Lake Success April 8 Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyko unveiled a U N proposal giving the United Nations power to supervise American aid to Greece. He condemned U S aid as unilateral and urged a special Security Council commission to oversee Greece and Turkey relief. The plan, aimed at restricting military use of funds, faces U N debate as council members seek instructions from their governments. Gromyko refused to back the American plan without U N input, arguing Athens and Ankara issues require U N oversight. The Greek question will be taken up again when the council resumes discussions Thursday.
