DURING U.N. DISCUSSIONS Heated Exchanges Over Germ Warfare Charges
United Nations, May 8.4
Russia's Jacob Malik sought today to parade Communist germ warfare charges before the United Nations again and was ruled out of order by the Chinese Nationalist Chairman who silenced the shouting Russian.
The Russian sought to bring before the United Nations Disarmament Commission the Communist allegation that two American fliers had "confess- ed" to dropping germ bombs on Red Chinese and North Korean troops.
The Nationalist Chinese delegate, Dr T. F. Taiang, Chairman of the 12-nation Commission for May, rapped his gavel and interrupted with these words: "This Commission has adhered to the proposition that any discussion of germ warfare is out of its com- petence."
M. Malik, his colour rising with his voice, said that he was unly attempting to reply to the Cuffed States delegate, Mr Ben- tamin Cohen, who angered carlier In the meeting by renewed Russian charges that his country is waging bacteria- logical warfare had asked for a clarification of the Soviet Union's position on the issue,
