Iron Curtain
 Nations Are
 Being Called
Will Be Charged with Vio- Idtion Human Rights
 in Treaties

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-tR- Secretary of State Acheson an- nounced today that Soviet-dom mated Bulgaria, Hungary and Ru- mania will be charged in the United Nations general assembly with vio- lations of human rights.
 The Secretary emphatically re- newed at his news conference the long standing British American charges of "callous disregard" of the human rights clauses in the peace treaties with the Iron Cur tain nations.
 He said the three Soviet satel- lites have just turned down a pro posal by the United States that they name commissioners as provid- ed in the peace treaties, to take up the dispute over charges that they have repeatedly violated the agree ments. These call for fair trials and various personal freedoms.
 Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania, Acheson said in statement which he read, continue to insist that they have not violated the human rights clauses of the treaties but they are unwilling to apply the procedures specifically provided in the treaties for just such cases Of disputes over whether or not viola tions have taken place."
 The U. S. and Britain, acting along identical lines, have been trying for some two years to get the satellite countries to agree to act on the treaty violation charges, but without avail Soviet Russia has backed them, contending the trials of churchmen, and jailing of political foes of the Communists was an internal affair."
