The United States accused
Russia today of trying to sab
otage the Geneva nuclear test
ban negotiation" 1t matched
the charge with a proposal
that the United Nations review
the urgent need" for a test
ban treaty.
The accusation is perhaps
the bitterest yet made by the
United States against the So
Wet government in a formal
note in the two and three
quarter years that the test-ban
talks have been under way.
The note was delivered to
the Soviet Foreign Ministry to-

bassy in Moscow. 1t was released
by the State Department here
almost simultaneously with fill
ing of the appeal to the United
Nations in New York.

The United States message
to Moscow said there were sew

of these, the United States de-
