Soviet Action At UN Parley Gates A Cold Stand
New York April 24. Soviet Russia refused to accept the Security Council mandate on the Iranian case and announced a recess in the council.

The move widened the rift with the United States and Britain and drew questions from smaller nations about Big Three dominance on world affairs. The council had voted 8 to 3 to report Iran’s complaint on May 6 despite protests.
