NEPAL TO TRY FOR
ADMISSION TO UNO

Kathmandu, Sept. 22

Nopal's Foreign Minis-,
ter, Mr. D K. Regmi
announced here that Nepal
would make another ap-
proach to the United
Nations Security Council
for her admission in
UNO.

Mr Regmi said that his
Government would also
make simultaneous appro-
aches to USSR, U. r\ A.
and Britain to support
Nepal's application.

Nepal's application for
admispion in U.N.O. was
sponsored by India in li'49
but she oould not get
admission as the Soviet
Union had vetoed it.

Nepal, though not a
member of the U.N.O. is
at present a member of
the UNESCO andF.A.O.
She is also an associate
member of ECAFE.

Mr. Rfgmi, who was
presiding over the annual
function of a local library,
deplored that some ele-
ments in Nepal had made
the King a subject of
controversy. The King, he
said was the constitutio-
nal head of the State and
the Ministry appointed by
him was responsible for
failures of the adminis-
tration. It was therefore
wrong and unfair to blame
the King or make him a
subject of controversy.
