Viadimir Aldoshim, second Soviet Secretary to the United Nations, last night criticized the United States for using its veto so many times that it has "virtually paralyzed" the Security Council of the U.N. He said that this has given much of the power that originally belonged to the Security Council to the Secretary-general, making it imperative to fill his post with three men instead of one the familiar "troika proposal."
Aldoshin, who was a member of the disarmament conference last summer, and Vladimir Brykin, senior political advisor to the USSR mission to the United Nations, presented the official Soviet position on the major issues of the General Assembly's XVIIth session in a discussion sponsored by the international Relations Council.
Brykin called the season in "Assembly of the three Ds: Disarmament, De-colonization, and Development." Speaking about disarmament, he pointed out that the Soviet Union has consented to a limited number of on-site inspections each year, and "now everything depends on the Western countries." Aldoshin dismissed the current dispute over the number of inspections as a matter of "good will. After a while the whole matter ceases to be scientific, and becomes political--you know very well that there is no need for on-site inspection at all."
