tonic radiation on the human body
to the proposed establishment of
memorial cemetery in Korea, the
following problems have been rails
ed by individual or groups of U.N.

by the United States ito establish
procedures for the receipt and as
sembly of Pathological information
collected by various states and the
results of their studies of radiation
effects upon human health and
safety"
The United States believes that
the United Nations Is the appro-
pirate agency for making such in
formation available on an inter-
national basis. A memorandum,
submitted by the sponsor, adds
that although scientific data avail
able to the u. S. indicate that
properly safeguarded nuclear test
ing does not constitute a threat to
human health" all possible infor-
nation should be made available
to all nations for their own evalu-
alton of the problem.
In addition, the Government of
India has specifically requested the
exchange of information on the ef-
fects of thermonuclear (H-bomb)
experimental explosions.
'The Question of Algeria" pro-
posed by Afghanistan, Burma, Eg-
ypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq,
Lebanon, Liberia, Pakistan, Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Thailand & Yemen.
The sponsors of this item have
called attention to the "deteriorat-
ing situation" in Algeria, a part of
the troublesome North African sit
uation, and have expressed the
hope that Assembly consideration
of this question will reveal its
grave potentialities" and, by ex-
posing the need for negotiations
between France and "the true rep
resentatives of the Algerian peo-
ple," will facilitate a solution
which would realize the national
aspirations" of Algeria.
Establishment and Maintenance
of a United Nations Memorial cem-
etery in Korea" proposed by
lombia, Ethiopia. France, Greece
Netherlands, New Zealand, Phil
ippines, South Africa, Thailand

The above IS nations whose
armed forces fought in Korea ask
that a u. NJ Memorial Cemetery
be established in Korea as a trib-
ute to the men who, pursuant to
the call of the United Nations, laid
down their lives in resisting ag-
gression in Korea and upholding
the cause of peace and freedom. y
The proposal suggests as site an
existing cemetery at Tanggok,
near Pusan.
"The Question of the Safety of
Commercial Aircraft Flying in the
Vicinity of, or Inadvertently
Crossing, International Frontiers, -
proposed by Israel.

sideration of this item, Israel calls
attention to the number of tragic
incidents of shooting down of COM
mercial aircraft innocently deviat-
ing from fixed flight plans in the
vicinity of or across international
frontiers" The Israeli Government

air passengers"
