U.N. Secretary-General U Thant
weighed a small nation appeal that
he intervene in an attempt to head
off a U.S.-Soviet showdown.
v committee representing 45
countries from all parts of the
verld called on Thant this morning
and requested him to seek a stand
still pending a negotiated settle
ment. He was reported to have told
the group he would consider the
appeal.
Inside the council chamber,
\ enezuelan Ambassador Carlos
Sosa-Rodriguez declared the Soviet
weapons in Cuba were no longer
defensive but were a. threat to the
e.u' re hemisphere. He demanded
tea; the council take action to
halt the shipment of offensive
weapon- and to dismantle the mis- :
sile bases already built.
“It is sufficient," he said, “that
these weapons are now in the hands
of the nuclear powers themselves,
an.,1 we cannot accept that they be
handed over to tne only Commu- .
nist state in the Americas.”
British delegate Sir Patrick!
Dean accused the Soviet Union of
"calculated double dealing" and
declared this is bound to cast
doubt on any statements issued bv
the Russians.
He said the stationing of Soviet
missiles in Cuba affects the whole
security of the Western Hemis
phere and cannot be tolerated.

States has ;m an "a r In ‘A* nw ■ ■■
tion:
Arc the Soviets in Cuba do in;:
it.'iy more, in establishing missile
bases, than the U.S. has don<
around the perimeters of Russia.’
The answer, in substance, is that
the United States deployed inter
mediate-range missile bases to pro
tect nations threatened by Russia
and that Cuba has been under no
such threat of attack.
The question was raised at a
Pentagon briefing Monday night. !
An official spokesman gave this
reply:
"There is a very, basic differ
ence between these two situations.
Il was the Soviet threat to West
tin Europe, including its flank.
of the Scandinavian countries to :
the north and the Greek and Turk
ish nations on the south, that led
to our support of Western Europe
and to our arm in , the Turks and ,
the Italians with certain nuclear
weapons.
‘•There is no similarity between
the provision of such weapons to
nations under that t: rent, on the
one hand, versus the arming of
Cuba on the other •— which ob
viously was not under the threat j
of nuclear attack from this coun- j
try.”
