Reds veto plan blocks UN peace debt settlement
United Nations crisis on peacekeeping debts stalls as the Soviet Union rejects key points of a settlement proposal. General Assembly President Quaison-Sackey postpones today’s meeting to next Tuesday while Western diplomats brace for a potential showdown over Russia's voting rights. The plan would have funded indirect payments by debtor nations and, if acceptable, dropped voting-right sanctions under Article 19.

India quietly advances its atomic program with 16 years of research and a 7,000-strong Atomic Energy Commission in Trombay near Bombay. The facility includes three reactors with two more planned, an operating power plant under construction, and another soon to begin, aided slightly by Canada. Western experts say India could weaponize within 18 months if pursued, despite peaceful aims and limited progress in agriculture and education.
