war against Germany too late to
be of any assistance.
This was the first time the
Security council delegates had
ever heard the Russian delegate
make such a strong and sustained
attack against the United States.
The 25-minute speech was Gromy-
kos second policy declaration of
the day.
In a forenoon address to the
United Nations commission for
conventional ornaments, he at
tackled the United States and Brit
ain for raising obstacles" to the
speedy reduction of world arma-
ments.
Wants Bomb Banned
He demanded again in the Arms
commission, as he has done in the
U. N. Atomic Energy commission,
that the nations agree to an i'm
mediate International convention
banning the atomic bomb. He also
called upon the commission to step
up measures to cut the national
loads of ornaments and armed
forces.
But Gromyko saved his major
effort for the afternoon speech to
the Security council After rak-
ing the United States proposals
toward Greece fore and aft, he
drew these conclusions:
1.-THE measures taken by the
government of the United States
in respect to Greece and Turkey
seriously undermine the authority
Of the United Nations organization
and inevitably produce distrust in
relations among the states-mem-
bers of the United Nations.

States government to connect post

The Cleveland Indians pulled into
q 6 to 5 lead in their series with
the New York Giants by winning
today's game, 81. Chuck Embree
was the winning pitcher, Gene
Thompson the loser.
After a double by Lockman and
a single by Mize had produced a
Giant run in the first inning, the
Indians tied the count in second
on 4 single and a pair OF New
York errors.
A walk off Gene Thompson, who
succeeded Bill Voiselle, plus a
triple by Manager Lou Boudreau
in the seventh, accounted for an
Indian run.

At this point the commissioners
realized that nothing was to be
