UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Sun day, Dec. 5—The Soviet Union vetoed early today in the Security, Council an American resolution calling for an immediate cease‐fire in the Indian‐Pakistani conflict and for the withdrawal of the, armed forces of both countries to their own side of the border.

The vote came toward the end of an eight‐hour session in which the council heard India and Pakistan accuse each other of armed aggression. The meeting was adjourned at 1:25 A.M. until 2:30 P.4. today.

China joined the United States and nine other members in voting for the American text. Britain and France abstained. The Soviet Union and Poland voted against the re solution. Since the Soviet Union is a permanent member of the council its vote was a veto.

Britain and France indicated that they had abstained be cause they foresaw a Soviet veto and they felt that any resolution should be adopted unanimously.” Both Pakistan and India are members of the Commonwealth, which is made up of former British colonies.

The council meeting, hastily called during the day, was immediately marked by a clash between the Soviet Union and China. The two Communist powers took diametrically op posed positions on all aspects of the crisis in the Indian sub continent, the Soviet Union siding with India and China giving all‐out support to Pakistan.

Three other draft resolutions were before the. Council after the American text was defeated. None called for a cease fire. It was the cease‐fire clause in the American: text that was unacceptable to India and therefore to the Soviet Union.

The United States, while saying that it valued its close relations with both India and Pakistan, was strongly critical of India.

George Bush, the United States delegate, who was one of the first speakers in the debate, submitted a draft resolution calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani armed forces to their own sides of the borders.

The American draft resolution also called for the stationing of an United Nations ob server force along the Indian Pakistan borders. The draft made it clear that the force would be dispatched by Secretary General Thant only if both India and Pakistan requested it.

The Council's President, Ismael Taylor‐Kamara of Sierre Leone, after a series of sometimes humorous, sometimes barbed exchanges with Yakov A. Malik of the Soviet Union, ruled that the issue of an invitation to the Bangla Desh, or “Bengal Nation,” be deferred until after Pakistan and India had spoken.

The procedural wrangling lasted more than an hour and was ended only after the delegate of Somalia, Abdulrahim A. Farah, reminded the delegates that people were dying on the Indian subcontinent while the Council was quarreling.

India and Pakistan, which are not members of the Council, were asked to take their seats at opposite ends of the big Council table, which forms an incomplete circle.

Agha Shahi of Pakistan, a small figure in a dark suit wearing horn‐rimmed glasses, was invited to speak first. Reading from a 38‐page text, he charged that India had “launched an armed attack to break up” Pakistan.

This was a unique situation in the history of the United, Nations, Mr. Shahi said. He, added that never before had a member country tried to dis member another member country by such open classical means of aggression.”

“Pakistan could not abdicate right to make appropriate countermoves,” the delegate told the Council members, and he added: “It is now for the Security Council to find the means to make India desist.”

Samar Sen, the delegate from India, speaking calmly, almost casually, retorted that the root cause of the tension on the Indian subcontinent was the Pakistani Government's campaign of “genocide” against the population of East Pakistan.

Mr. Sen, the meaning of his words belying the moderate tone of his voice, charged that Pakistani soldiers had conducted a “systematic campaign of rape” to humiliate the East Pakistani population. He added: “We shall stand by [the East Pakistanis] as long as we have any light of civilized behavior in us.”

Mr. Sen said that it was the Pakistani Government that first exacerbated military tensions on the borders between India and Pakistan by sending Pakistani planes “to attack our cities.”

Mr. Sen appealed to the delegates to consider what he called “the root cause” of the crisis, the “inhuman Pakistani policies in East Pakistan,” rather than to confine them selves to the issue of border tensions. He added that Pakistan had created these tensions to deflect attention from the real problem.

Mr. Bush, while stressing that the United States placed great value in its close relations with both India and Pakistan, appeared highly critical of India.

The Administration, he said, had proposed to both Governments that they withdraw their military forces from their borders. “Pakistan accepted this proposal; regrettably India did not,” he said.

Mr. Bush also said that the United States had “pointed out to the Indian Government that an increase of military tension” would harm the prospects of political settlement and the re turn of refugees.

Today's emergency meeting of the council was called by President Taylor‐Kamara after he had received a written request to do so from nine countries. They were Argentina, Belgium, Britain, Burundi, Italy, Japan, Nicaragua, Somalia and the United States.

The initiative for the meeting came from Italy and Belgium, according to diplomatic inform ants.

The Italian delegate, Piero Vinci, and Michel Van Ussel, the minister‐councilor of the Belgian mission, met early Saturday morning in Mr. Vinci's office across First Avenue from United Nations headquarters to draft the written request for a meeting. They were soon joined by the Japanese Ambassador, Toru Nakagawa.

Mr. Bush had informed his Belgian and Italian colleagues that he hoped the United States would be able to join them if they requested a meeting, the sources said. Mr. Bush reportedly received the green light from Washington in midmorning.

Italy, Belgium and Japan had tried to bring about a Council meeting more than a week ago but suspended their efforts when the big powers, including the United States and the Soviet Union, let it be known that they were acting through bilateral diplomatic channels to persuade both India and Pakistan to desist from military hostilities.

The Soviet Union was reliably reported to have argued energetically against a, Council meeting when President Taylor Kamara conducted lengthy negotiations all through yesterday evening and this morning.

Moscow's position was consistent with its support for India, which has been against a Council meeting.

The Chinese delegation was reported to have taken a back seat in the consultation on whether or not the Council should meet.

Soon after the meeting began at 5:35 P.M., the Council members took up the question of seating India and Pakistan at the Council table to participate in the meeting, though not to vote. Neither nation is among the 10 elected countries now on the Council.

Two seats at the table, across from the President, were left vacant when the session began and were filled by the Indian and Pakistani delegates after was decided to let them take part.

Several members of the packed gallery seemed—from their short bursts of applause and occasional jibes—to side with Pakistan.

During the evening, diplomats friendly to India made avail able the text of a letter from a man identified as a representative of Bangla Desh or Bengal Nation, to the President of the Council. The message, dated Dec. 3, was mentioned during the proceedings but not discussed in detail.

The author of the 1,000‐word letter was identified as “Justice Abu Sayeed Choudhury, leader of the Bangla Desh delegation to the United Nations.”

He said: “The party most concerned in the tragic and dangerous crisis, namely, the 75 million people of Bangla Desh, should be given an opportunity to explain their position. “It is only fair and just that people of Bangla Desh come before the representative of the Security Council.”
