The United State expressed grave fears that the Russian move, which came as n surprise, might disrupt the discussions at Paiitminjom. But informed sources said the •.vest had accepted the Soviet proposal to discuss the cold war in the Security Council in an effort to determine if tension might he eased. This marked recognition of wide aupport among small nations for that part of the Soviet proposal.
