Editorial Note
The United Nations Security Council met on September 5 from 3 to 7 p. m.; for the record, see U.N. document S/PV.495. At the meeting the United States Representative drew the Council’s attention to a communication from the United States Government (S/1758) dated September 5 relating to the shooting down of a bomber, bearing a red star insignia, which had attacked a United Nations fighter patrol off the west coast of Korea. The body of one crew member of the bomber had been recovered and identified as a member of the Soviet armed forces. Mr. Austin stated that the incident illustrated the desirability of adopting the United States draft resolution (S/1653) on localization of the fighting in Korea. In this connection, Mr. Austin also expressed United States concern at reports received of increased rail and road traffic in the area of North Korea adjacent to the Manchurian border.
