For World Ban on Shipment Of
WorGoods Communist Chino

First Step Toward
Imposing Emborgo
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. May
l4.-The United Nations Sane
tions Committee today voted for
q worldwide ban on shipments of
war goods to Communist China,
The vote was II to nothing, with
Egypt abstaining.
The sanctions group, formally
known as the Additional Measures
Committee, is a 14-nation body
set up to consider punishment of
Red China for her intervention in
Korea. The committees vote is
only the first step toward imposi-
ton of the worldwide embargo.
Next, the bar must be debated
by the Political Committee of the
General Assembly and then by the
Assembly in plenary session. The
Soviet bloc is expected to fight 1t
to the last ditch in both forums
India, leader of the neutralist
group in the q. NJ. also is expected
to oppose the embargo as endan-
gering any chance of peace nego-
tiations with Peiping.
Acceptance Foreseen.
All signs point to eventual AS
sembly acceptance, however. and
the United States hopes adoption
will be by an overwhelming ma
jority.
British and French opposition
to the move, based on the fear
that it might enlarge the area OF
conflict, evaporated last week. In
formed sources said Conservative
protests in the British House OF
Commons about rubber shipments
to Red China plus much adverse
American comment helped change
London's mind.
Britain announced last Thurs
day that it was cutting of further
rubber shipments from Malaga tc
areas controlled by Peiping.
Pushing of punitive measures
against the Chinese Reds indicates
the extreme peSSimism with which
the U. N. regards the possibility

France. the Philippines, Turkey,
Mexico, the United States and
Venezuela. Yugoslavia and Burma
were named to the committee but
have refused to serve.
