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

Caption Description China's negative vote in the Security Council 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 picture, taken before the opening of the meeting, shows the President of the Council, Sir Leslie Munro (center) of New Zealand, having an informal discussion with representatives and U.N. officials. On Sir Leslie's right are Messrs. Arkady A. Sobolev, of the Soviet Union, and Dragoslav Protitch, Under-Secretary of the U.N. for Political and Security Council Affairs.
