Noon).— The United Press Paris correspondent says that the legal committee of the European Assembly today voted by 13 to seven for the establishment of an International Court of Human Rights to guarantee basic freedoms in Europe.

The new court, if approved by the assembly, will hear cases referred’ io it by a commission of inquiry, the establishment of which also was proposed by the Legal Committee today.
