...hours the Security Council debated a dramatic appeal from Nagy to Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. But at 5:15 a.m. the Soviet Union's Arkady S. Sobolev vetoed a resolution censuring the Russian attack on Hungary on the grounds of "interference with the internal affairs of Hungary." Said Lodge: "I am horrified by such cynicism." The debate was taken up in the U.N. General Assembly later, where 50 nations approved (with eight votes against) a U.S. resolution urging Russia to withdraw its troops from Hungary immediately...
...seemed to be arguing for unilateral U.S. action in halting tests. Last week he was talking about a treaty arrangement-without conditions beyond mutual promise to stop testing H-bombs. He found a ready taker for that sort of arrangement. In the United Nations, Chief Soviet Delegate Arkady Sobolev said Russia is ready to enter into an agreement for "an immediate halt" to the hydrogen tests-"without conditions." For years, the Russians had been arguing for nuclear disarmament -without conditions. Dwight Eisenhower, and Harry Truman before him, have rejected the proposition.

Top-ranking offender, said State in its properly diplomatic memorandum, was Arkady A. Sobolev, Russia's chief U.N. delegate. Sobolev could stay in the U.S. if he tended to his U.N. business, but the U.S. was firmly booting out of the country his two aides and principal agents in the redefection case, Aleksandr Guryanov and Nikolai Tuakin. When Zarubin had heard all this, he drew...
...next 20 minutes, the longest fusillade of vetoes in the U.N.'s veto-pocked history rent the Security Council. Tsiang, as promised, used China's veto for the first time. He vetoed Outer Mongolia. Russia's Arkady Sobolev, as he had warned, sprayed 15 vetoes at non-Communist candidates (including two, South Korea and South Viet Nam, proposed only by Tsiang...
