that no explicit directive is neces-
sary

Meanwhile. U.N Delegates, led by
Britain, rushed work on a four

Under this plan. Asians would be
called on to make up the greater

wise postwar Korea. A source close
to the indian delegation said his
country viewed the plan sympa-
thetically and might even become a
co-sponsor. The United States and
Canada are making contributions to
the plan which comes before the
59-nation political committee to-
