U.N. STILL STUCK ON KOREA

Mr Malik Repeats Charges

COUNCIL AGAIN ADJOURNS

(Rec. 8.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 22. The United Security Council to-day remained bogged down on the Korean question. Mr Jacob Malik, Soviet delegate and this month’s president of the Council, .opened proceedings by saying that the Soviet Union flatly rejected any idea of putting North Korea under United Nations trusteeship. He said the Korean people could establish their own government “Without American gauleiters.” Mr Mauk said the dispatch of new troops to aid the South Koreans would lead to ah expansion of the war. He then recapitulated such charges as that of “a colonial war against the ireqdom-loving peonies,” which he has been repeating since ne returned to the Security Council. - Sir Gladwyn Jebb (Britain) said that unless the Soviet Union's “mad, deterministic” ideas were abandoned, peace could not be final and the possibility of war must always be there. Mr Warren Austin (United States) said that if the Soviet Union wanted the fighting stopped in Korea it could be stopped to-day. “Therefore I hope the Soviet representative will understand if there is disgust at his apparent disposition to regard peace only as. an item of conversation.” The Council adjourned Until Friday.
