HEALTH ORGANISATION
Mr Trygve Lie Perturbed
Lake Success, Feb. 16.-United Nations leaders were shocked today by Russia's abrupt withdrawal from the World Health Organisation, but appeared. to feel that it does not portend a Soviet walkout from the United Nations itself. The Secretary General, Mr Trygve Lie, was not immediately available for comment but persons close to the UN chief said he was greatly perturbed over the development. * .

The UN was gratified last year when Russia, the Ukraine and Byelo-Russia, which had declined membership of the in such other important "specialised" agencies United Nations, such as the Food and Agricultural Or- Civil Aviation Organisa- ganisation and the International tion, announced their membership in the WHO.
