TENSION RELAXED AND PEACE OUTLOOK SEEMS BRIGHTER
Eeceived Thursday, 7.40 p.m. - — NEW YOEK, May 18. The General Assembly has vvound up its third session with few practical results to show for its two inonths of debate. The Assembly 's main task was to settle the future of the Ttalian eolonies but its decision was merely to refer the issue to its uext session in September. Most delegates felt, however, that the outlook for peace was brighter at the end of the session than it was at the beginning. Although the Soviet bloe continued its attacks on the Western Powers, most observers felt that the old tension had been relaxed. But for a brief burst of dramatics when Poland demanded a debate on the Communist Gerhart Eisler, and a flurry of excitement when Israel was admitted, it was one of the dullest sessions on record. The session attracted little public attention. Tbe only time tlietfpublic galleries were full was during the final vote on Israel 's adhiission. The average daily attendance was only about 500.
