Timed With Election
BY the Associofed Press

PARIS, Oct. 30.-The Slav bloc
injected into United Nations de-
bate today Prime Minister
Stains charges that the West
ern Powers are laying the foun-
dations for a new war.
Western delegates said they be-
lieved this marked the. start of a
new and furious propaganda drive
timed to coincide with the windur
of the American presidential cam
paign.
This view was supported by Brit
ish Minister of State Hector Mcneil
who said Mr.. Stains statement
on world affairs is just another
propaganda trumpet" Mr.. Mcneil
in q U. N. radio interview, called
the Stain statement "phoney" and
said it was timed to come bang on
the eve" of Tuesdays election. ~
Stains Words Quoted.
Kuzma Kiselev, White Russian
delegate, was the first to bring Mr.
Stains declaration before the U. N
Mr.. KiSelev spoke during the Bal
kaas debate in the General Assem-
blEs 58-member Political Commit
tee
He quoted the Soviet prime minis
teEs words that the American and
British leaders fear agreement with
Russia lest such an agreement would
undermine the position of the war;
managers
The White Russian delegate said
ting new warmongers" in Greece
Should heed also Mr. Stains declar-
ation that a shameful downfall
awaits all "warmongers."
The new Soviet move bears out
what most delegates now concede-
the failure of U. N. leaders to keep
the General Assembly from being
Influenced by the American cleo
tions.
50 Issues Are Postponed.
One of the main reasons for
transferring the Assembly to Paris
was. to get away from the presi-
DENTAL campaign, but the leaders
new acknowledge it is impossible
to keep the campaign out of the
assembly hall.
Palestine has been a major ex-
ample of how this works. First
the Arab and Latin American dele
cations teamed up to postpone de-
bate in the ASsembly's Political
Committee until after the election
Then, on Friday, the Security Coun-
Gil also ducked action on Palestine
by referring proposed sanctions on
Israel to a sub committee, where
It will remain until after Tuesday,
at least.
The Political Committee previous
ly had put the question of the Ital-
ian colonies far down the list of
items to be discussed and this will
not come up until after the election,
If at all
Secretary General Concerned.
The delegates admit that the
United States has a bipartisan for
eign policy, with Republicans and
Democrats seeing eye-to-eye on
major foreign matters. But they
want the winning candidate to state
his views in writing after the cleo
ton so they can have some assur-
ance of the future American policy
This is especially important here,
1t is said, in view of the apparent
Soviet plans to capitalize on the
post-election period between Tues
day and Inauguration day next
January Some leaders expressed
the belief Mr.. Stains statement
WIS the opening gun in this CAM
p&gn.

cdfned over the Berlin dispute as a

Liz was studying every possible way
