GENERAL ASSEMBLY REJECTS MOTION TO SEAT PEKING Clash between American and Russian delegates
New York, September 19.
The United Nations General Assembly refused tonight to give China's 'Unit-
ed Nations scat to the Communist regime of Mao Tse-tung. The vote on an Indian proposal which would have given the Chinese Reds
UN membership was 16 in favour,' 33 against and 10 abstentions. The voting came after a clash between the U.S. Secretary of State, Mr. Andrai Y. Dean Acheson, and the Soviet Foreign Minister Mr. Vyshinsky. Mr. Achoson called for defeat of the Indian proposal which Russia supported with a companion resolution calling for the immediate expulsion of the Chinose Nationalists.
Mr. Acheson said in refer- ence to the Indian move: "Vote on it now and vote it
· down." There was loud ap- plause from the galleries.
Mr. Vyslinsky was leading the light to expel the Chinese Nation- afists and give their seats to the Chinese Comintinists. The ·Indlan resolution, adting for the seating of the Chinese Reds, beat the Soviet Union to the punch on the explosive issue but won the back- ing of Mr. Vyshinsky.
Galleries were packet as the Assembly's Afth session convened. The delegates of the 30 nations abserved a minute of silent rayer before they began their task.
The Assembly adopted a Cons- dian proposal to set up a seven- nation committee to study the questing of Chinese representation and report back to the Assembly with its recommendations.
The Soviet Foreign Minister, Andre Y. Vyshinsky, declared the Assembly's netion was legal and ineoireet, but he did not walk out of the Jammed and tense chamber.
After the Assembly adjourned last December, the Soviet illega tion boycotted meetings of other UN groups for seven months rather than s with Chinese Nu- tionalist representatives.
Russian moves defeated
The US Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Acheson, led the op- position to the play submitted by Judia's Sir Benegal Rau
"Vote on it now und vote it down," he urged the delegates from 50 nations a few minutes after the session opened
After almost free hours of de- bate, the Assembly defeated the resolution.
The Assembly also voted
down twa Russian resolutions, ane calling for the expulsion of the Chiness Nationalists and the other for the santing of the Chinese Communists. The votes were 38 to 10 with eight ab. stentions on the first, and 37 to 11 with eight abstentions on the second.

This remark brough! loud laughter from the pucked chum- ber as well as from the Commu- nist delegates to the Assembly.
Dr. Tslang denied the charge that the Nationalist Government had been reactionary and said that its founder, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, had stood for democracy and na- tional Independence.
