Partial view of today's meeting of the Assembly's Political Committee, taken as complaint by the Union of Burma that the presence of armed Chinese Nationalist ""guerrilla"" forces in North Burma constitutes, aggression was taken up by the Committee -- the last, item on its agenda. Here, Justice U Myint Thein (second from right), Chairman of the Burmese Delegation, asks for suitable action by the UN to see that the forces ""submit to the procedure of being disarmed and interned or of leaving the country.""
