place you can't exercise the veto power"
 If the above sounded like needing, that's ex- actly what 1t was meant to be. Evatt is the best needler in the United Nations. And surprising as t may seem, Gromyko doesn't mind 1t. Nothing de- lights Gromyko more than to outsmart Evatt, though he rarely gets chance
 At the UN Security Council meeting the other day Cromyko and Evatt crossed toils again. Later, Evatt Roodnaturedly complained to the French dele- gate Parodi that Gromyko was the toughest customer he had come up against in the whole United States.
 .Thats nothing" oromyko shot back, you're the toughest guy I've met in the whole world, and I've met lot of tough ones
 The Evatt-Gromyko battle of wits has developed some of the shrewdest manipulating any recent in- terational conference has Seen Gromyko Is sly as fox At meetings Evatt never takes his eyes off him. The Australian is now chairman of the Atomic Com mission, and the other day, Arkady Sobolov, the Russian Assistant Secretary General called Evatt on the phone and asked that he recognize Gromyko as the first speaker at next days Atomic Oommis- sion meeting
 "Tn think 1t over" Evatt said.
 But" protested Sobolov, "Gronyko wrote you a letter asking to be recognized first and the rules provide that the man who asks first be called first"
 Oh mo-" Evatt shot back, "the rules provide that the delegate who raises his hand first on the floor be called first. Besides want to show old Oronyko he's not the only one who has the veto power Yes- terday he vetoed our decision Franco. So tonor- row think I'll veto him when he asks to speak first"
 Next day. Gromyko who had already released his prepared speech to the press, twisted and sQuirmed for fear Evatt wouldn't call on him. Finally, after ignoring him for nearly an hour, Evatt suddenly turned, caught 0romyko by surprise, and asked him to speak.
