Israel’s Application for U.N. Membership Cannot Be Coalesced, Trygve Lie Says

U.N. Secretary General Trygve Lie told a press conference that Israel’s application for United Nations membership cannot be challenged legally if peace is net concluded with the Arab countries In time for the special session of the General Assembly In April which is to act on the application.

The United Kingdom’s delegation at the U.N. today labeled “absolutely untrue” charges that Britain was using German prisoners of war against Israel. In a statement issued to the press, the delegation also reprinted a letter from the French delegate at the U.S., Alexandre Parodi, describing the charges as “being totally without foundation.” The Nation Associates, an organization headed by Freda Kirchwey, editor of the ###tion magazine, which published the charges, based its case on a French intelligence report.
