United States Asks U. N. To Ignore Russia's Stalling
By TOM HOGE
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (P) - The United States prodded U. N. members yesterday to ignore Soviet stalling tactics and act quickly on the American call for combined action to seek peaceful use of outer space.
The Americans and their co-sponsors have proposed that a special committee make a wide-ranging study of peaceful use of outer space and report back to next year's General Assembly.
The Russians have indicated their price for cooperation would be approval of their rival demand for a ban on use of outer space for military purposes and elimination of U. S. military bases overseas.
