Delegates to the United Nations warned Thursday that a Russian veto of the U S plan for world arms reduction would spell the virtual end of U N disarmament efforts. The possibility arose after the U N conventional armaments commission approved and sent the U S plan to the Security Council and rejected a Soviet proposal linking atomic weapon disposal to conventional arms.
