CANADA AND ARGENTINE BECOME NEW MEMBERS OF SECURITY COUNCIL
Recd. 6.45 p.m. New York, Sept. 30 The United Nations Assembly elected Canada and Argentina to the Security Council on the first ballot today, to succeed Australia and Brazil, who are retiring on December 31. They will serve two years. Voting for the third member to succeed Poland, who retired, ’ developed into a bitter struggle between the Ukraine and India, and as neither could muster the necessary majority after seven ballots, further voting was postponed until to-morrow. Canada's election had been regarded as a certainty. Argentina's success also was expected, as she was “preelected” by the Latin American bloc, and thus received the support of the United States, which had undertaken to vote for any country unanimously chosen by the South American Republics to succeed Brazil.
