World Peace Threatened, Reds Claim
 Soviet No. 2 Expert
 In Foreign Matters
 Arrives in London

Russia's No. 2 foreign policy expert, Andrei Vishinsky, ar rived today to support a Soviet charge before the UNO that the presence of British troops in Greece and Indonesia threatened the peace of the world.
 British government leaders and the American delegation to the UNO Assembly met early today to discuss the organizations first case of one big power accusing another of con- duct violating the spirit if not the letter of the San Francisco Charter.
 The British position was said to be that the government had nothing to fear from UNO examination of it's policy in Greece and Indonesia. At least some British officials were said to feel that an investigation might dispel misunderstanding about Brit ish motives in both places.
 Had Business Elsewhere
 Vishinsky, Russian vice-foreign commissar and head of the Soviet delegation to London, landed at Tangmere airdrome, Sussex, after flight from Berlin. He was unable to attend the early sessions of the UNO meeting because of business in the Balkans and Moscow.
 Russia and the Soviet Ukraine last night asked the UNO Security Coun- .cil to investigate and act on what they described as threats to the peace arising from the presence of British troops in Greece and Indo- nesia. Russia specifically accused the British of interfering in Greek in- ternal affairs-the identical charge made against the Soviet Union be- fore the UNO by Iran last week.
 .fAthenS dispatches quoted Pre-
 mier Themistocles Sophoulis as
 saying that British troops were in
 Greece with the complete con-
 sent of the Greek government and
 in full collaboration with it to re-
 establish order" He said the Soviet
 representation to the UNO in any
 case has no relation to the present
 situation in Greece, but belongs to
 the sphere of more general ues-
 tions which concern the big A.
 lies.D
 Britain Has Good Case
 Responsible quarters said the Brit ish government would avoid any more which might be interpreted to mean that Britain was seeking to prevent the Security Council from discussing the Soviet charges.
 British sources said they believed Britain had a very good case" in both Greece and Indonesia, and that Britain had nothing to hide" If the Security Council wants to dis cuss the charges, informants said, the British will place no obstacle in it's way.
 Many UNO officials reacted with to the effect that isn't this what we have created the UNO and Security Council for?"
 Organizational work of the As- sembly proceeded, despite the fact that it was overshadowed by the po- litical situation.
 Protests Resolution
 N. J. O. Maxim, Australian dele- date, put in the record a protest against the Big Three atomic energy resolution adopted yesterday. He pro- tested against its being ansWerable only to the Security Council and not to the Assembly. Maxim, first pres ident of the Security Council, reiter- ated a pledge that Australia would continue to champion the rights of the little nations.
 The United States vigorously op- posed in the Assembly's economic and Finance Committee a British resolution on the UNRRA. The Americans felt that the resolution might invite establishment of the UNRRA as a permanent relief body. They want the organization to com plete its work as scheduled by the end of this year in Europe and by March, i947 in the Far East.
 Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Foreign Minister Ernest BeVin met hastily after midnight for a long talk. Plans were made for a full eab- met meeting.
 Statement Expected
 British officials indicated Bevin might make a public statement to- day answering the Russian charges.
 One British official described the Russians move as retaliation lon schoolboy level' for the Iranian re- quest that the Security Council in- vestigate Russian actions in Iran.
 He expressed doubt whether the Soviet Union could obtain the re- qulred majority of any ' Of the II council members to add the Greek and Indonesian issues to the agenda.
