BY THOMAS BUCK (Map an pag T) Climaxing a 10 month controversy, the city council yesterday approved six vacant land sites and five slum locations for new public housing projects in one of the most hectic city hall sessions in recent years.

The vote was 35 to 12. Another note of discord came when the full council rejected by a vote of 27 to 14 a proposal that the aldermen submit the public housing question to a referendum at the November election. The housing committee had shelved the proposal Thursday, but Aid. Du Bois 9th, sponsor of the measure, forced the issue by demanding a roll call on the committee's report. Compromise Works Smoothly The session was rife with an undercurrent of political threats aimed at getting the necessary support for the proposed sites, which were worked out as a compromise by the Democratic city administration.

N. members. Austin Rips Proposal Malik told the council representatives of both South and. North Korea should be invited to appear. It is necessary to invite both parties to the dispute if the council wishes to bring about a cessation of hostilities, he said.

Warren R. Austin, United States representative, reminded Malik that the general assembly created the U. N. commission on Korea, to hear both the northern and southern regimes, and that it was refused permission to enter the territory of the Communists. Moreover, the commission was unable to obtain the good offices of the soviet union, Austin said.

"Since the aggression of June 25, the North Korean regime is not only in contempt of the general assembly but also is1 defying the security council by continuing hostilities," Austin said. -State of Hostility" After the session, Austin denounced the soviet proposal as "exactly the hypocrisy the U. N. has been up against since the beginning of the attack." "This is an effort to make the world believe they are really interested in peace," Austin said. "Its obvious object is to create a status in Korea that would be extremely favorable to communism and against freedom.

Its purpose is to cause the troops of the U. N. to withdraw. I don't believe they are going to Gladwyn Jebb of Great Britain said the North Koreans had put themselves "in a state of hostility, with the United Nations itself." If they wish to be heard, he said, let them comply with the security council's resolution of June 25, which ordered them to withdraw beyond the 38th. parallel.
