Self-Govt For Trust Territories: Latest UN Move
United Nations, Feb. 26.
The General Assembly today adopted a resolu- tion recommending that Britain, France, Belgium and Australia fix dates for the achievement of self-government or independence of trust terri- tories under their administration.
The vote was 44 to 14 with 17 abstentions. The opposition of the Western powers succeeded in killing one clause which would have declared the UN', firm conviction that "most trust territories are fully capable of attaining self-government or independence in the near future".

Oscar Wilde Quoted
In UN Debate
United Nations, Feb. 26. and other countries defended Britain, Ireland the United States today against Russian charges of "aubversion", saying they were meant to distract world attention from revolt-torn satellite Europe.
The British delegate, Sir Pierson Dixon, said the Soviet charge being debated by the General Assembly's Special Political Committee was typical of Russia's "stale United repetition of trumped-up charges" against the States, which he said had wasted much of the time of this and previous UN Assemblies.
