VETOED BY SOVIET
CHILEAN PROPOSAL ON CZECH COUP Rec. 8 p.m. NEW YORK. May 24. Russia used her twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth vetoes to-night to prevent a United Nations investigation into the February Communist coup in Czechoslovakia. The vote in the Security Council on the Chilean proposal for an inquiry was 9—2. Russia and the Soviet Ukraine dissented, and the Russian vote constituted a veto. Mr Andrie Gromyko, the Russian delegate, shortly before had exercised the same power to over-ride eight delegates who had maintained that the Chilean proposal was not subject to veto.
