Council of Foreign Ministers. The
United States held her ground
and insisted that the securitj'
council act to stop the Soviet
blockade in Berlin. Vishinsky
argued that the question under
debate Avas not under the juris
diction of the council. United
States delegate, Jessup, accused
Russia of threatening Avorld peace
and further stated that the coun

council A'oted to discuss the ques

The Russians Avalked out of the
meeting, but they returned, tem-
