ton on a charge of distributing
sample ballots in the recent
democratic primary election, was
upheld by jefferson Circuit
Court jury which assessed a fine

vishinsky Repeats
Claim West Wrecked
Berlin Settlement
BY the Assoeiafed Press

PARIS, Nov 11.-Russia charged
anew today that Britain and the
United States wrecked attempts to
end the Berlin deadlock.
In an angry speech, Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky told the 58-member United Ma
tions Political Committee:
I'VE were told if we took one step
In the Berlin question. then inter-
national confidence would prevail.
We did take that step, but it was
wrecked"
Mr.. Vishinsky said Britain and
the United States Simply crossed
out and pigeon-holed"a agreements
with Russia in Moscow on the Ber-
lin deadlock, as well as agreements
reached at Yalta in 1945.
Arms Reduction Debated.
The agreement on the Soviet
blockade of Berlin reached by the
four big powers in Moscow failed
at the Berlin level of the negotia-
tions over Russian demands for con-
tinued controls over traffic. A neu-
trail nations resolution seeking to
mediate the Berlin conflict was
vetoed in the Security Council by
Mr.. Vishinsky.
Vishinsky's latest TRADE came dur
ing a debate on Soviet proposal
for one-third reduction in arma-
ments by the big powers and a ban
on atomic weapons.
Armistice Day hopes that the cold
war might lessen waned, meanwhile,
with the Russians warning to Al
lied Berlin commanders to keep
their airlift planes from straying
out of the 20-nile corridors or risk
having them forced down.
Propaganda Stunt Seen.
Some quarters here said they now
looked on the Moscow press treat
ment of reports of a possible Stain
Truman meeting as purely a propa-
ganda stunt. Any enthusiasm over
such a prospect here was ebbing.
American delegation sources con-
firmed that Secretary of State
George c. Marshall will meet Presi-
dent Truman in Washington later
this month for complete review of
foreign policy problems.
While the survey would include
all aspects of the current policy
conflicts between the United States
and Russia. the American delega-
tioH said it knew of no definite
plan for a meeting of Mr.. Truman
and Soviet Prime Minister Stain.
Truman Plans No Meeting.
Dispatches from Moscow yester-
day reported all newspapers car
ried stories of possible meeting be-
tween the two chiefs of state Most
delegates here took the widespread
publicity in Moscow to mean the
Russians attached some Importance
TO the possibility of a meeting.
At Key West, Fla, where Mr.. Tru-
man is vacationing, a White House
spokesman said there are no plans
of any kind for a Truman-S Stain
meeting. The spokesman said the
President has no intention of going
to Moscow. but stands by his offer
to confer with Mr.. Stain if the
latter wishes to visit Washington.
