U.N. Security Council Votes to Have
Debates on Thailand’s Request for
Peace Watchdog Group for Indochina
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UFi—'
The U.N. Security Council voted
Thursday over Soviet opposition
to debate Thailand’s request for a
U.N. peace watchdog commission
to study the Indo'china War threat
on Thailand’s border.
It was the first time the Indo
china War crisis was put before
the United Nations.
Pote Sarasin, Thailand ambas
sador to the U.S., launched the
council debate with a charge that
the Indochina War not only di
rectly threatened his country but
menaced the legal governments of
neighboring Cambodia and Laos.
After Sarasin spoke, the council
adjourned indefinitely to allow
delegations to study the request
and get instructions from their
capitals.
The seven - year conflict thus
reached the talking stage in the
international organization whose
“moral sanction” U.S. Secretary
of State Dulles has made a condi- j
tion for American intervention in
Indochina.
Only the Soviet Union opposed
the Thailand request. That act
foreshadowed a Soviet veto.
In the council’s opening speech,
Soviet Delegate Semyon K. Tsar
apkin charged the move would j
hinder peace in Indochina. He
said it would interfere with nego
tiations at Geneva on an Indo
china cease-fire.
France switched from its pre
vious opposition to support put
ting the question on the council
agenda for debate.
Tsarapkin said the Thai request
would only serve the interests of
“aggressive circles” and the inter
ests of the United States by inter- j
fering with Indochinese armistice i
talks at Geneva.

Brownell Accused
Of Starting Army
McCarthyHearings
WASHINGTON, WV—Roy M.
Cohn said Thursday that Atty.
Gen. Brownell or his assistant
“instigated” the Army-McCarthy
hearings and that this constituted
a “stacked pack” against the Mc
Carthy side if perjury charges
develop from the hearings.
Cohn threw out this charge in
the 26th day of the Army-McCar
thy hearings as Sen. Jackson
pressed a series of “true or false”
questions to Cohn.
Cohn testified under oath it
was “true” that the Army filed its
charges against McCarthy and
him after failing in “blackmail
attempts” to try to halt the Mc
Carthy subcommittee investiga
tion of the Army.
Jackson read the perjury laws
to Cohn and reminded him that
Stevens and Adams had testified
the “blackmail” charge was false.
Cohn insisted this charge had
been “proved” by testimony from
senators on the subcommittee it
self.
Cohn referred to testimony by
the senators that Adams had visit
ed them “to try to kill” a move by
the McCarthy subcommittee to
subpoena members of the Army
Loyalty Board. Cohn said one of
the senators (Dirksen, N-Illl had
said Adams “hinted” that if the
subpoenas were not dropped
“something else would be done.”
In the midst of Cohn’s testi
mony, the first of the much dis
puted monitored telephone calls
were put into the record. This
came when Senator Dirksen
read a transcript of three talks he
had with Secretary Stevens.
Since the early days o-f the tele
vised hearings, there has been
off-and-on wrangling over intro
duction of telephone calls on
which Stevens had his appoint
ment clerk, John Lucas Jr., take
shorthand notes.
Rev. and Mrs. Richard Closson
arrived this morning to take over
the Community Methodist Church
in the absence of Rev. Reeves
Havens, who is on vacation.
