RUSSIA USES VETO FOR THE 25TH TIME
BLOCKS MOVE TO INVESTIGATE CZECH COMMUNIST COUP Red. 6.40 p.m. New York, May 24 Russia used her 24th and 25th vetoes tonight to prevent a United Nations investigation into the February Communist coup in Czechoslovakia. The vote in the Security Council on a Chilean proposal for an inquiry was nine to two. Russia and Soviet Ukraine dissented, and the Russian vote constituted a veto. Mr. Gromyko, shortly before, had exercised the same power to override eight delegates who had maintained that the Chilean proposal was not subject to veto.
