Council was called into session today
in an atmosphere Of deep concern
over the growing economic split
between Russia and the western
powers.
AS the 1s delegations assembled
they were generally agreed that
this fifth session of the Council
was likely to be the most critical
in U. N. history. ...
Some delegates privately ex-
pressed fears that. the long-smoul-
dering differences between Russia
and the western powers would de-
velop into a major clash as s. result
of recent developments on the
Marshall program for economic aid
to Europe.
David Owen, assistant secretary
general in charge Of economic af-
fairs, took a more optimistic view
He told a news conference yester.
day the split over the Marshal
plan would not necessarily com.
plicate the session.
He added. however, that any
member of the Council would be
able to raise the question, even
though it was not on the Councils

Morozov already has indicated he
