U.S. Nominates Romulo of Philippines
United Nations, N.Y.—(U.P.) The United States grouped its forces behind Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines today in preparation for the first ballot in the United Nations Security Council for selection of a new secretary-general.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge surprisingly took the initiative in a closed meeting of the Security Council yesterday when he heired Ronulfo for the $55,000 a year job now held by Norway's Trygve Lie.
Russia nominated Polish foreign minister Stanislaw Skrzeszewski and Denmark, seconded by Britain, proposed General Assembly President Lester B. Pearson of Canada.
The selection of a new secretary-
general overshadowed proceedings of the Assembly's political committee. The committee scheduled two sessions today to continue its debate on Greek prisoners allegedly still held in Communist countries and to consider the report of the committee on collective measures against future aggression.
There was much speculation as to why M. Lord lushed in to place Mr. Romulo's name in nomination first. Council procedure requires that nominations be voted upon in the order in which they are made.
That means Mr. Romulo must be voted upon first and, should he gain the seven votes necessary for a council recommendation, it would be
almost obligatory for Russia to veto him.
Observers believed the Council on first ballot would vote like this:
For Mr. Romulo; the United States, Chile, China, Colombia.
For Mr. Pearson; Denmark, Brita-
ain, France, Greece.
For Mr. Skrzeszewski: Russia.
