Meanwhile, u. N. Secretary

said in effect that no inter-

After Mr.. Hammerskjold's
brief statement Ambassador
Lodge presented the American
resolution calling for an ex-
pansion of the United Nations
observer group and establish
ment of a U. N. police force in
Lebanon.
Soviet veto Of the American
proposal to set up a United
Nations police force is expected.
United States officials in
dicated they would not press for
a special General Assembly ses-
sion to ram the proposal
through.
A final nose-count Of dele
cations yesterday afternoon
convinced the Americans they
did not have the votes to swing
a two-thirds majority Of 81 in
the 8l-member Assembly.
Still, the West will have
achieved strong United Nations
support in the H. nation Sc
curity Council for the principle
of rescuing independent Arab
states threatened by pro-Nasser
elements.
One Opposition Vote Likely
The Soviet veto is expected
to be the only vote against the
American resolution. Depending
on whether Sweden abstains,
: the supporting vote is expected
to total nine or ten.
It is likely the same voting
margin will defeat the Soviet
resolution that calls on the
! United States to withdraw its
troops from Lebanon "immedi-
ately." There even was some
hope that the Soviet resolution
, would be withdrawn before 1t
reached a vote.
No Soviet effort TO carry the
issue to special General As
,sembly vote would stand a
, chance Of success.
