Gadel 32. Re Delga 77,1 Indians in South Africa.

Since preliminary draft Indian res patterned upon GA resolutions adopted 1949, 1950 and 1952, it is generally satisfactory to Dept. However, we hope GADel may be able induce Indians drop para 8 which provides for automatic inclusion item on 8th GA agenda on ground this para serves no real purpose since India can always submit item in time for inclusion agenda next GA if situation requires, and para 8 implies that GA anticipates GOC will fail.
