"We strongly urge our government, in concert with all other democratic nations, to place this matter before the appropriate body of the United Nations for urgent and immediate action," he said.
Mr. Meany is chief spokesman for the Labor Federation, which includes about 13,500,000 unionized workers.

The crowd that turned out to see the Soviet leader in the traditional ride was smaller than the half-million who showed up to cheer President Eisenhower when he made the same drive last September.
Khrushevhe made his remarks to the France-U.S.S.R. Friendship Group following a formal drive up the Champs Elysee under stringent security wraps.
Upon his arrival by jetliner, Khrushchev emerged smiling but looking a little tired from the attack of flu that had forced post-ponement of his 11-day visit until today.
De Gaulle gave him a hearty personal greeting and told him France was "ready to listen to you and to make you listen to us."
