Bunch Interview
In their interview Tuesday

asked questions about current UN

understood while watching the
committees. When asked how he
felt about the idea of UN troops'
going beyond the 38th parallel in
Korea, he replied that planes al
ready had gone beyond the line
to bomb supply centers, so the UN
could take no other action.

works with the international chil
dren's fund committee. When they
asked the Indian delegate, Chak
