REVOLT AGAINST ~ THE UPPER HOUSE AT STRASBOURG
Strasbourg, Aug. 22.
The General Affairs Committee of the Euro- pean Assembly today worked out a plan to by-pass its "Upper House" of Foreign Ministers and bring important proposals to the floors of national parlia- ments.
Council of Europe members have complained hitterly ever since the present session started here a fortnight ago that Assembly recommendations for the United States of Europe were getting no further than the pigeon-holes of the Committee of Ministers.

Nevertheless, much bas ta happen, the minds of many responsibles statesmen must undergo radical change, before all countries whose participation is essential to success can be converted, Ancient unimosities offer le problem. They, it is fairly certain, are easier to overcome than the political, economic and cultural diversitles mutural to different roces and regions, and influenced by i languages. Stnäding high variety among the list of obstacles, nisu, is the reluctance of several governments, in- cluding that of Great Britain, in her case exercised by fear of disservice to the solid Commonwealth partnership system, to surrender a shred of sovereignty withou sufe guarantees against dangers envisaged or unless events dictate the decision ая Hobson's choice. Pubite opinion in this respect is far ahend of the politicians but theirs is the concern for the affairs of the State and a refusal to be tobogganed into an experiment ahead of clearer picture of the ultimate consequences is no matter for sharp criticism.

On the northern front, late reports indicated! that the North Korean thrust at Taegu was check- ed. Communist taclics of infiltration and flank) attacks cut off the 27th Regiment for a time.
