Vishinsky Reiterates
Struggle for Peace Is
Basis Of Soviet Policy
Nv the Asxoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Russia' s
Andrei Y. Vishinsky declared once
again in a major speech to the
United Nations today that the
basis of Soviet foreign policy is a
struggle for peace.
At the same time. however. the
Soviet Foreign Minister renewed
his familiar charges that the
United States and Britain are pre-
pairing for a new war and under
mining the u. N. by systematic vio-
lations of the Charter.
Mr.. Vishinsky spoke before the
General Assembly in support OF
his rejected resolution condemning
the Western powers as warmongers
and calling for a five-power peace
pact. This proposal was over
whelmingly defeated last week by
the Assembly's 59-nation Political
Committee. He revived it in the
Assembly with no chance OF
changing the verdict.
Stain Statement Cited.
Mr.. Vishinsky referred to a
statement by Premier Stain in
1925 that the Soviet Union stands
for peace and said that statement
still is valid.
"The basis of Soviet foreign
policy is peace" he said.
Soviet bloc delegates applauded
when he declared moment later:
I'VE cannot be scared by the wav-
ing of flags"
Warren r. Austin. American
chief delegate, had been listed as
the days first speaker. but Mr..
Vishinsky sent a member OF his
delegation to protest to Assembly
president, Carlos P. Romulo.
The Russians claimed Mr.. Wish
insky was entitled to speak first
because they tossed in their peace
pact proposal before the Western
powers submitted their rival peace
plan.
He also attacked the "slander-
GUS thesis" that the Soviet Union
organizes revolutions and seeks
world domination through To-
menting uprisings. This, he said,
is nonsense.
Charges Held False.
The Russian plan would con-
denim the United States and
Britain for what Mr.. Vishinsky de-
scribes as widespread preparations
for war against the Soviet
Union. Western spokesmen have
described Mr.. Vishinsky's charges
as false and ridiculous on their
face and have called Russia S
peace suggestions phony propa-
ganda schemes.
The counter American-British
proposal amounts to a reafflrma-
ton of the peace pledges con-
tanned In the United Nations
Charter.

At present, neither President

upward or downward in regard to
the individual military depart
ments involved.
For one thing, the 1850 defense
appropriations bill has yet to re-
ceive final action by Congress and
great deal depends on the final
amount of money that is given
the armed services and just how
the funds are allotted among the
Army, Air Force and Navy De-
partments.

knowledge that great deal OF
politics" in the scrambling among
the Army, Navy and Air Force
Departments for more money and
power, could change the final pic
ture.
Pentagon officials declare, what
ever final decision is reached, that
defense employees working in
Washington will be less affected
by the cuts proportionately than
those workers in the field.
Defense employees here number
about $1,000 Of the total number
Of 881, 900 civilian workers in the
Defense Establishment through
out the country and overseas.
This is about 7 per cent of the
total.
Based on the 7 per cent ratio,
this would mean that about $500
of the $4,000 employees dismissed
would be from Washington.
But defense officials say this
will not be the case-that the
number of firings here will be
much lower. They base this on
the fact that in past reductions
in-force, defense employees in
Washington always have Jared
comparatively we'll. This is be-
cause the center of organization
is here and never is hit proper
tionately as hard as the field
service.
Furthermore, the actual num-
Der of dismissals here will be
lightened even further by the
fact that some OF it can be alb
sorbed through attrition-by not
filling the thousands OF civilian
vacancies that occur through
designations, retirements, mis-
conduct f1rings and deaths. these
officials say.
OF course. they point out. the
dismissals will be felt to some de-
gree here. But not with the i'm
pact, that will be 'fele by defense
employees outside of Washington.
