U. 5. 10 Continue Fight
Against China Reds
Part in u. n. Disputes
BY the Associofed Press

United States today promised .
continuing fight against inviting
Chinese Communists to Securit,
Council hearings on Asian dis,
putes.
Ernest Gross. deputy American
representative in the Security
Council, said the United State!
attitude was the same on Commu.
mist Chinese charges that United
States plane strafed Chinese air.
strip in Manchuria land on the
false charges that we are guilty
of aggression in Formosa."
I'VE are for fact-finding COM
missions on these charges" he
added 1--WE are against allowing
the Chinese Communists to come
to the Security Council only to
make propaganda"
The United States is to renew
its fight when the Council debates
Monday afternoon whether the
Communists should be present at
Lake Success when charges are
aired that an American plane shot
up a Manchurian airstrip.
Peiping Radio Voices Stand.
The United States reported to
the Council last week that an
F-51 fighter plane mistakenly may
have strafed the strip five miles
north of the Yalu River. 1t prom
ised compensation if inquiry
shows this is true.
1t has proposed an India-Swe-
den comission inquiry on the spot,
but has not opposed Russian Dele
gate Jacob A. Malik's request to
give priority to voting again on
inviting a Chinese Communist
representative to the hearings.
The Peiping radio quoted an
Authoritative source" yesterday
saying that Red China won't ac-
cept any commission for an on
the- spot inquiry unless the Com
munists are allowed to seat
spokesman.
The Council voted Mr.. Malik
down when he first proposed an
emergency invitation to the Peds
last week. France is known to be
asking for new instructions from
Paris and Egypt's delegate refuses
to say what his vote will be, but
it was expected that Mr.. Malik
would not get six votes to support
his request. He needs seven votes
to win.
May Kill Commission Plan.
Neither the U. N. nor the United
States has been officially advised
of the Peiping radio statement.
But Mr.. Gross said that if 1t
proved authentic. it may kill the
India Sweden commission idea.
He indicated that there would be
no point in embarrassing either
India or Sweden-who @ve
diplomatic representatives in
Peiping-if the Chinese Com
say they won't accept
their good offices.
Mr.. Gross said the inquiry idea.
however, would not be abandoned.
The U. N. has other machinery
set up to make investigations and
Secretary General Trygve Lie
might be asked to set it in motion.
Mr.. Gross said a commission or
other investigating group could
take evidence on the spot from
anyone and the Communists
would have a right to be heard
there.
United States Will Not Use Veto.
The same, he said, goes for any
request to seat Red Chinese
spokesman during debate on
charges that the United States isl
guilty of aggression because of
its feet action to protect Formosa.
I'VE would favor similar fact
finding body to investigate on the
spot" Mr.. Gross said, land there
is no reason to have the Chinese
Communists come here"
He made plain that when the
United States votes against invi-
tations to the Communists, it will
cast its vote as procedural one
and will not use its veto.
The Manchurian plane inquiry
has priority, but if it is cleaned
up in one way or another Mon
day, the Council may get to the
Formosa question.
Mr.. Gross said the American
delegation will present more de-
tails to the Council when it gets
them from the U. N. unified COM
mand about the shooting down of
a Russian bomber last week. He
said there have been no more de-
tails so far. An inquiry commits
sion is not necessary in that Incl
dent because the unified command
is making the report, Mr.. Gross
said.
Mr.. Malik has been beaten on
earlier attempts to get Red China
seated in the Security Council,
either as a member or as an OBJ
server during debates on the
Korean conflict.
