U N Delays Decision on Arms Debate At Lake Success
The United Nations security council postponed general debate on disarmament to early next week as the United States and Russia clash over atomic energy control. Herschel Johnson urged immediate consideration of a US sponsored plan to outlaw atomic weapons, while Andrei Gromyko pressed for a Russian three month disarmament timetable. The atomic energy commission approved the US plan and sent it to the council, voting 10 to 0 with Russia and Poland abstaining. Gromyko launched a sharp attack suggesting a veto could block the report, while Polish delegate Oscar Lange warned the five permanent members might not accept the provisions. Gromyko abstained, moving away from prior nonparticipation.
