RJ.-The Soviet Union tonight
vetoed key section Of a Brit
ish-French resolution on the
Suez Canal crisis, calling for
Security Council Endorsement
of the London Conference de-
cisions but the Council ac-
cepted unanimously a set Of
six principles for future nego-
tiations.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
ID (P.-The Suez crisis erupted
into a new wrangle tonight when
the Soviet Union and Egypt Bit
terly rejected renewed British
French demand for United Ma
tons approval Of western plans
for solving the problem.
The row broke out suddenly in
the Security Council just as the
weary delegates were congratu-
lating each other on apparently
having put the Suez talks into
calmer channels by virtual ac-
ceptance of six principles for
future negotiations.
Meeting in an extraordinary
atmosphere of plans and counter
plans. the council heard British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
and French Foreign Minister
Christian Pineau put forward
their demand in a new resolution.
Ask Egypt's Terms
1t contained the six principles
and also said the proposals of
ID nations meeting in London
last August constituted the basis
for an agreement on the canal.
"A cardinal point of the London
decisions is international opera
lion of the Suez Canal-a point
Moscow and Cairo have turned
down.
Mahmoud Fawzi, Egyptian
foreign minister, told the council
he accepted the six principles in
full agreement last night with
Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. Pineau in
talks with U. N. Secretary Gen.
eral Dag Hammarskjold. But
he said he would not accept the
remainder of the resolution and
insisted Egypt had made some
counterproposals.
Backed by Shepilov
He was backed up quickly by
Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri
T. Shepilov. The Russian told
the Council he was ready to vote
for the six principles but that he
would not approve the remainder
of the resolution referring to the
London decisions. This forecast
a veto of that part Of the Brit
ish-French proposal.
IF the security council adopted
this resolution, Mr., Shepilov
said. "it would make subsequent
negotiations pointless because
the outcome would be pre-deter-
mined" He closed with the grim
words the Soviet Union could not
accept the resolution in its pres
ent form.
After the Russian speech. the
council recessed for two hours
for dinner. Mr.. Pineau was espe-
cially anxious to depart for
Paris Sunday night to prepare
for French Assembly debates
Tuesday.
After the council resumed
work Secretary of State Dulles
announced his support of the
Britlsh-French measure.
He said there is nothing in
the entire resolution which
should be in the slightest de-
gree offensive to Egypt or
which is derogatory of Egypt
or Egyptian sovereignty"
Pursuit Of Peace"
AS we read it, he said, ut
represents an honest attempt to
advance our pursit Of peace and
justice through the next stage"
Referring to the six principles
in the resolution. Mr.. Dulles said
they are realistic and concrete. /"
They will permit the future
proposals. and conduct OF the
parties-in-interest in implements
ing them to be Judged both by
this council and by the world. +"
Mr.. Dulles said. In my opening
statement made TO the council
last Tuesday, l spoke OF the
principles which governed a Just
solution Of this problem. en-
phasized one in particular,
namely. that the operation OF
the canal should be insulated
from the politics Of any country.
! said that II that Just principle
we're accepted, ] believed the re-
naming problems could be re-
solved. That principle has been
accepted, and adhere 10 my
belief that the remaining prob
lens can be resolved"
