During the early part Of his
speech, some delegates thought Mr..
Gromyko was building up case on
which he would attempt to summon
the United States before the Sc
curity Council on charges of threat
ening international peace. These
views were dropped when he failed
to say that the American program
endangered peace.
Most OF Mr.. Gromyko's speech
was devoted to criticism of the
American program, which he said
"bypassed" the u. N. entirely and
weakened the organization.
1.-The measures taken by the Gov
ernment of the United States in re-
spect to Greece and Turkey" he
declared, seriously undermine the
authority of the United Nations or

distrust in relations among the

THE attempt of the United States
Government to connect post-factum
it's action in regard to the above
