Oct. 4 up Russia upset the carefully Laid plans of the Western Powers in in debate on atomic Energy control by springing a Surprise offer to give up its demand for imme Diate scrapping of America s atomic bombs. Soviet Delegate Andrei Vishinsky proposed before the in political committee that the nations agree separately on. Bomb scrapping and inter National control plans and put the two agreements into effect simultaneously. For two years Russia has demanded that the United states and other Western Powers junk their bombs and bomb plants before Russia would consider any International control program. Vishinsky s proposal appeared Likely to complicate the a cited states Campaign for overwhelming approval of its atomic Energy policy and International denunciation of Russia s fight against it. Spokesmen for the West quickly denounced the proposal As a Mere propaganda trick. It s another move of the kind we have come to know . Delegate Warren. Austin said. The russian move did re present however the first big change that either Side has offered to make in its position on the atom bomb in two fruitless years of negotiations in the in atomic Energy commission. Later in the Day Austin said the soviet proposal offered no Assurance that Russia would accept a control plan that included International inspection of atomic production facilities. Vishinsky proposed a treaty binding the nations to effective International control but he did not explain whether Russia had abandoned its opposition to foreign interference in its atomic Energy program Austin said it is the View of this delegation that the re solution fails to carry any Assurance that the soviet Union is prepared to accept the control plan of the United nations atomic Energy commission. This plan is the result of 31 months of continuous Effort by technicians and statesmen and. Embodies the Only effective system which would insure harnessing of atomic Energy in the service of Man  in diplomats fait that the Vishinsky Man Euver would strengthen Russia s hand in its fight a losing fight so far to counterattack the majority backed american control plan and avoid an end to in atomic Energy negotiations. There Are three Basic differences Between the Amer ican led majority and Russia in spite of the new soviet of Fer 1russia wants the atomic Energy commission to continue indefinitely its search for atomic agreement. The West Ern Powers had asked the general Assembly to suspend the talks until Russia s Posi Tion changes and indict Russia during this session for Block ing atomic agreement. 2russia Means one thing and the West Means something vastly different by effective International  this difference in itself would a enough to Block completion of either of the two treaties pro posed by Vishinsky. 3russia apparently a ants All atomic bombs destroyed on the same Day the control treaty goes into effect. But the West argues that effective control would take months maybe years to develop before there could be Assurance that it would work. The new soviet proposal would entail destruct Ion of bombs before control Rould be effectively Unden yay american officials said
