| Description: | UN REJECTS RED MID-EAST DEMAND FOR INTERVENTION IN EGYPTIAN WAR United Nations rejects call for intervention in the Middle East crisis. New York, NY, United States of America (USA). MS UN Security Council. Various shots of delegates, they include Pierson Dixon and Henry Cabot Lodge. MS Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold speaking, giving news of UN cease fire appeal. "Today I have received from the government of Israel, in clarification of its first reply for my request of a cease fire, the statement to the effect that in the lack of Egypt’s declaration or willingness to a cease fire, Israel wishes to confer its readiness to agree to a cease fire." LS UN Security Council. MS Russian delegate Arkady Sobolev presenting his resolution calling for the United States and the Soviet Union to join forces for intervention in Egypt unless there is an end to the fighting within twelve hours. Various shots of voting. MS Cabot Lodge speaking, he attacks Russia's actions in Hungary. "Yesterday we learned of the butchery, which Moscow was in process of carrying out against the people of Hungry under the cover of, so called negotiations. Now we have the pending Soviet proposal, I submit in all candor that it sets a somber record of cynicism and indifference to the values of international morality. Soviet draft resolution embodies an unthinkable suggestion that Soviet military forces together with those of the United States should be sent into the fighting in Egypt unless the fighting stops within 12 hours. This would convert Egypt into a still larger battlefield." | |
