(Herald-UP- I Cablcphoto) UNITED NATIONS (UPI)-T- he United States, Britain and their Western partners completed work today on a Security Council draft resolution con demning the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and demanding withdrawal of the occupation troops "forthwith." The measure was scheduled to go before an urgent meeting of the council, which began debate on the Czech crisis Wednesday night over the protests of the Soviet Union and Hungary, its only two Communist members. The morning meeting was delayed while backers of the measure, led by British Minister of State Lord Caradon, lined up sponsorship for the resolution. It wus expected to be sponsored by the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Den- mark and Paraguay the countries that requested council meeting on the Czech situation plus Brazil, which supported the call for a meeting but did not sign the request because its ambassador, Joao Augusto de Araujo Castro, is this month's president of the group. |
