Russia Rebuffed
In u. n. on Seat
For Red China
Soviet Loses 2 Other
Pleas; Aeheson in
Clash With Vishinsky
BY the Associated Press

Union today ran into a series Of
rebuffs in the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly. The Assembly re-
fused to consider giving China's
seat to the Peiping Communists,
agreed to take up Western plan
designed as a first step in reunit-
ing Germany and decided to con-
slider a Yugoslav complaint of hos
tile Soviet actions.
The vote against considering the
Chinese representation question
was 81 to II, with four nations
abstaining. 1t followed a sharp
clash between United States Sec
retary Of State Acheson and Soviet
Foreign Minister Vishinsky.
Mr.. Acheson told the 60-nation
Assembly "our minds revolt" at
the thought of giving Chinas seat
to regime now engaged in kill
ing the countrymen of at least a
score of the nations seated here"
He said the Chinese Communist
government was now under in
dictment" as an aggressor in
Korea and urged the delegates
to vote postponement of the ques-
Ition for this session to enable us
to go on with our business with
out further obstruction.
Blistering Attack by Acheson.
Mr.. Acheson, in blistering at
tack on Red China, objected to
consideration of the question "at
/ the very time when its interna-
tional conduct is so low that it
would take considerable improve
ment to raise it to the general
level of barbarism."
Mr.. Vishinsky, who spoke first,
insisted that the Nationalist
Chinese had no right to repre-
sent China and, moreover, the
Assembly had no right to decide
not to discuss the issue this year.
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, representing
Britain which has recognized Red
China, said his government sup
ported a Thai resolution post
poning consideration of the prob
lem of Chinese representation at
this session. He said Britain did
so because of Red Chinese aggres-
sion in Korea.
The Assembly, moving toward
adoption of its agenda also:
| l. Agreed. without dissent, to
consider diverse disarmament
plans presented by the Western
big Three and the Soviet Union.
The Western plan includes a CEN
sus of atomic weapons under the
~. N. supervision. The Russian
plan calls for a disarmament
conference outside the United
Nations.
2. Defeated a Russian attempt
to force off the agenda a long
standing charge by Nationalist
China that the Soviet Union is
guilty of aggression in China.
Rejection Vote Is 47-6.
The vote on the German ques-
tion was ATS with two absten-
tionS. The Assembly rejected the
contention of Mr.. Vishinsky that
the German problem was none of
the Assembly's business.
The United States delegation
expressed hope the 6O-nation Po-
litical Committee would make it's
first item the Western plan for
arms limitation, which calls for
a worldwide arms count under
foolproof supervision.
Mr.. AcheSon himself will lead
the floor fight for adoption of the
proposals, delegation sources said,
1t will be the first time the Secre-
tary of State ever personally led
a committee fight and this indi-
Gates the Importance the United
States attaches to the Joint
Observation-Disclosures plan.
Soviet Delegate A. A. Sobolev
opened bitter attack on the Yu-
goslav item, but was voted down.
"A to S, the Soviet bloc voting in
opposition and the four nations
abstaining.
The Western plan on Germany.
as outlined by Mr.. Acheson and
British Foreign Secretary Eden,
calls for establishment of an i'm
partial, international commission
to investigate whether conditions
In both West and East Germany
are suitable for holding elections.
Both Mr.. Acheson and Mr.. Eden
said it was designed to lead to
eventual unity of Germany, and
was introduced at the request of
West German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer.
I beg to differ" Mr.. Vishinsky
said in a slashing attack on the
plan today. France, Britain and
the United States want first and
foremost to perpetuate the dis
memberment of Germany" he
said.
Mr.. Vishinsky claimed that es-
tablishment of such a commission
would violate both the charter of
the United Nations and the Pots
dam agreements.
