a Stern-Supported plan look
ing toward reduced ornaments
In so doing, it ignored Russian
protests that the United States
and Britain are in a mad arma-
ments race" aimed against the
Soviet Union.
The western-supported proposal
recommends that the Security Coun-
Gil, working through a commission
for conventional armament, should
explore the possibility of establish
ing an international organ of con-
troll for receiving, checking and
publishing information to be sup
piled to all u N members. In effect,
it keeps the Armaments Commission
at work for another year.
The vote was 43 to 6, with the
Russian bloc voting no.
The Assembly then began roll
call vote. paragraph by paragraph,
on Russia's demand for one-third
cut in the armed forces Of the five
great powers within a year and for
a ban on the atom pomp.
Vishinsky Refuses Data.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky told the As
sembly during earlier debate he
would not answer questions in the
Political Committee as to how many
soldiers Russia has under arms, and
would not answer them now.
Mr.. Vishinsky said information
would be supplied in due time to the
international control organ which
was suggested in his resolution. The
Soviet resolution already had been
rejected by the 58-nation Political
Committee, which had approved the
Western n-supported resolution.
Mr.. Vishinsky said the organ Rus
sia suggested should receive all au-
thorized data on armaments and
Russia would be ready to submit
this simultaneously with the other
major powers if they agreed to such
q plan.
Mr.. Vishinsky declared the United
States is building a Western Euro
pean system directed against Russia.
In Britain and the United States,
he said, there is war psychosis"
against the Soviet Union.
The Russian spoke after John
Foster Dulles of the United States
attacked the SovietS' proposal for a
one-third arms cut as almost ire
sponsible" and cruel deception"
Mr.. Dulles urged it to approve
unanimously the majority proposal.
Russia attacked that proposal and
tossed in her counterplan that
would reduce military personnel and
arms of the United States, Britain,
France, Russia and China.
British, French Back Dulles.
Like Mr.. Dulles, British Minister
of State Hector Mcneil and French
Foreign Minister Robert Schuman
rejected the Russian proposal. MI
Mcneil termed it unrealistic and
Mr.. Schuman said it was deceiving
The Assembly already has voted
down a Russian demand that the
U. N. Atomic Energy Commission
draw up two treaties: One calling
for ban on the atom bomb and the
other establishing and atomic con-
troll system.
Mr.. Vishinsky told the Assembly
that the majority thus has twice
brushed aside the atom bomb ques-
ton. He added that Russia has
repeatedly turned down the inter-
national atomic control scheme put
forward in 1916 by Bernard Baruch
of the United States.
The Russian said the principle
of atomic control by stages is "ut-
terly unacceptable and that such
a plan would open the door to abuse
by any control organ. The Rus
slams, he said, want simultaneous
control over all phases of atomic
production.
He charged that the United States
is trying to obtain control of atomic
raw materials and at the same time
Is retaining its ownership of the
finished product.
The Western powers have rejected
Russias plan for atomic controls on
