New York, Nov. 27.

Mr V. K. Kristna Menon, leader of the Indian delegation, said today that he would bring the Korean problem before the present session of the United Nations General Assembly ended, but he did not believe that detailed debate at this stage would be helpful.

The Assembly is due to finish on December 8. At the same time, Mr Menon referred to the Soviet Union's agreement to the Big Four Foreign Ministers' conference and said he hoped it would be the beginning of a "new adventure toward peace."

Mr Menon referred to both bases.
