An authority said the United States has better use for armed forces "in other places" due to the world situation. He did not go into details on clear he was referring to the state of affairs what he meant by "other places" but made it

It was pointed out that if Rusala uses the veto to block the new Am. 1274erican proposals in the Security Coun- cil the United States will be free to go to the General Assembly, where the veto does not apply, and where the United States generally has been able to munter a good majority for almost every proposal so far.
