Once free, Korowicz asked Secretary of State Dulles for asylum in the U.S. (More than 200 other Russian and satellite diplomats have similarly sought safety in the West since 1945.) Then he sent letters renouncing his Polish credentials to U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and Madame Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit now president of the General Assembly (see INTERNATIONAL). He wrote: "It is... absolutely impossible for me to collaborate with these representatives-not of my beloved country-but solely of the Soviet regime in Poland...
...case of seven, the tribunal ordered U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to pay legal fees of $300 each and damages ranging from $6,000 to $40,000 (for an "anthropologist and African specialist" whose field, the tribunal said, was so narrow he would be hard put to find a job elsewhere). The other four Hammarskjold was told to reinstate in their jobs.

...British Commonwealth countries, the conference would be a failure if Russia were not there. The British hope to convert the Korean parley into a de facto Big Five conference and talk magniloquently of driving a wedge between Moscow and Peking. This week U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold implied that the British approach was "cooperative and constructive," and Cabot Lodge, bowing to the inevitable, accepted a compromise that was a U.S. capitulation in everything but name. In deference to the U.S., the Assembly might not actually invite Russia to the conference. It could simply recommend that a Soviet representative be seated...
