Move Britain Blocked On Trusteeship Council Debate By MAX HARRELSON LAKE SUCCESS. Sept.

United States joined Russia against Britain today in a successful Soviet move to block immediate debate on the report of the United Nations Trusteeship Council. Russia boycotted this major U.N. organ at all its meetings which began last winter to watch over the world's 300,000,000 dependent peoples. The U.S. move was interpreted as a conciliatory gesture following appeal by Secretary-General Trygve Lie for big power cooperation.

With American suppdrt, Russia succeeded in delaying the debate until next week. The United States also appealed, through Francis B. Sayre, president of the Trusteeship Council, for an end of the Soviet boycott of the council. It now has 10 members, with Russia absent. The new big power clash on trusteeship occurred as the Assembly shifted from Flushing Park.

New York, to begin committee work here at U.N. headquarters. Battered and beaten by a majority which no veto could block, Russia found herself in a weak minority position in her contest with the United States for leadership in the United Nations Assembly. A series of assembly test votes produced that result. Overwhelming majorities crushed Soviet opposition and placed firmly on the agenda for this session the American-sponsored issues of Greece, Korea and a new veto- free security agency.

Similarly, on an Argentine proposal supported by the United States for revision of the Italian peace treaty, the assembly voted to put the question on the agenda for future full consideration despite the fact Russia objected and Britain and France took a hands- off attitude. Diplomatic authorities said the meaning of the votes was highly important for the rest of this session. They predicted Russia would gain little support for her resolution to condemn alleged President Summons Cabinet to Discuss European Food Plans WASHINGTON. Sept.
