Things have been happening as rapidly in the United Nations Assembly as in Korea. The radical reform of the United Nations organization embodied in the Acheson plan was passed yesterday by the Political Committee fifty to five, with India and a few other countries abstaining. The prevailing conciliatory atmosphere, however, continued today when fifty-nine countries cast a unanimous vote to ask the Big Five to renew talks on world problems and tensions. It was fascinating to watch the shifting attitude of the majority, which, on the one hand, follows the U.S. in its policy of strengthening the authority of the Assembly.
