...about the plan in advance and in secret. In Washington John Foster Dulles called in Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov (whose reaction, said Dulles later, was "not exactly heart-warming"), and in New York Henry Cabot Lodge went up to the Park Avenue residence of Soviet Delegate Arkady A. Sobolev to outline the U.S. offer privately...
...Nightmare. The proposal won immediate endorsement from other members of the Security Council-such disparate nations as France, Canada, Sweden, Japan, Iraq-and a cool, but not final response from Russia's Sobolev. Then came the week's most dramatic turn. Sitting to the right of Lodge, who was president of the council, U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold murmured that he would like to speak...
Back to the Brink. At voting time ten hands around the semicircular council table went up in favor of the U.S. resolution ; Sobolev sat impassively, his hands folded in his lap.

By casting the Soviet Union's 79th *veto in the Security Council, Sobolev effectively killed a resolution, jointly sponsored by the U.S., Cuba. Britain and Australia, to send Council President Gunnar Jarring of Sweden to Kashmir as a step "toward the settlement of the dispute." The resolution did not mention plebiscite, but noted in passing that former U.N. resolutions calling for demilitarization and a plebiscite in Kashmir...
