Directed al Russia,
Vishinsky Charges
By the Associated Press

general blast against the United
States today with Deputy Foreign
! Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky charg-
ing in the United Nations that the
Truman administration is building
a network of military bases directed
| against the Soviet Union and other
countries.
Mr.. ViShinsky also charged that
Greece, with the knowledge of the
United States and Britain, is pre-
pairing to hurl poison gas at Greek
guerrillas.' He did not amplify or
support with evidence his charge
concerning poison gas.
Mr. Vishinsky and another Slav
delegate, DR.. Juliusz Katz-Suchy,
| also delivered bitter personal at
tacks against John Foster Dulles,
foreign advisor to Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, and dragged in the United
States presidential election.
AdjOurns Without Vote.
! The speeches were made before
the 58-member of Political Commit
tee Of the General Assembly during
debate on the Balkan problem. Mr..
Dulles told the same committee yes
teroay that earlier Soviet charges
that the United States sought world
mastery were vicious falSehoods."
The committee wrangled from
3:15 to $50 pm. without reaching
a conclusive vote on the Greek
Balkan case, and finally adjourned
until Monday when the delegates
will tackle a mass of proposals.
Mr.. Vishinsky said Greece was
out to destroy the Greek partisans
'by any means, including toxic
gases" He added that the Greek
delegate, Panayotis .Pipinellis, has
shown "he was we'll acquainted with
toxic gases"
This is no accident" Mr.. Vishin-
sky said. Without any compunc-
ton, his government with the
knowledge of the United States and
Britain, is preparing to take such
action"
The Russian delegate said the
newspaper of Constantine Tsaldaris.
Greek foreign minister, advocated
last August that the Greek govern
ment use gas against the guerrillas.
Charges 22S Atlantic Bases.
| The major portion of Mr.. Vishin-
skyS attack was directed at Mr.
Dulles and at United States foreign
policy in general. Referring to a
statement made by Mr.. Dulles yes
terday that the United States had
stopped .disarming because of the
worlds fear of Russia, Mr.. Vishin-
sky asked:
| Who is threatening you? How
is the Soviet Union threatening
you?"
He said the Soviet Union is
threatening no one, but the United
/ States is the one who is threaten
ing. He said the United States has
228 bases in the Atlantic area alone.
Where aren't there American
bases?" he asked.
IF the United States doesn't
dream of world domination, he
asked, why build all these bases
all over the world? What is the
use of all these bases? They are
not just Christmas tree"
Turning to Mr.. Dulles, he said:
ITO say that you DO not want
! world mastery is a story for small
fchAdren."
| Chided About G. O. p. Defeat.
Both Mr.. Vishinsky and Mr.. Katz-
suchy chided Mr.. Dulles on the
Republican defeat in Tuesdays cleo
ton. which dashed Mr.. Dulles
hopes of being Secretary of State.
Mr.. Vishinsky told Mr.. Dulles Il
don't know whether you'll ever be
! Secretary of State, but I wish you
luck"
Mr.. Katz-Suchy said the views of
Mr.. Dulles ARE entirely personal
affairs and since last Tuesday en-
tirely a private matter He said
sarcastically that Mr.. Dulles BIZ
partisan attachment becomes much
stronger after the election"
. Mr.. Katz-Suchy told the commit
tee Mr.. Dulles was clipping share
coupons in his New York law Offices
while Polish and French resistance
fighters were in the field against
the Nazis."
Dulles Declines to Answer.
Mr.. Dulles sat impassively
through both assaults, then grabbed
a microphone and made this short
statement:
ut is not new for me to be sub
jected to personal attack, villifca-
ton and innuendo. I have not re-
piled before and 1 do not reply now
because I believe that delegates here
have an elemental duty to exercise
self-contror to prevent personal
brawling which would injure the
prestige and usefulness of the
Assembly,"
Mr.. VishinSky also chided British
Minister of State Hector Mcneil for
what he called his strategic love-
of Greece.
The debate was complicated early
IN the day by wrangle over the
proposed showing of a Yugoslav
government film about Greek chill
dren in Yugoslavia. Western dele
gates objected to the showing of the
film on the ground it was propa-
panda and not documentary owl
