A five-week conference of UNESCO ended harmoniously in Sofia, Bulgaria, but Britain’s threat to withdraw in seven weeks still hangs over the organization. Britain submitted notice last Dec. 31, when the United States withdrew from the 160-nation U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, that it also would withdraw. Like Washington, the British called for less anti-Western rhetoric, more rigorous management and fewer politically controversial UNESCO programs. Britain is expected to make a final decision after the conference results are analyzed.
