The assembly recessed for a week, but diplomats: said they expect an indefinite adjourn- ment to follow after. several "house-keeping" problems have been settled. The new delay, following American and British insistence that the issue be brought to a head, raised doubts about whether the assembly would ever act to remove the vote of the Soviet Union and 12 other debtor countries. It also appeared to rule out any chance that the assembly, already. four months behind "schedule, would be. able to hold a normal session. Any adjournment until late spring or summer would prob- ably mean that most: problems would be put over to assem- bly's 20th session in the autumn. ISN'T ALL BLACK But some Western diplomats black. They conceded that a high price had been paid to avoid a showdown, but felt it was a price that had to be paid. They said both the United States and Russia had pulled back from the. brink of con- frontation and -tacitly ad- mitted that they did not want one, They hoped that the pull- back would give new impetus to negotiations. Informants also said there was general agreement that the negotiations now will be broad- ened to include all aspects of the peace - keeping problem, and not just the back debts. They indicated that talks on the back debts had failed be- cause of the Soviet Union, while agreeing to make a voluntary payment, was not prepared to put up enough money to bring her "over the hump of Article 19.7 This is the charter article which removes the assembly vote of a country whose debts equal two years' assessments.
