Ihe Eisenhower Administration apparently is atyjg to slow down a Republican movement for jjjawal from the Lnited Nations if Communist is admitted, a ‘‘New York Times” correspondent from Washington tonight. Th* Secretary of State (Mr Dulles) is understood to have to some senators friendly to the Administration •' 3 commit America in advance to withdrawal would be There was no suggestion that Mr Dulles had been vehement that the Administration was putting on actual or direct usure to restrain Congress, the correspondent said. Th* impression left was that the Administration was Hng senior members of the Senate to reflect longer before ijiring committed to any withdrawal resolution.

Moreover, some Republicans as well as Democratic senators were raising questions as to whether leaving the United Nations might not result only in turning what was left of that organisation over to the Communist bloc Senator H. Alexander Smith (Republican, New Jersey), a high-rank-ing member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said his hostility to Chinese admission to the United Nations was still total, but that he had many reservations about threatening to leave the organisation. Senator Mike Mansfield (Democrat, Montana), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today criticised the Republicans for “trying to saddle the Democrats” with the apparent loss of Indo-China and the threat of the Peking regime being admitted to the United Nations.
