Lake Success, September 28.

Russia agreed with the West today that the United Nations should postpone its debate on Greece's war against Communist guerillas to permit private efforts to conciliate the troublesome Balkan question.

Observers interpret the agreement on this pro-

posal by the Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr. Andrei Vyshinsky, as qualified acceptance by Russia of Secretary of State Mr. Dean Acheson's appeal made at the opening of the General Assembly last week to co-operate with the West in settling international pro- blems, particularly in Greece.

Mr. Julius Katz Suchy, Poland, proposed that any conciliation at tempts should be preceded by an appeal to the Greek Government to suspend political court martials and executions.
