Veiled Warning to Russia Over UN Debate
At the United Nations General Assembly an Arab-Asian bloc urged restraint on Russia's role in the Middle East and backed a French push to avoid broad debate on Algeria. British Foreign Secretary Harold MacMillan reinforced Western reluctance to back arms to Egypt and urged calm constitutional progress in Cyprus while warning against introducing new factors that could destabilize the region. France warned of possible withdrawal from the UN if Algeria self government demands were debated. Uncertainty lingered over potential fallout and rebel violence in Algeria.
