LONDON (AP) - In a reversal of long-standing policy, President Kennedy's Administration has decided not to oppose U. N. debate next fall on Red China's bid for a seat in the United Nations, informed diplomats reported today.
Instead the U. S. government is working on new strategy to keep Peiping out of the world body - at least until 1962. The diplomats said Kennedy told British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan at their meeting last week he needs at least 12 months to prepare Americans to accept the Red Chinese into the world organization.
The informants. familiar with some details of President Kennedy's talks with MacMillan in Washington last week, gave this account:
MacMillan told Kennedy the West is running out of votes in the United Nations to keep the question of seating Communist China off the U. N. Assembly agenda and that an attempt next fall to prevent a full debate on the issue will carry the danger of a humiliating defeat.
Kennedy generally agreed. He indicated Washington, too, thinks the moratorium cannot be sustained. But it emerged clearly that he considers the American people need more time in which to accustom themselves to the idea of Peiping's entry into the United Nations.
