U.N. Due 10 Debate
Russian Demand for
Big Five Pact Today
BY the Associefsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. TO-
The United Nations moved today
toward full-scale debate on Rus
sia's demand for q Big Five pact
to preserve world peace.
Russia's charge that Britain
and the United States are war
mongers lies at the base of Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Vishin-
sky's proposal for a peace pact
signed by Russia, Britain, the
United States, France and China.
It foreshadowed a new peak in
strained East-West relations, fol-.
lowing several days Of accelerated
drum-beating against what the
Russians call "Anglo-Americ
aggression"
Colonies Issue Up First.
The 59-nation Political Com
mittee gets into debate on the
peace pact proposal today if 1t
clears It's decks of the prewar
italian colonies problem. It is
expected to come up tomorrow
at the latest.
When Mr.. vishinsky, early in
this General Assembly session,
fought to get his peace pact pro-
posal on the program. he made
q three-fold statement:
/. The United Nations should
vote to prohibit atomic weapons.
2. Britain and the United
States are engaging in, acts that
are leading to a new war.
8. The Big Five should sign a
peace pact.
A United States delegate imme-
diately called it IAN olive branch
surrounded with poisonous thorns"
and labeled 1t "phony propa-
ganda."
Russia's atomic proposals are
already being debated in the Spe-
cial Political Committee. which
resumes its atomic debate this
afternoon, after q recess since
yesterday morning.
Formally, the Russian atomic
proposals are for simultaneous
outlawing of atomic weapons and
putting into effect an atomic
energy control statute.
Soviet Guards Sovereignty.
France. Canada, Britain and the
United States all argue that the
Soviet plan would fall far short Of
being effective. They favor con-
tinued discussions in the Atomic
Energy Commission based on the
majority plan which calls for rigid
inspection of all >nuclear energy
materials and plants under inter-
national control. Russia refuses to
yield any sovereignty to any in
.ternational body. Such a body
would be. Russia argued, a mo-
nopoly controlled by the United
States and Britain.
Argentina has new proposal
calling for prohibition of atomic
weapons in attack. It's proposal
would allow the nation attacked,
however, to use atomic weapons In
retaliation.
Yesterday. Soviet Delegate
Amazasp Arutiunian charged in
the debate on Italian colonies that
Britain and America" did not
want to desert bases in Libya or
give up colonial" controls be-
cause that area could be used as
. springboard for aggression
against the Soviet Union.

Swedish Influence
In US. Politics and

ment, has been given a govern.
ment grant to investigate the role
played by former Swedish emf
grants in the development of

months in the United States gath
ering newspapers, minutes of meet

working on book on the Swedish

The part played by Swedish
workers in this field DR.. Lindbom
believes to be an interesting and
important chapter in the history
of labor organizations in the
United States. The Scandinavians
early formed their own sections
within such labor organizations
and long maintained their own
clubs and newspapers, especially
in the Middle West. The move
ment received a special impetus
from the black-listed workers who
left Sweden after the general
strike in 1909 The last club was
dissolved in the beginning of the
194Os. DR.. Lindbom, who will leave
Sweden on August l, is the author

Religious Status
OF Swedes ested

STOCKHOLM.-A Gallup sam.
pie poll of religious conditions in
Sweden has revealed that while
only seven per cent of the popula-
ton attend church regularly, $3.50
have their children baptized, and
only nine per cent would withdraw
from their automatic membership
in the Lutheran state body, if they
could do so without specifying
what other denomination they
would join.
The most faithful church goers
are members of the middle classes,
while both manual workers and the
well-to-do are lax in that respect
Of all classes, as represented in
the 952 persons of legal age who
were interviewed, SO per cent ad-
mitted that they never sought the
personal counsel Of minister. The
compulsory instruction given in the
state church in preparation for the
first communion was called valu-
able by "a per cent, while SO per
cent favored a continuation of the
confirmation ceremony.
While Directing that the number
of persons interviewed was toe
small to give a true picture of a
population of close to seven mil
lion, the Conservative Svenska
Dagbladet of Stockholm admits
it probably mirrors the religious
conditions in the country fairly &C.
curately. It adds that young peo-
pie under twenty should have been
included.

King Gustavus III (1771-1792),

may begin producing yarn later
