SOVIET DUES TO U.N.
U.S. Lowers Demand
< V.Z. Press Assn.-r-Copyright) LNITED NATIONS (New York). December 21
The United States has lowered its demands by about 9.4 million dollars in a bid to settle the Soviet Union’s unpaid U.N. peace-keeping assessments, the Associated Press reported yesterday. Its new position is that the Russians can gain the right to vote in the General Assembly in 1965 by merely pledging about 17.1 million dollars, A.P. said. Its old position was that Moscow could do so only by paying 26.5 million dollars, the sum they will be in arrears on January I.
This was said today by diplomats commenting on negotiations that the Secre-tary-General, U Thant, is carrying on to clear up the issue.
The U.N. Charter, article 19. says any member two years behind in its assessments “shall have no vote” in the assembly. France will reach that point on January
