SOVIET BOYCOTT
> SPECIAL KOREAN COMMISSION Rec 11 pm NEW YORK. Oct. 31 When the United Nations Political, Committee voted to-day to send a special commission to Korea, Russia announced immediately that the Soviei bloc would boycott it because the committee had not consulted representatives of the Korean people. The resolution would empower the commission to travel through both the ' Soviet and American occupation zone* to consult Koreans on their desire foi the country’s future, but the Soviei boycott apparently dashes any, hope, that the commission would be allower. to enter Soviet-occupied Northern Korea which is now barred to almost all “ outsiders.” The vote on the Amencan resolution establishing the commission was 41—0, with seven abstaining and nine absentees.
