FAST ACTION ON TRUSTEESHIPS URGED BY U.S.

Delaying Decision for Legalities. By ROBERT J. MANNING

United Press Staff Correspondent LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov, T.— The United States today challenged other United Nations to establish the United Nations trusteeship council without delay. The American delegation warned against any effort to “import the veto system” into the general as-

sembly’s deliberations over the trusteeship program for dependent EE-TIME peoples.

The United States proposed that the 51 United Nations shelve for the present a potentially explosive argument over an “awkward and ambiguous” phrase in the United Nations’ charter provisions for a world-wide trusteeship system. The American action reportedly was aimed at anticipating a Soviet move to demand a specific definition of the charter provisions which would give each of the Big powers the right to approve or disapprove all draft trusteeship agreements. Fears Argument and Delay

John Foster Dulles of the American delegation told the assembly's trusteeship committee that an effort to define the charter now would “give rise to argument and delay.” © : Mr. Dulles outlined American policy on trusteeship in the wake of the United States -announcement that it wants sole trustee-
