U. S. Proposes Middle East and
Hungary Get Top Priority as Fall
Session of General Assembly Starts
. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., W—
The United States proposed Sat
urday that the regular fall session
: of the U. N. General Assembly
give high priority to long-range
plans to settle the Suez problem
and the Israeli-Arab differences.
U. S. Delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr. addressed an emergen
cy session of the 76-nation assem
bly, urging the Middle East prob
lem be placed on the agenda of
the regular assembly “as a matter
of priority” and the assembly give
“urgent consideration” to two
U.S. proposals setting up machin
ery to seek permanent settlements
on both the Suez and Israeli-Arab
problems.
The proposals were sidetracked
by the assembly's efforts to get
the fighting stopped and to set up
an international police force tor
the Middle East.
Under the American plan, the
U.N. would establish special com
mittees to deal separtely with the
two main Middle East issues.
Lodge also proposed the regular
assembly give priority treatment
to the Hungarian situation
For the second time in six days
the assembly called on the Soviet
Union to get its forces out of
Hungary.
The call was contained in a
resolution proposed by Cuba, Ire
land, Italy, Pakistan and Peru. It
passed 48-11 with only the Soviet
bloc, India and Yugoslavia op
posed.
In the resolution, the assembly
said specifically for the first time
that “free elections should be held
in Hungary under United Nations
auspices,” once order had been
restored.
Bitterly critical of Soviet mili
tary intervention, it declared:
“The repression undertaken by
the Soviet forces in Hungary” vio
lated the U.N. Charter and the
1947 Hungarian peace treaty.
It also said foreign intervention
there was an “intolerable at
tempt” to deny the people their
rights.

All is well with the pig at the

However much Wyman may be
worrying about that, the pig isn't.
