Pakistan and Yemen Accepted for U. N. Out of 12 Applicants By th« Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 19.—The largest Moslem state in the world and one of the smallest stood forth today as the only countries accepted out of a dozen considered for new membership in the United Nations. They are the new Dominion of Pakistan, created by the partitioning of India last week end, and the Red Sea kingdom of Yemen. Their bids for membership were j approved unanimously yesterday by! the Security Council and are vir tually certain of final ratification by the 55-nation General Assembly when it meets in New Yo'k Sep tember 16. In a series of rapid votes, applica tions from Ireland, Portugal and Trans-Jordan were rejected by So viet vetoes, while Albania and Outer Mongolia failed to muster the nec essary seven affirmative ballots. All five had been refused admission in 1946 also. Soviet Vetoes Now Total 14. The vetoes ran Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko’s string to 14. Applications from Italy, Austria, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria were put off until Thursday after the Soviet Union was voted down in a demand that all be held up until the peace treaties were ratified. > Ireland, Portugal and Trans jordan all drew nine affirmative votes. Poland joined Russia in op posing Portugal, but abstained on x the other two. Russia, Poland and Syria sup ported Albania, which was opposed by the United States, Britain, Bel gium and Australia. France, Brazil, Colombia and China abstained. Outer Mongolia drew the same sup port but was opposed by the United States, Britain and China. The big power veto did not apply in either case because both applications auto matically failed through failure to get seven votes. The entry of Yemen, a country of . 3,500,000, strengthens the hand of the Arab League in the United Na tions and adds a sure vote against the Zionists in the Palestine issue, now being studied by a special com mittee of the U. N. Assembly. Voices Doubts on Independence. Five other Arab League states are charter members of the U. N. They are Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. Mr. Gromyko said his opposition to Trans-Jordan was based on doubts over the independence of the Hashemite kingdom, which was split off from the Palestine mandate by Britain and declared a sovereign eta to It was the second time in a year that Mr. Gromyko had vetoed Trans-Jordan and the other two. The Council went counter to pleas from Council President Faris el Khoury of Syria and Trygve Lie, secretary general of the U. N., in refusing to accept Albania, Outer Mongolia, Trans-Jordan, Portugal and Ireland. Both asked approval of the applications to carry out the principle of universality of the U. N. They also suggested that the delegates accept Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and Austria along with the others subject to a final ratification of the peace treaties. The suggestion never went to a vote because China, a veto-armed member, said she would oppose it.

The complete message follows: “Our expedition has been found by Polynesian natives, who have moved us 6 miles in their canoes across the lagoon. We are now on an island containing 120 natives who have given us a tremendous reception and show great hospitality. “A high tide and strong seas have washed the raft over the reef and into the lagoon. We have spliced the mast and plan to sail the raft here to the native village. "Radio troubles continue, but all else is fine.” The message was signed by Thor Heyerdahl, leader of the expedition which sailed and drifted 4,360 miles from Callao, Peru, to the Tuamotu Archipelago.
