Abusing
U.N. Veto
NEW YORK. June 27 -P)-Dr.
Francisco Castillo Naiera. presi-
Ndent of the United Nations secur
ity council and foreign minister
of Mexico, tonight described Rus
sia s repeated negative votes on
the Spanish question as "abuse of
the veto."
Castillo Najero, who exchanged
sharp words with Soviet Delegate
Andrei A. Gromyko at last night's
stormy council session, told re
porters that the Spanish case "did
not really merit" Gromyko's con
stant use of the veto.
Opposes Veto
"I have always opposed the veto
power in essence," he said, "but I
am particularly opposed to the
abuse of the veto."
Castillo Najera, who voted with
Russia, France and Poland for a
worldwide diplomatic break with
the regime of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco, declared that the ul
timate results of last night's de
bate are such that "it would not
be strange if Franco, the man who
stands accused, would interpret
them in his favor."
Meanwhile, a final showdown
on the veto question loomed as
the aftermath of Russia's triple
use of the veto in a single session.
May Air Issue
Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, of Austra
lia, long a staunch foe of the veto.
was reported ready to ask a full
airing on the whole Issue at the

outright demand that it be killed.

Only three of the nation's 3000

Of the national list of 308,978,
more than 57 per cent were re

Immediately, on Majority

The action came unexpect
