Editorial Note
The First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly held the first of two meetings on October 2 from 10:45 a. m. to 1:30 p. m.; for the record, see U.N. document A/C.1/S.R.348. No voting action [Page 835] took place during this session which was devoted mainly to a lengthy speech by the Soviet Representative (Vyshinsky), followed by a shorter statement from the Korean Representative (Limb).
The Committee met again from 3 to 5:25 p. m.; see U.N. document A/C.1/SR.349. The meeting was taken up principally by statements by the Polish, Byelorussian, and Czechoslovak Representatives speaking in opposition to the eight-power draft resolution and the work of United Nations Commission on Korea. A draft resolution (U.N. document A/C.1/567) on the Korean question was submitted by the Soviet, Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Czechoslovak, and Polish Delegations; for the text, see telegram Delga 63 from New York received at 7:24 p. m. on October 2, page 838.
In addition, two other draft resolutions were introduced by the Soviet Representative on October 2; one called for the cessation of United States bombing in Korea (A/C.1/568), the other called for disbandment of United Nations Commission on Korea (A/C.1/569).
