Byrnes Attacks Ministers s ak As Loose, Wicked

Paris, Aug. 9-(UP)-The peace conference today over rode Russia's objections and approved a set of rules in- cluding liberalized voting pro- cedure after Secretary of State James F. Byrnes de- nounced Soviet Foreign Min- ister V. NJ. Molotov for utter ing loose and wicked talk" about preparations for a third World War.
 Russia fought to the end against the rules, even insist ing on paragraph by para- graph vote on the voting pro- cedure section. As in the Rules Commission the vote went Is to 5 against Russia and the entire set Of rules was then adopted by a vote of 15 to 1 with two abstentions-
 Byrnes' new attack on Russia was couched in the sIlarpest language he has yet employed publicly to- ward Americas wartime ally. Attacks Three Points
 we have not fought for free world in order to dictate peace to our allies or let them dictate peace to us" he said.
 By what right" said Byrnes, do those who vote ballot after ballot with the Soviet Union call those of us who do not always agree with the Soviet Union a bloc? What loose and wicked talk is thisI T think those nations who sent their sons overseas to fight the common enemy should have a right to participate in the making Of peace. And take exception to the charge that such nations are trying to foment World War III"
 The voting rule approved by the conference provides that the con- fereeS shall forward to the Council Of Ministers two classes Of treaty recommendation-those which re- ceive a two-thirds vote and those which receive a mere majority vote. i Lineup Unchanged
 Russia fought to exclude recon1- mendatons which obtain only majority vote.
 The voting lineup was the same as ln the Rules Commission with Russia obtaining a maximum of six votes for her viewpoint. However, In the confusion of voting on the two-thirds rule Yugoslavia voted against Russia, causing Chairman Georges Bidault to announce the vote as Is to 5. However, it was believed that the official records would be changed to put Yugosla- via back in the Russian bloc, nlak- ing the vote l5 to $.
 In the midst of voting on the rules Yugoslavia raised again her demand that Albania be invited to the peace conference. However, at the suggestion of Byrnes consider atlon of the Albanian question was put over until after the rules were out of the way. ~....
 Nations voting with Russia on the rules question were the Ukraine. White Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia. and Czechoslovakia.
 -~ Appeals For Unity
 The French delegate, Couve de Murville, made a last minute appeal to Russia to drop her opposition to the majority vote provision. Oth- erwise, he said, the conference had no alternative but to ratify the rules over her objection.
 T don't think the world would understand that the conference was able to divide on differences of this nature" said De Murville. France therefore sends out an urgent ap- peal to the Soviet delegation to ac- cept the decision reached by the commission"
 However, K. M. Kiseev of White Russia promptly repeated the So- viet argument and charged that the majority vote rule was adopted be- cause Of extreme pressure brought to bear" by the United States and Britain.
 History has shown Us that errors made at peace conferences are cor- rected by wars" he said. We are not here to SOW the seeds of the next war;
 Molotov had characterized the majority vote plan as an error which must be rectified."
 On the final vote for acceDtanca of the rules as a whole Poland and Czechoslovakia abStained.
 At P. M. 1l A. M. EDT.) Byrnes will take the chairmanship which will then start to rotate among the big five every three days.
 The afternoon session will consid- CT inviting Albania to the confer ence and possibly similar requests on behalf of Cuba, Mexico, Egypt, Iran and TJ1xemhal1r0
