BERLIN A TOPIC While U.S. authorities kept se- cret what specific issues are lik- ely to come up, it was appar- ent that the Berlin crisis and dealings with the Russi erally would be prime topics, Another item is atomic test- ing -- both the stalled British- American effort to win Soviet agreement of 'a test ban treaty and the prospect of U.S. resump- tion of atmospheric tests if a treaty is not signed. Still another problem facing the two allies is what share in atomic arms to give NATO.

A Soviet veto_the night before blocked Security Council approval of a resolution calling on India to pull back its inva- sion of the three small Portu- guese colonies on the west casi of India. The Indian army completed its conquest Tuesday. India also had led the cam- paign to condemn Portugal for refusing to furnish information on non - self - government ter- ritomes required by the UN charter. The vote was 90 to 3 with Portugal, South Africa and Spain voting no and Bolivia and France abstaining. - The resolution authorized cre- ation of a seven - man commit- tee to conduct an investigation of conditions in the Portuguese territories and called on mem- ber states "to deny to Portugal ary support and, assistance which may be used by it for the suppression of people of its non- self governing territories."
