u. n. Commission Due
To Hear New Red Plea
For Ban on A-bombs
By the Associated Press


LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. 15.-Rus-
sia's twice-beaten plan for curb
| ing big power armaments and the
atomic bomb is due for another
airing today in the United Ma
tions.
Jacob A. Malik, Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister. is expected by
Western delegates to lay before
the U. N. Commission for Con-
ventional Armaments the Soviet
demand for one-third cut in the
armed forces of the five great
powers and for ban on A-bombs.
The U. N. Assembly in Paris
beat down this proposal on No
vember 10. The vote was 80 to 6.
Mr.. Malik brought the ideas up
again in the Security Council and
was beaten there last Thursday.
Russia and the Soviet Ukraine
voted alone for them. The nine
other members of the Security
Council abstained. He said he
would try again in the arms and
atomic commissions.
The last arms commission meet
ing was August II, 1948. The dele
gates suspended work and sent the
Russian-Western deadlock to the
Assembly.
The Assembly voted, 43 to 6, on
November 10 for the commission
to continue work on regulating
and reducing arms.
The first job for the commission
under the Assembly resolution is
to make proposals for receiving,
checking and publishing informa-
ton to be supplied by member
countries with regard to their ef-
fective forces and the conventional
armaments.
