SOVIET DEMANDS
END TO AIR RAIDS IN KOREA
Lake Success, Sept. 7.
The Security Council today rejected a Soviet resolution demanding that the Council order the United States-to end air raids on Korea. The vote was nine to one with only Russin in support. Yugoslavia abstained.
The vote came after the United States had notified the Council that the "care and solicitude of the United Nations" air forces for Korean civilians contrasted with the Communist practices of using civilians as human screens for ground attacks and of shooting unarmed, bound prisoners of war.
