The United Nations Security Council will resume debate
Thursday on the problem of Chinese CommunisLtroops in Korea,
The meeting will begin at 3 p.m. EST (12 noon PS l) and was
called by Council President Ales Bebler of Yugoslavia.
Meanwhile., the nine-man Chinese Communist delegation left
China by plane Monday for Lake Success, according to Peiping
radio. The delegation is headed by Wu Hsie-chauen, who will be
PeipingVrepresentative if China is admitted to the United Na
tions.
The broadcast mentioned that the delegation was making the
trip to attend debates on China’s charges of U. S. “aggression”
against Formosa. Nothing was said about the U. S. charge that
Red China has intervened in North Korea.
The Most Northerly. . .
. . .G. I.’s in Korea are in a region where low temperatures average
11 degrees above zero this month and five below zero during Decem
ber. The information comes from a military temperature chart and
it appears to be fairly accurate.
Reports from the front indicate that both sides are spending most
of their time trying to keep warm. However, the U. S. Seventh Marine
regiment captured Hagaru, on the southern tip of Changjin Reservoir.
No opposition was reported.
All reports indicate the Chinese Communists are well prepared for
the low temperatures, but U. S. troops are only now receiving arctic
clothing.
"Red Star"...
. . .the Russian army newspaper has reported that the Chinese
army is nearing the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. They also reported that
“Tibetan patriots are giving active support to units of the people’s
liberation army. They are coming out against the treasonous policy
of the authorities at Lhasa who consist of representatives of the
clerical aristocracy and feudal lords, lackeys of English and Ameri
can imperialists.”
Assassian Rafael Urbina...
. . .leader of the group which shot and killed the acting President

Ten candidates are running for the office, but the official winner
won’t be known until the country’s one-chamber congress proclaims
the news after receipt of official count, within the next two weeks.
The Sheffiled Peace Congress. . .
. . .has been scuttled because of the British government’s refusal to
admit hundreds of alien communist leaders. And so the whole meet
ing was moved to Warsaw, Poland, but the British government is
again fouling up the deal. According to Ivor Montague, chairman of
the Congress Organizing Committee, officials were hindering the
exit of foreign delegates to the new meeting place.
