New African
Nations Defeat
U.S. 111 U.N. Vote
By TOM HOGE
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., W—
The Soviet and Asian - African
blocs demonstrated twice last
week how they can defeat the
United States if they vote to
gether.
The votes were not on key is
sues but they showed that the
West’s “automatic majority” at
which the Soviets have railed for
years, became a thing of the past
this session with the addition of
16 new African members to the
General Assembly, now composed
of 99 nations.
The votes indicate what could
happen if the nine Soviet bloc
nations and the 45 Asian-African
members teamed up on such is
sues as the Congo and the sweep
ing Soviet demand to abolish all
colonies.
The latest U S. defeat came Fri
day night when the General As
sembly voted to postpone elec
tions to the Security and Econ
omic-Social Councils. Nine mem
bers abstained on the proposal by
Nigeria, one of the newly admit
ted African nations.
Nigeria, speaking for the Asian
African bloc, sought postpone
ment because the special political
committee is debating the issue
of enlarging the Councils.
Two days earlier Soviet and
African-Asian blocs jammed thru
a move in the General Assembly
to suspend debate on the Congo
despite United States efforts to
keep it going. That ballot was
48-30 with 18 abstentions.
Western observers predicted
the United States may wind up
on the short end again when the
Soviet item on colonies hits the
Assembly floor. The United
States, allied with such nations
as Britain, France, the Nether
lands and Belgium, would not
want to vote for a sweeping call
to abolish all colonies. But any
American attempt to water down
the Soviet demand may run into
opposition from both the Soviet
and African - Asian blocs.
Rough Safecracker

"Dirty and Obscene
Western Literature"
BERLIN, UP)—An East German
father has been given a six-month
jail sentence for letting his son,
14, read Western literature.
The report in a Schwerin news
paper did not say which publi
cations offended the Communist
authorities, but lumped them all
together as “dirty and obscene
Western literature.”
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Koutchak
are the parents of a daughter
born on Sunday, Nov. 13.
