 United tions Headquarters, Lake Success, N. Y, Aug. 3O-CUP) Soviet Russia tried today to bring Britain and Greece to the United Nations dock before the Greeks vote Sunday on the fate of their mon- archy.
 The Russians struggled against Anglo American opposition to force a prediction hearing on charges that the present Greek government, supported by Britain, constitutes 2 threat to the peace.
 The move confronted the world organization with its second Rus sian-sponsored effort to condemn what it considers British domina- ton of Greece, the only Balkan nation outside the Soviet sphere. The first attempt was turned aside by the western powers after long debate in the Security Councils opening sessions this year in Lon don.
 Ukrainian Complaint
 
 The actual issue before the H. nation Council was the complaint of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic that the Greek monarchist government - whose future hinges on the Sunday elections-Was fo- menting friction in the Balkans. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitri Manuilski flew from Paris yester- day prepared to air his case If Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko succeeds in forcing the Council to take up the charges at it's meeting late today.
 Britain, counting on support from the United States, hoped to keep the issue off the Councils agenda until after Sundays referendum in Greece.
 The fact that the meeting was scheduled for today instead of next week was a victory for Gromyko. The Russian delegate climaxed a bitter 10-hour Council session last night by beating down efforts to adjourn until next Tuesday.
 Gromyko also presented sur prise proposal that the Council re- quire all United Nations to report within two weeks on the number and disposition of all armed forces which they were maintaining Aug. ] in foreign territories other than former enemy countries.
 Aimed At U. s. In China
 This bombshell was aimed at American forces in China as well as British troops in Greece, But it's immediate purpose seemed to be to lay groundwork for the Ukrainian case against Greece and Britain.
 The Ukrainian complaint con- tended that the British forces in Greece were the principal factor" in the unrest which it said Greece was fomenting, particularly in her policy toward Albania.
 Some delegates complained that Gromyko violated all rules of Se- curity Council procedure by read ing his proposal without seeking to place it on the agenda or first sub mitting it in writing He drew angry objections from Sir Alexander Cadogan, British delegate, after proposing that each of the United Nations within two weeks report:
 l. The disposition and number of it's troops stationed in foreign lands other than former enemy countries.
 2. At which of these points air or naval bases have been estab- lished and the size of the garrisons.
 Ruled Out Of Order
 Gromyko, asserting that world public opinion was watching the disposition of such armed forces with 'open concern" stipulated that the reports should cover the situa- tion as of Aug. l.
 The Russian proposal made no progress in the Council Chairman Oscar Lange of Poland ruled that Gromyko was out of order and the proposal could not be discussed until it had been placed on the agenda.
