IUnification Of Korea
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 18. =
The United Nations Security
Council last night heard a United
States demand that any Korean
settlement provide for a unified,
independent nation. Later the
council adjourned until Tuesday.
Elewhere on the U. N. scene,
Russia extended her U. N. boycott
today to the General Assembly's
special Committee on Informa-
ton from Non-Self Governing
Territories. This was the 31St
U. N. body hit by the Soviet
strike boycott and the first since
Russia'S return to the Security
Council August /.
Meanwhile, Secretary-General
Trygve Lie asked the General As
sembly to approve a budget of
S45, ,45O,800 for the organizations
1851 operations. This represents
an increase of $3,809,027 over the
budget, much of which is due to
cost of moving into the U. Ms
new Manhattan headquarters.
The Assembly's Advisory Com
mittee on Administrative and
Budgetary Questions has recon-
mended that Mr.. Lies estimates
be reduced by $1,623,0 900.
Major Policy Statement.
Chief United States Delegate
Warren Austin made his coun-
try's major policy statement at
yesterdays public session of the
Security Council. The meeting
was preceded by a private
session at which Council mem
berS tried again in vain to
break the procedural blockade
imposed by their Russian presi-
dent, Jakob A. Malik.
Mr.. Austin said the primary
U. N. objective in Korea must be
cessation of hostilities. But "the
Korean people expect that when
their Gethsemane has passed,
they will all have the right to
freedom and unity" he declared.
His statement did not stipulate
whether the United States thinks
U. N. forces should go beyond the
38th parallel to conquer the North
Korean invaders Of South Korea.
1t refrained also from knuckle
blows at the Russian role in North
Korea and contented itself with
an appeal to the Soviet Union to
use its influence to end the con-
flict.
New Charges Made BY Malik.
In a brief reply, Mr.. Malik made
new assertions that the United
States is trying to extend the
scope of the war. He charged
that proposals for unified post
war Korea were made only to
hide civilian deaths from Ameri-
can bombing.
The Soviet Union, he declared,
will not use its influence in the
American way, the way Secretary
of State Acheson uses it with
(South Korean President) Syng-
man Rhee."
The session also heard attacks
on Mr.. Malik by Cuba's Alberto
Alvarez and China's T. F. Tsiang.
Mr.. Austin's speech was the
first official statement of full
United States aims in Korea
since fighting began June 25, an
American delegation source said.
Mr.. Austin declared, in substance,
that all of Korea must come un-
der U. N. supervision as a step
toward independence.
Peace Aims Made Clear.
He did not say whether this
would be accomplished by mih-
(tary conquest or by negotiations.
But he made clear that hostilities
must end in such a way that no
opportunity is provided for an
other attempt at invasion"
The Assembly discussion side
tracted further progress of India's
suggestion for a committee of the
six non-permanent Council mem
bers to seek a Korean peace set
tlement.
The Indian plan drew open sup
port at yesterdays meeting from
Yugoslav delegate, Ales Bebler.
An Indian spokesman said French
expressions also were interpreted
as support for the plan, but he
admitted other governments are
shying away until they see the
plan detailed in print.
The spokesman said this prob
ably would be done before Council
members meet again privately on
Monday in another effort to end
the procedural deadlock.
No u. s. Designs on Korea.
Mr.. Austin stressed to the coun-
Gil that "the United States has no
designs on Korea as a military
base, as has been asserted" Mr..
Malik said Tuesday that the
United States wanted Korea for
a springboard for further attack
on Asia.
"U. N. forces" said the Ameri-
can delegate, "are not fighting in
Korea and mobilizing their re-
sources all over the world in order
to further the political or military
interests of any country. They
are doing so because they believe
if they protect one small country,
they are protecting all countries
from political oppression and mill
tary invasion"
Mr.. Malik ignored a U. N. COM
mand report. circulated yesterday,
of operations in Korea between
July 20 and 81. In it the United
States called on other U. N. mem
bers for more speed In the dis
patch of forces to Korea.
Mr.. Malik was quick, however,
to read to the Council communi-
cations from North Korean au-
