UN For Condemns Jailing of UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec. 10 (W)—The United Nations General Assembly by the smashing vote of 45-5, today condemned Red China for jailing 11 American airmen as spies. It appealed to Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to do. his utmost to obtain their release and that of hundreds of other UN personnel captured in the Korean War and still detained by Peiping. Hammarskjold immediately ac cepted the responsibility, saying, "I will do all in my power to serve the interests of the • organ ization." He already had set in motion the machinery of his office but he declined to indicate what steps were being taken. It is known that he regards this case as per haps the greatest challenge ever to face the secretary general since the UN began work in. 1946. Stubborn Soviet bloc resistance to the resolution and its repeated claims the airmen were ."spies" who got what. they deserved in dicated the Red Chinese, as of the present, will ignore ..the .UN ac tion. An Indian attempt on: a ten tative basis to see what. could be done has been firmly rebuffed by Peiping. Hammarskjold conferred after the . vote with.
