Russia's Foreign Minister Molotov joined the Westerners in John Foster Dulles' Waldorf-Astoria Tower suite and came to quick agreement on Geneva's procedures and duration (about three weeks).

He is Chile's portly, polished Jose Maza, 66, a U.N. parliamentarian of ten years' standing. With Molotov protesting only mildly for the record, the Assembly voted for the sixth year (42-to-12) against considering Red China for membership.
