This Day That Age
The United Nations lost its most brilliant and most colourful delegate when Mr. Andrei Vyshinsky died unexpectedly on November 22 shortly after 4 p.m. (GMT) following a heart attack. Even as the French Prime Minister, M. Mendes-France was addressing the General Assembly, news had got around that Mr. Vyshinsky was sinking, and, very shortly thereafter, a brutally laconic announcement was made that the Russian diplomat had passed away. The U.N. was stunned. While Mr. Vyshinsky had been its enfant terrible, he was also one of its most sought after delegate. The President of the General Assembly, Mr. Van Kleffens, made the announcement of Mr. Vyshinsky's death to the Assembly, and all delegates rose and stood in silence as a mark of respect to the Soviet leader. Mr. Vyshinsky was jovial and seemingly in good health when delegates last saw him three days ago. The next day he called on Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge and told him that he intended to submit a new Soviet amendment to the Western atoms for peace plan. Mr. Vyshinsky has been known to have had a heart condition for some time.
