Soviet foreign minister V. M. Mol- |
otov announced today that Russia
was pleased to accept a United
States proposal that all members
of the United Nations submit
complete figures on all troops, both
at home and overseas.
He declared that Russia ana tne
United States were in complete
accord and added that Russia was
ready to draft agreements to carry
out the proposal which originally
was made in the U. N. assembly
by Warren R. Austin, head of the
U. S. delegation.
Molotov spoke before the assem
bly’s political committee, which
had met to take up a Soviet pro
posal that all U. N. members re
port on troops and bases they
maintain on non-enemy territory.
Molotov withdrew this and sub
mitted a new proposal which pro
vided for reports giving the fol
lowing information:
1. Where and in what number
troops are located on non-enemy
territory.
2. At what points in enemy
| states and in what numbers allied
1 troops are located.
3. At what points in these terri
tories air and naval bases of allied
states are located and the size of
garrisons in such bases.
4. The information should apply
to the situation as of Nov. 1, 1946.
He extemporaneously broaden
ed the question to include data on
troops at home. He said the Soviet
government was ready to accept
Austin’s proposal in this respect
and to conclude agreements to this
effect.

Crash-Landed
In France
PARIS, (>P) — Dispatches from
Grenoible said today that air and
land parties searching for 11
Americans, including a Brigadier
General and three officers’ wives
whose C-53 transport crashlanded
yesterday high in the southern
French Alps, had returned to Gre
noble and reported failure thus
far in the quest.
The rescue crews have found
no trace of the plane of its occu
pants, the Grenoble advices said.
These accounts conflicted with a
report of U. S. Army air force of
ficials in Frankfurt earlier, which
said two U. S. bomber pilots had
spotted the wreckage and circled
it to guide the ground parties to
the site.
The plane went down on a
flight from Munich, via Marseille,
to Pisa. The Frankfurt informa
tion was that it had been sighted
on a 12,000 foot plateau.
