AGAINST Greece Held
In Allegiance by u. n.
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Aug. 81
The Soviet Ukraine's bitter charges
against Greece and Great Britain
were hanging fire today while the
United Nations Security Council
went into its Labor Day week end
holiday without having decided
whether the case is worthy of a
hearing.
The indicated opposition at yes
terdays session posed the question
whether the necessary seven votes
could be mustered to have the case
heard at all.
The next session was set for /
pm. Tuesday after Great Britain
and the Soviet Union claShed
sharply last night over the entire
question and the Council itself re-

Manuilsky, Ukrainian Foreign Min
lister who flew here from the Paris
Peace Conference to present his
Russian-supported case.

Also denied seat was Ambas-
sador Vassili Dendramis. Greek rep

tered on Mr.. Manuilsky.
Mr.. Manuilsky discussed the Greek
situation at length last night at a
news conference called at the Soviet
consulate in New York. He said
he had two suitcaSes filled with evil
dence and documents to support his
charges. He declared the plebiscite
in Greece tomorrow was being car
ried out under the most severe ter
ror and that the Security Council
should concern itself with how it
was conducted.
Mr.. Manuilsky was particularly
in comments on the stand
taken by Sir Alexander Cadogan.

When it was pointed out to him

CadOgan Leads Attack.
The Ukrainian charges now can
not possibly reach the official stage
for at least two days after the Greek
plebiscite on the return of King
George II.
Mr.. Cadogan led the attack on the
Ukraine complaint with the asser-
ton that 1t contained wild accusa-

Suggests Rewriting.
Brazil and Australia also said the
complaint should be supported more
thoroughly and it was suggested
that Mr.. Manuilsky rewrite it and
delete the "unsubstantiated' state
ments.
After it became apparent that
the Ukrainian representative would
not be seated for the first round, at
least, Mr.. Gromyko launched into
long and detailed description of
conditions in Greece and demanded
that the council take the case.
He contended that great wars
have started from little incidents
such as 1.-The serious clashes" he
said We're taking place on the Greek
Albanian border. He blamed these
on armed Greek bands
The Soviet delegate charged that
the presence OF British troops in
Greece opened up the entire prob
lem of foreign rule and added that
this apparently was the reason Mr..
Cadogan opposed hearing the case.
Declaring the complaint was
very serious" Mr.. Gromyko said If
some action were not taken it might
come to constitute threat to peace
not only in the Balkans but in the
entire world.
