Delga 590. Re: SC mtg—Ital membership. Protitch advised Gross in confidence that Quevedo plans to call SC mtg next week probably Dec 18 and insists upon placing on agenda membership question with GA res on Italy as sub-item. Protitch says: Quevedo is firm in his belief that notwithstanding the special treatment of Ital membership implicit in GA res, this question can be considered properly only as “an aspect of general membership question”.

This info emphasizes importance of resuming discussions with Quevedo (re Delga 463, Dec 1¹ and Delga 526, Dec 6) at earliest possible moment and Dept’s urgent guidance wld be appreciated.
