By r. H. SHACKFORD

SAN FRANCISCO, June .-W.p)-
Soviet Russia plunged the United
Nations conference into its grav-
est crisis tonight by demanding
that each big power have t he right
to suppress even discussion" OF
dispute in the world security
council.
The situation was so serious -
threatening big five unanimity on

the third big five meeting within

night.

err big powers, an absolute gag
was imposed by the heads Of the
five delegations.
REJECTS Interpretation
Russian rejection of the more
liberal Interpretation of the Yalta
voting formula suggested by the
other big powers came in paper
presented to the big five last night.
On the crucial point-Whether a
big power can veto council discus
sion of a dispute-the Russian pa
per was reported to say:
''In no way can discussion in
the counciD be considered pro-
cedural matter

pose world charter provides that
only a majority of any seven mem
bers of the 11-nation council would

err questions, unanimity of the big
five is needed.
On another issue, the Russians eX-
pressed a willingness to follow the
other big powers which have sug-
gested that all procedural acts in
the charter be defined. The only
Russian stipulation is that such
acts be so labeled in the charter
and that all others without eXcep-
ton be considered non-procedural.
Some U. S. delegates expressed
the opinion that the voting crisis
may prolong the conference "indef-
initely"
