Asian Meeting Debates Nuclear Weapons
(Rec. 8 p.m.) TOKYO, March 3. The first Asian regional conference of Unesco national committees today ended its five-day, 22-nation meeting in Tokyo. The conference passed 30 resolutions and defeated after a heated debate, a Russian and Indian attempt to put the conference on record as being against the use of nuclear weapons. A similar resolution against nuclear weapons was voted down earlier this week. Today’s attempt to table a motion for “ultimate” prohibition was stranded on the protests from the British and American delegates.
