To Continue Balkan
Work Another Year
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Oct. 28.-Russia' S
Andrei Y. Vishinsky said today
the United Nations investigation
of Greece's civil war produced
"a pile of garbage"
Mr.. Vishinsky, in an attack on the
U. N. Special Commission on the
Balkans, rejected a resolution sup
ported by the other four big powers
to continue its work for another
year. He addressed the 5S-nation
Political Committee.
Earlier, Col. Alexander Sheppard,
a former UNRRA official in Greece.
said the conflict in the Balkans
could be settled on the basis of a
five-point program which would bar
from Greece missions such as those
now maintained by Britain and the
United States. He said Markos
Vafiades. the Communist leader OF
the Greek rebels. told him he would
negotiate for peace on such a basis.
Australian Offers Plan.
Col. Sheppard, an Australian,
made the statement at news con-
ference called by Julius Katz-Suchy
Polish delegate.
Britain, France. China and the
United States had proposed that
UNSCOB investigate for another
year the Greek charges that AL
oania. Bulgaria and Yugoslavia have
been aiding the Greek guerrillas.
Mr. Vishinsky contended that the
creation of UNSCOB IN the first
place was a violation of the U. N
Charter because it was "a direct
interference in the internal affairs
of sovereign states"
The commission has reported that
Albania. Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
have abetted the rebels in the
Greek civil war. Mr., Vishinsky
contended the report was biased,
baseless and nonsense" It cannot
be approved, he said.
Urges Rejection Of Report.
"No, no, no, no." the Russian
Deputy Foreign Minister exclaimed.
I'VE cannot do that, 1t is pile of
garbage that has no probative evi-
dence."
He said the report should be
thrown out Ito clear the air in this
committee"
Mr.. Vishinsky was angered by the
reports system of numbering wit
nesses rather than naming them.
I'VE may have witness 6-W-ll0
and witness 6-W-112," he said.
Who are these witnesses? Who are
these disembodied numbers?"
He quoted the report as admitting
Witness 6-W-110 looked stupid, and
added:
1T seems that the stupider the
witness, the more reliable his evi-
dence may be considered"
Mr.. Vishinsky attacked the Brit
ish and American delegates on their
recent statements on the Greek case
He questioned evidence cited from
the UNSCOB report two days ago
by United States Delegate John
Foster Dulles, saying the cases cited
could not be found in the report
He accused Britain's Hector Mcneil
of inventing evidence cited in a
speech by the Briton two days ago
Called Biased Nonsense.
Then, turning back to the reports
witnesses, he exclaimed:
Their testimony falls into dust
and cinders. 1t is nonsense, garage
garbage that has to be disposed
of as soon as possible 1t is biased
nonsense and a reflection on the
honor and loyalty and perhaps
even the destiny of nations
Mr.. Katz-Suchy told newsmer
the five points would be put before
the Political Committee of the AS
sembly, now debating the Greek
case, by one Of the minority delega-
tions in the committee.
The Polish delegate said he had
decided to call the news conference
after the committee refused tt
hear Miltiades Phorphyrogenis
whom he identified as the minister
of justice in the Markos regime.
/ Col. Sheppard said Markos tolo
him last month that he would CO.
operate with a D. N. Good Offices
Committee to settle the Greek
Balkan troubles, but he never would
cooperate with the present Balkans
commission.
Col. Shepphard said Markos told
