Preliminary discussions already showed the old familiar lines of an east-west split. Early speculation for the as- sembly president-described by a high U.

Evatt was in the race with the assured opposition of Russia but with a good chance of support from the western powers. The Australian's personal clashes with Foreign Minister V. M.
