The Soviet Union would intro- duce a resolution calling on the Assembly to halt the inhuman bombings" of peaceful populations by American planes. He would insist that the United Nations Commission, which had "fanned the embers of civil war" be dia- banded.

Opening the resumed‘debato on Korca, M. Vyshinsky declared that Mr. Austin had no reason whatever to make such charges.
