Growing Differences
On Korea Threaten
|. United Front in u. n.
BY the Associofed Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
3.-Growing differences between
the United States and it's allies
in Korea today threatened their
united front on major questions
in the United Nations Assembly.
Some delegates said the issues
must be ironed out before further
U. N. consideration of world
problems.
None of the differences involve
basic aims-all the allies want
an honorable peace. The issues
have arisen because the nations
have not decided to the satisfac-
ton of all how they should go
about reaching that goal.
Some of the allies wish the
United States would not be so
stiff and unyielding on all issues.
Others are interested in the re-
curing demands for a personal
meeting of the chiefs of state
of the big powers.
The consensus is that the
opening round of debate in the
assembly showed weaknesses and
divisions on the Western side
and that unusual efforts must be
undertaken to repair these
breaks.
Lodge in Washington.
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., chief
United States delegate. went to
Washington at the end of the
week for his first meeting with
President Eisenhower's cabinet
since the Assembly convened
September Is.
His opposite number on the
British delegation, Minister of
State Selwyn Lloyd, flew to Lon
don to tell Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden what he has seen
and heard here. Mr.. Lloyd is
expected back later this month.
The Russians, presumably
representing the Red Chinese
point of view, have warned the
Korean conference may never
take place unless the U. N.
adopts their proposal that GER
tain Asian nations such as India,
Burma and Pakistan sit in. The
U. N. majority has voted against
it.
India'S chief delegate, v. K.
Krishna Menon, continued be-
hind-the-Scenes talks with other
delegations on his proposal that
the Assembly make a formal re-
quest for a big power get-to-
gether. He was reported meet
ing some opposition, however.
U. S. Cool to Idea.
A number of delegates have
indicated they favored meet
ing of the Western Big Three
and Soviet Russia but were not
ready to commit themselves to
a formal resolution.
The United States has not an
nounced its position on Mr.. Me-
mons proposal but Washington
has been cool toward other SINH
lar suggestions.
Mr.. Lloyd's sudden departure
for London created considerable
stir at the Assembly. Some dip
lomatS pointed out it was unuS-
ual for the top British delegate
to return home at such a stage
in the discussions.
Mr.. Lodge took a string of
victory scalps to Washington
but he left grumbles of discon-
tent among some of the chief
American allies.
He prevented the re-opening
of the debate on the Korean
peace conference which Mr..
Menon and Russia's Andrei Y.
Vishinsky demanded vehe-
mently.
Korea at Bottom of List.
He succeeded in putting the
Korean issue at the bottom of
a list of seven items facing the
Political Committee, where the
real political decisions of the
Assembly are made.
He held the allied lines firm
against attempts of the Soviet
bloc to unseat Nationalist China
and give China's place here to
Peiping.
This holds only until the end
of the year, however. If the
Assembly goes on into next year,
the British and others who have
recognized Red China may seek
to raise the question of its rep
reSentation in the U. N.
Mr.. Lodge did not come of
unscathed. however.
Diplomatic sources said Senti-
ment in the allied group forced
him to make an important con-
ceSsion on the Korean peace
conference. This was his un-
expected announcement that the
conference itself could decide
whether the neutral" nations
should be invited after it met.
Another setback came when
the Political Committee ap-
proved an Australian motion
permitting the committee to
bring up the Korean issue any
time by a simple majority vote.
Mr.. Lodge said nothing in the
debate but voted with the Soviet
bloc in favor Of making the
