UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
June 12.--Secretary General q

mission to Yemen in a race to
prevent a new and bloody crisis
in the Middle East.
He acted after the 11-nation
U. N. Security Council voted
100 yesterday to authorize
creation of the Yemen force.
Russia abstained.
Diplomats seeking the deeper
meaning Of the move said:
/. Russia was outmaneuvered.
Moscow clearly opposed the
Yemen action, but did not dare
use its veto.
2. At the same time, Moscow
prevented U Thant from acting
on his own authority-some-
thing which would have greatly
expanded the secretary gen
erals veto-free powers and set
an important precedent.
Result In Compromise
Thus the result was a kind
of compromise. Russia sue

increase in Y. N. peacemaking

sabotage the use in Yemen Of
existing U. N. power.

The workload confronting the

three flight efforts at once. Mr..

The agency's ruling trium-

last week from officials of the
Manned Spacecraft Center in
Houston, Tex, who sought at

up to 100 hours duration.
Although the plea Of the
Houston group was character
lied by Mr.. Webb as persuasive,
it was known that the space
administrator opposed continu-
alton Of the one-man-flight
program. At least part of his
opposition stemmed from re-
luctance to go before Congress
for additional Mercury money.
There was no provision in
the 1864 budget for continual
