Why were Spain rejected membership to the UN initially?

Also if possible were there any key factors to them being accepted into the UN in 1955?

TL;DR: The USSR was REALLY, REALLY pissed at them and did what they could to keep Spain iced out of the international community.

For the longer answer, I would direct you to this answer I did a little while back on Spain during the Cold War.
