Soviet Bloc Refuses
To Pay Its Share;
CIimux Nearing


Oct. % (AP).-The Russians
made clear today they intend
to keep harassing Dag Ham,
marskjold in the apparent hope
Of forcing him to quit as secre-
tary general.
The attacks. which have been
steadily mounting in intensity,
are expected to reach q
climax Monday or Tuesday
when Mr.. Hammarskjold is
slated to put in an estimated
bill Of $50 to 5000 million to
cover the cost of the Congo
operation through next year.
The Soviet bloc served notice
in the 99-nation financial COM
mittee yesterday that 1t will
not pay any part Of the Congo
bill. In some of the harshest
language yet used. Czecho-
slovakia accused the United
Nations Of playing . dirty
role" in the strife-torn Afri-
can state and charged Mr..
dammarskjold with hypocrisy
and showing partiality to the
West.
The attack spanked q sharp
reply from the United States.
which branded it a move aimed
at wrecking the United Nations.
U. s. Delegate DepIores
Albert r. Bender, United
States delegate. called the
Czech statement "one Of the
most deplorable ever made in
this body"
He said that by charging the
United Nations with playing a
dirty role, Czech delegate Miro
slav Nacvalac had hurled in
suits at Mr.. Hammarskjold.
the United States Government
and all other nations which
voted to set up q U. N. force
in the Congo.
"Our organization is built on
good faith" Mr.. Bender de-
clared. 81 suggest that who
ever attempts to destroy that
good faith is not only violat-
ing the spirit of the Charter.
He may be considered to have
as his goal the total deStruc-
ton Of the United Nations it
self by sowing the seeds Of dis
trust"
Later the Soviets issued a
statement accusing Mr.. Ham
marskjold Of following a policy
Of direct sabotage" Of Security
Council resolutions on the
Congo.
Reds Back Lumumba
The Russians charged that
Patrice Lumumba, deposed
Congo Premier. was being de-
MED the right to appear be-
fore the General Assembly to
report on the situation. It also
accused Mr.. HammarSkjold Of
refusing to insure normal con-
ditions for functioning Of the
Congo Parliament.
Mr.. Hammarskjold's Congo
Advisory Committee met last
night, repeatedly to discuss the
feasibility Of having the U. N.
try to convene the Congo Par
lament to spell out just who is
the actual head of government.
Informants believed that the
Russians knew Of this and were
trying to get on the bandwagon
by issuing q call for Parliament
to meet.
The Red campaign against
Mr.. Hammarskjdld got a jolt
in the Social Committee, which
defeated GALL a move by Com
munist Poland tc bar the Sec
retary generals Office from CO.
operating in new programs to
improve the status of women in
newly emerging nations.
Poland had announced last
week she would not accept any
recommendations to work with
Mr.. Hammarskjold. but only
the nine Soviet bloc nations,
Guinea and Ceylon supported
her in the balloting.
Meanwhile, a move to win an
Assembly seat for representa-
tives of Mr.. Lumumba was
begged down by a growing rift
in the 45-nation Asian-African
bloc.
A recent meeting Of the bloc
broke up in a row as Ghana,
Guinea, India, Morocco and the
United Arab Republic pressed
their proposal to seat a Lu-
mumba delegation.
