The vote came after Foreign Minister Molotov accepted a com- promise proposal offered by Den- mark to qualify a phrase to which Russia had fought bitterly in com- mittee, Mr, Molotov sald Soviet Russia would welcome the three new states in the United Nations. Both the Danish amendment and - | the resolution itself were approved with opposition, immediately after Mr, Molotov spoke. The controversial question was re- vived immediately after the Assem- bly opened its plenary session to act on the three membership applica~ tions. The Russians were opposed to the inclusion of a phrase saying that "The Assembly has taken note of the applications for membership" on the ground that thesé words in ef- fect amounted to a "revision of the charter by concealed methods." They argued that they indicated the Assembly had authority, which the Russians maintained belonged only to the Security Council, Truck Hit In Sideswipe; Hunt Driver Clipped by a large, red, dump truck on Highway No. 2, near the Printer's Guild west of Pickering, early last night, a truck belonging ~Goodfellow Printing .» and driven by Guy Bell, Cochrane Street, Whitby, had its side sheared and it was only by good fortune that a serious accident wag avoided.

Mr, Bell told police that he was east on the high. way at about 6.30 p. m. when a truck in a line of traffic edged out and struck the side of his truck. He sald it was going at quite a clip and continued on without stopping. The reflector on Bell's truck was shattered and the sideboards smashed in and clipped off on the left side. Flying debris from the ac- cident struck two cars following the dump truck. The first car involved j| was driven by I. N. Humphrey, 113 '| Byron Street, Whitby, and police said its fender was dented.
