Neu- berger (D-Ore.) of making “onesided attacks” that could weaken America’s faith in the United Nations. Neuberger told the Senate that if that faith is destroyed “by at tacks such as those of the Repub lican Senate leader, then the Uni ted Nations may disappear as an effective potential instrument for world peace. . . .” The Oregon Democrat added: “The Republican leader’s one sided attacks on the weaknesses of the United Nations lead one to wonder why he is so intent on weakening the faith of the people of America in the one international forum where debate may possibly forestall a fight” .

N. Security Council conduct peace talks with India and Pakistan on the Kashmir dispute. It was Russia’s 79th veto in the history of the 11-nation Council. The plan to send the council president, Gunnar V. Jarring of Sweden, to the Indian subconti nent as a mediator in the nine- year-old quarrel over Kashmir was sponsored by the United States, Britain, Cuba and Aus tralia. Soviet Delegate Arkady A. So bolev agreed with the proposal to have Jarring seek a solution, but objected to other provisions of the plan. He was particularly opposed to a reference to possible use of U. N. forces to occupy the princely state. In this, he supported India’s V. K. Krishna Menon who had told the Council India would not per mit U. N. troops in Kashmir. Sobolev used the veto after the Council rejected amendments pro posing deletion of the objectiona ble provisions. The vote on the four-nation resolution was 9-1. Russia cast the negative vote and Sweden abstained.
