Andrei A Gromyko’s string to 14.
Applications from Italy, Austria,
Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria
were put off until Thursday after
the Soviet Union was voted down in
a demand that all be held up until
the peace treaties were ratified.
Ireland, Portugal and Transjor-
dan all drew nine affirmative votes.
Poland joined Russia in opposing
Portugal but abstained on the other
two.
Russia, Poland and Syria sup-
ported Albania, which was opposed
by the United States, Britain, Bel-
guim and Australia France, Brazil,
Colombia and China abstained.
Outer Mongolia drew the same sup-
port but was opposed by the United
States, Britain and China. The big}

case because both applications

to get seven votes.
