Headline 15 Vetoes by USSR and One by China Lead to Rejection of 20 Applications for Membership

Caption Description Fifteen vetoes by the USSR and one by China in the Security Council this afternoon led to the rejection of the applications of 20 states for U.N. membership. China's negative vote barred the entry of Outer Mongolia, and the Soviet vetoes blocked membership for the Republics of Korea and Vietnam, Jordan, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Finland, Ceylon, Nepal, Libya, Cambodia, Japan, Laos, and Spain. The applications of Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Rumania were approved on an individual vote, but not in the vote on the blanket recommendation that all four be admitted to the U.N. This was defeated by a vote of 4 against, one in favour and 6 abstentions.
