Celebrate With Veto

Andrei A. Gromyko, Russian del
egate to the United Nations security
council, celebrated the first ami.
versary of the U. N. with veto
the 10th the Reds have employed
since the international organization
came into being to block action
against themselves or Soviet-spon-
sored puppets.
With the Polish delegate siding
with him. per custom, Gromyko
welded the veto on a resolution
that would have charged Albania,
a Soviet satellite. with part guilt for
the sinking of a British vessel by a
mine in Corfu channel last fall. Ef-
feet of the charge would have in
creased Albania's liability for DAM
ages being sought by the British for
the miShap.
AS it was, the U. S.. France.
China, Australia, Brazil, Colombia
and Belgium, which voted for the
resolution, watered down the origi-
nal British charge that Albania was
guilty Of either laying the mine or
conniving in planting 1t. Instead.
they accused Albania Of possessing
knowledge Of the presence Of the
mine and failure to clear the
channel.
