Lake Success, July 8. The Sovic delegato, ML Gromyko, told the Security Council today that the Greck accusations against Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria of arming and training refugees from Greece were completely without proof and unfounded, .
The evidence
was contradletery and not clear, he said, refusing the witnesses who had testifled before the United Nations Balkan Commis
