SECURITY COUNCIL DRAMA
Nationalists And Soviet Russia Apply Veto
ALL APPLICATIONS FOR UNITED
NATIONS MEMBERSHIP REJECTED
New York, Dec. 13.
Russia vetoed 15 Western-sponsored candidates for United Nations membership today after Nationalist China vetoed the admission of Outer Mongolia.
After two days' hard debate and parliamentary manoeuvring, a vote in the United Nations Security Council late today brought the collapse of a package membership proposal for 18 nations which had been supported by 52 countries in the General Assembly,
A last-minute amendment to the package deal resolution by the Nationalists added South Korea and South Vietnam to the original list.
The Council elected to vote first on South Korea, putting Russia in the position of being the first country to use the veto. The Soviet delegate Mr Arkady Sobolev vetoed both South Korea
and Vietnam.
