Many people in South Korea served as cannon fodder in the
aggressive war against the Korean Democratic People’s
Republic unleashed by the U.S. imperialists. As a result, a
-considerable number of children were deprived of their

parents and rendered orphans.

Now these orphans are

either roving in the streets or eking out a living by polish-
ing boots of the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.

Poland and Turkey

to share vacant seat

NEW YORK—tThis year’s United Nations General
Assembly ended ‘its 13-week-long session here by finding,
in its last hours, a compromise solution for the deadlock
over a vacant seat on the Security Council.

Poland is to fill for a year,
and Turkey, which was run-.
ner-up in 51 inconclusive bal-,
lots, will sit for the succeed-
ing year.

Vassily Kuznetsov, Soviet
deputy foreign minister, point-_
ed out that this agreement did
not mean the Soviet Union was |

Security Council. :

The Assembly also voted by
39 votes against 22, with 20°
abstentions, to demand talks.
to end the Algerian war on
- the basis of self-determination.
This was. just. two votes short’
of the two-thirds majority nec-:

paragraphs of the resolution:

Previously, the Soviet Un-

grounds that one Power could

from being taken by operating
a “veto.”

Making his proposal to do
away with the veto, Tsaraplin
said that “it fades away like
old generals.”

Further, if the West agreed
with the proposal for the
make-up, of the commission,
the Soviet Union would be pre-
pared to agree that the staff of
each control post, consisting of
around 30 persons, should be
one-third from the Soviet Un-
