Korea Treaty
Would Have The United
Nations Security Council
Intervene I'm Korean
Arinistice Negotiations

PARIS lP-Soviet Russia. in a
surprise move. proposed today
that the United Nations Security
Council intervene in the Korean
armiStice negotiations. II asked
that both Korea and the leSsening
of world tensions be considered at
high level, possibly by foreign
ministers or chiefs of state.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrel
NiShinsky submitted the proposal
to the Donation Political Commit
tee after long speech denOunc-
ing a Western collective action
plan. and limiting ominouSly at
events to come in Southeast Asia.
The American delegation imme-
dlately frowned on the ViShinsky
proposal. Pending official COM
ment. U. S. sources said the So
Wet resolution was unacceptable.
The Americans said that since
the SOviets have veto power in
the Council, it would be useless
to bring the Korean armiStice ne
gotiations to that body. adding
that the place for successful CON
cluSlon of such talks is in Korea,
with the veto-free General Assem-
bly, deciding later on a political
settlement.
ViShinsky proposed that the
Council be called under Article %
of the U. N. Charter which au-
thorizes governments to send
chiefs OF state or foreign minis
tiers as delegates to such Council
meetings. This made the proposal
look like another version of the
U. S. S. r. demand-keynote of
its current peace offensive-for a
flve-power meeting, including Red
China to bring about pact of
peace.
The Soviet suggestion was Of
fered to counter the 1l-power draft
calling upon the U. N. to set up
new anti-aggreSSiOn machinery. II
was made after VishinSky deliv-
cred a 37-page speech denOuncing
the Western draft as one that
could lead only to war. He said
the American-spOnsored proposal

words. war"
In that speech, ,Vishinsky limited
at things to come in Asia. He ac.
cused the U. S. of ferrying Chi

attack on the Chinese Reds. These
measures. he said, would be de.
