cdnesday. Cciober 20. 1948
The UnLed Nations, after months
of easi-west deba e, voted today to
urn ihe atomic energy dispute
over to the Big Five powers and
Canada for another try for agree
ment on basic principles.
Since Russia is one of the Big
Five and has steadfastly opposed
* rcl .deus of the United Sta es—
the only nation known to have the
bomb—there was little hope for
an accord there. The vote, taken
in the political committee, was 41
o 6. With Russia and her satel
i .tes opposing.
A Soviet plan to outlaw the
atomic bomb and set up at the
same time an atomic energy con
trol agency was defeated 39 to 6.
Basically, the Russians refuse to
' allow any international agency to
check in the Soviet Union, now or
later, on whether Russia is pro
ducing atomic weapons.
Something like civil war broke
out in Southern Korea, where a
new government has been spon
sored by the United States in for
mer Japanese territory. Rebellious
troops, which the home minister
said were inspired by communists,
seized two towns and killed or
captured 100 policemen. Martial
law was declared. The rebel force
may number 4,000 men and is
growing.
The Moscow radio asserted Sov
iet troops are leaving northern
Korea which the communists now
dominate. The braodcast said a
North Korean spokesman “thank
ed the Soviet army and its leader
Stalin, who defeated the Japanese
imperialists and brought Korea
freedom and independence.”
Russia entered the Pacific war
when Japan already was deefated
j and virtually on her knees after
j two of her cities had been ripped
by atom bombs delivered by U. S.
planes.
The Russians, who have trained
and armed 200.000 men in north
ern Korea, have insisted "that the
U. S. abandon South Korea. The
U. S. has said “No.”
The United Nations said that,
despite the security council order
for peace in the Negev Desert of
Southern Palestine, fighting con
tinues. Heavy bombardments were
reported on both sides.
U. N. observers said Israeli
planes raided the Palestine caiptal
of Gaza five times during the
night and dropped at least 67
bombs. Three Jewish Corvettes
were declared to have shelled
Majdal during the night and de
stroyed a hospital. The cease fire
order reached Tel Aviv, which re
ported fighting was dwlindling.
The Berlin blockade issue goes
back before the security council
Friday. The U. S., Britain and
France which accused Russia of
endangering peace looked hopeful
ly at the six neutral powers for a
resolution asking an end of the
blockade. A Russian veto can be
expected, but the record will be
made. The Russians are tightening
the blockade and ignoring the is
sue in the U. N. Berlin newspapers
said the city’s communists are
bringing in 3,000 special police to
strengthen them and help seize
any foodstuff coming into the city (
except by the expensive air lift.
France’s communists kept the
coal fields paralyzed. They refus
ed even to permit maintenance
crews to safeguard the mines,
four of which were reported al
leady ruined by flooding. Rail
strikers snarled traffic along the
Riviera. A Paris subway strike
was predicted.
One estimate had French pro
duction cut by a fifth. The com
munist s rikers were aiming main
ly, it seemed, at the European Re
covery Plan, which is costing the
United States more than five bil
lion dollars this year alone.
Communists in China had gov
•. nment troops reeling. They ap
parently had captured the Man
churian capital of Changchun and
threatened Taiyuan and Kweisui,
capitals of Shansi and Suiyuan.
Greek troops took another peak
from communists in that country
nd asserted they killed 245 rebels
in three days. A U. S. carrier and
