japanese war pris-
oners still in Russian hands. Rus
sia contends that all have been
repatriated except few thousand
who were i'll or accused of war
crimes.
4 The United States, Australia
and Britain asked the U. N. last
Sunday to put the question on the
agenda for the General Assembly
opening September 10.
. Tonight they amplified their
request, accompanying it with
statements from occupational au-
thorities and Government officials
ii Japan and Germany. They in
dicated that about 100000 Japa-
nese and a like number of Ger
mans were unaccounted for.
