PARIS. Jan. 12.-Russia's An
drei Y. Vishinsky proposed today
q simultaneous ban on atomic
weapons and international control
Of atomic energy on a ''continu-
ing basis" He called this a tire
mendous and momentous step for
ward" and challenged the West
to match his action.
Mr.. Vishinsky also renewed his
demands for urgent consideration
Of the Korea issue and called for
an immediate cease-f1re, with the
opposing forces to withdraw from
the 38th Parallel in 10 days. He
called for the withdrawal of all
foreign forces and volunteers
from Korea in three months.
He made his move in the politi-
cal committee Of the U. N. Gen.
eral Assembly in what he said
was an attempt to meet the de-
mands of the West.
Delegation to Study 1t.
When Mr.. Vishinsky tossed a
revised resolution before the po-
litical committee at the end of a
2-hour speech, Ernest A. Gross
said the American delegation
would study it carefully.
The Soviet Union demanded in
1948 the conclusion of simultane-
Gus conventions prohibiting the
atomic weapons and setting up
controls. That was rejected by
the U. N. Assembly at that time
but Mr.. Vishinsky insisted today
his proposal for simultaneous pro-
hibition and control was COM
pletely new.
He spelled out more completely
than ever before the meaning of
continuing control" Today was
the first time that he had re-
affirmed these proposals in a major
resolution and he apparently did
it in response to repeated Western
refusals to accept prohibition with
out control.
Would Push Date Back.
He said the Russians want to
reach agreement on the atomic
issue and so were removing the
last obstacles to agreement"
Mr.. Vishinsky repeated his pre-
vious demands for world dis
armament conference, but sug-
gested the date be pushed back
from June 1, 1852, to July Is, 1852.
Yesterday, the Assembly created a
West-backed disarmament COM
mission and instructed it to begin
work quickly on proposals to reg
ulate. limit and balance reduction
Of all armed forces in the world.
One apparent concession today
was Mr.. Vishinsky's acceptance of
the name of the new disarmament
commission as created by the
u. N. instead Of the long name
he favored-a Commission for
Atomic Energy and Conventional
Armaments. These were the modi-
fications he promised last night,
when he said he hoped for their
approval.
DenOunces Proposals.
Mr.. ViShinsky also carried on a
post-mortem battle against a
Western-proposed plan to meet
the threat Of aggression in the
world through collective action.
The u. N. adopted that plan over
Soviet bloc objections this morning.
He said the collective measures
and disarmament proposals just
adopted never would come into
force as long as fighting continued
in Korea.
He denounced q. N. proposals
for concluding an armistice in
Korea and said emphatically that
on-the-spot negotiators at Pan
munjon have made no progress
at ALL"
He added that if the U. N. wants
to see peace in the war-torn coun-
try. it should adopt Russia's pro-
posal that all foreign troops and
foreign volunteers get out of
Korea within three months of an
afmistice. The Soviet formula is
contained In comprehensive
peace" program introduced by
Mr.. Vishinsky which appears Ger
tain to be defeated.
Blames Neg0tiators.
He said that the insistence of
U. N. negotiators that the North
Koreans stop building or repairing
airflelds during the proposed
armistice was entirely unfair" !"
He said the North Koreans needed
to keep these fields so they could
repel U. N. attacks.
He blamed u. N. negotiatorS for
bringing in "all sorts of unfair
conditions and protracting the
negotiations" on the scene. He
said this could only be interpreted
as an unwillingness to conclude
the talks successfully. Then he
suggested that the reason the
talks have not been wound up was
because it had been discovered
that tungsten exists in North
Korea.
The anti-aggression resolution
adopted today enacts the basic
principles of a unity -for-peace
proposal put forward by Secretary
Of State Achesop.
It further strengthens the Veto
free General Assembly in meet
ing threats to peace, such as
the Korean outbreak, when the
Security Council finds itself ham
strung by the big-power veto.
used most frequently by the Soviet
Union.
The resolution would permit
the United Nations to call on
regional security forces. such as
