(No. 3) (Urgent)

Dulles resolution was only proposal before the Assembly. We voted for without speaking. Outstanding feature of debate was marked softening of original US reaction, similar trend obvious in US press. Assembly now awaiting reply of Powers concerned to Cease Fire and other provisions of resolution.

Australia and New Zealand voted against resolution and abstainers included Canada, South Africa, Portugal, Holland and Belgium.
