action by the Assembly on war
mongering" as result Of Russias
charges against the United States,
Greece and Turkey.
Russia agreed to withdraw these
charges in a last-minute effort to
save her resolution from defeat, but
it was voted down, anyway-para-
graph by paragraph. The United
States, in an equally sudden move,
agreed to vote for the joint resolu-
tion If certain amendments were
made.
The United States amendments
were submitted as Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky lost an effort to write into the
joint resolution = clause indicating
a need for preventing freedom OF
speech and the press from spread
ing propaganda for = new war"
Polish Amendment Accepted.
Earlier, in an effort to save his
own resolution from defeat, Mr..
Vishinsky had accepted = Polish
amendment which dropped the spe-
cific charges against the three coun-
tries involved in the Truman aid
program-the United States, Greece
and Turkey.
The committee then rejected the
Polish amendment by a vote of
% to 1s, with IA abstentions. This
knocked out the first paragraph of
the Soviet anti-"warmonger" meas
ure, which specifically named the
United States, Greece and Turkey.
The committee defeated the Sec
ond paragraph OF the Soviet pro-
posal, which declared that "tolera-
tion OF war propaganda" by any
nation was q violation Of U. N.
charter obligations.
The vote on the second Soviet
paragraph was 7s to 8, with 10 ab-
stentions.
The third Soviet paragraph, which
would have required all u. N. men,
bers to make "warnongering" a
crime, was defeated, AZ to 6, with
six abstentions.
The final Soviet paragraph was
rejected by q vote of 40 to 2, with
seven abstentions. This section
called for "the speediest imple-
mentation" of the Assembly's world
arms reduction resolution Of last
December IA.
Although each paragraph Of the
Soviet proposal had been defeated,
Turkey and South Africa demand
ed q vote on the entire proposal.
This brought from Mr.. Vishinsky
charge that they were opposing
United Nations cooperation"
No Vete on Whole Question.
Committee Chairman Joseph Bech
of Luxembourg ruled the Soviet
resolution was defeated by para
graphs and said there was no ne
cessity for q vote on the whole
measure.
On the Palestine question, dele
gates awaited Russian suggestion
that the U. N. place the Holy Land
under the veto-conscious Security
Council pending final independence
for Jewish and Arab nations through
the partition plan. This would
mean that the Soviet Union, United
States, Britain, France and China
would have the right to veto deci-
sions affecting Palestine In the in
terim period between the time the
Assembly approved partition and
the date the two created states were
ready to stand on their own.
Based on Partisan Plan.
The proposal was based on the
assumption that the partition plan
endorsed by Russia and the United
States and opposed by the Arabs
would be approved.
An authoritative source said the
Russians would argue that the. Holy
Land interim administration should
be under the Security Council be-
cause 1t is the only U. N. body with
enforcement powers. United States
sources, noting that American del
egation experts still were working
on proposals for implementation of
partition, declined comment on the
projected step. However; on the
basis of past criticism of "a Rus
sian vetoes in the Council, the
United States could be expected to
seek some other method. Possibili-
ties would be to ask the British to
continue their mandate or put the
temporary administration under the
General Assembly or Trusteeship
Council. ,..- .:-
