Th disarnn' ment ro o ls f th ' · 't r n into a Soviet r ce tion that mi t hav b n expected - only more Arter President Trum n's radio ad ress last night, secretary toda of tate Acheson, in aris,Arepeated the presidential cniUllp1onsh1p or the plan, hich would be in with each nation revealins its amount or armament, tncludi atomic. Then, before the Qeneral Assembly of the United Nations, MoscOlf Delegate Viahtns~ gave the Soviet reply. ( it was a rejection - in the tel'lllS of a bitter d1atr1be. VisH1nsky jeered and fulminated - hurling vituperation, calling names) But that usual blast of scurrilous propaganda was not the wo~st of it."l?ishinBJq cw forward with a Soviet proposal - demanding a disannaaent conference or the great powers. Red China - to be included. He indulged 1n plentiful verbiage about international disarmament, but never one did he mention - inspection. This, of course, was point number one in the estern power proposal - on the ground that ~ o o d f 1th on the subject d J>ISAJUWIKNT - 2 armament must b saferuarded y system of ins ction, to Mke sure that ever nation is on the square. All along, however, the oviets have blocked ny notion of inspection - a totalitarian polic state never being able to endure the light or public infomation, the truth. But Vishinaky also deaanded, as a prelude to a d1aanaament conference - that the U.N. denounce the Atlantic Sec~r1ty Pact and American bases abroad, as violations ot the U.I.Charter. He called for an innediate armistice 1n Korea - with• withdrawal to the Thirty-eighth Parallel. That atartltd the Western delegates - because, in the truce talka, the Chinese and Kore-an Reds have been conceding better tel'll8 than that. But Vishinsky reverted back to the old Thirty-etabtb - Parallel demand - and, in Paris, there was the immediate supposition that this might end all hope of the armistice negotiations in Korea. The Soviet proposals were immediately rejected by Western spokesman. Called - ludicrous.

The Reds o bserv d th e anniversary by sending over their biggest fleet of M.I.O's thus far, a hundred and eilhtJ or more - which were engaged by seventy u. H. planes. American tighter pilots celebrated the occasion by shooting down anoU.• N . I.a .• the one hundred and thirty-sixth - since the battles or jet began a year ago. • On the ground, the action featured the first appearance or enemy tanks 1n a long time, and battles or annor were fought. At one point, there was a violent exchange or shots for fifteen minutes between the steel monsters - ending when the Red armor withdrew. Splf-propelled guns are being brought up by the communists. Today one American tank commander said: "The game is changing. The Chinese R e ds are g etting mechanized." All of which might presage a heavy Red offensive - ~lthough there wer only local att a cks today,which were beaten back. ews from JOndon pi tur mov by h new Churchill .

It was clear, from the mom nt of the Consenat1Ye election •tctory, that on or the big problems tor ctuireb111 would be - how to get along wt th Labor. Meaning mostly - the - T-U-C. So a meeting was held today, with a topic as urgent as one could imagine. Last night we heard how th Chancellor or the &xchequer presented to the House of Coanons the first econ0111c report made by then w government - and it was no thing or gaiety and good cheer.

Several •NS! fl 1a1■• are suggested - including lar1er ■ore A 1ncent1YeMlt eveir level. Qrant increased rewards tor 11•••• production - all the way from the workers up to management. Aleo - abandon practices that keep down the output or lrltlall ractor1es. Both L,~bor and Management go in tor these pract1cea, restricting production - for tear of over-production. Under these headings fall a whole lot of things, which American industrial experts consider old-fashioned, and criticise - as the traditional British way. So - moderniz~, Americanize. Increase production, step up exports - so that Britain may increase revenue, and pay her way. This, w hear, was the topic, as · . ins ton Churchill's Conservative Gov rnment today began deal ng 1th Labor, the ■ITAlN - 3 Socialist uni o n .. . T morrow, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has called a similar meeting with lea d ers of Managem e nt - to present the same proposals to them.

Today's bi denial was iven - more in sorrow than in anger. r sident Truman saying, "No" - to the story that he offered to back O neral J1senhower for the Democratic nomination in Nineteen Fifty-two. Truman tor Eisenhower - on the Democratic ticket,) This appears 1n the venerable New York Times, in an article written by the sedate Arthur Krock - one or the most tactual and trustworthy of ash1ngton correspondents. Krock says he has the intor11atton t'1'om what he calls - "a person thoroughly reliable and tnformed." We are told it all happened while oeneral isenhower was in Washington recently, conferring with President TrWl&D on matters conceming oeneral Ike's 111f West European army. Both the G neral and the resident denied there was any pol1t1eal discussion between them, but the story passed along by rthur KDock is that they had a private luncheon together, last Monday - during which Truman offered to support •1senhower . s the pr sidential candidate on the Democratic EISENHOW m - 2 ticket next er. But ~1senhow r pointed out that he wos in disagreement with domestic policies of the Administration. He was opposed, for example, to amendments of the Taft-HartleJ Law, which were backed by the lbite House. In the story. the matter ts left standing at that - Eisenhower not accepti~, but not reJect1ng either. This produced a headline that sent the reporters burry1ng witQ questions to vari~us authoritative quarters. Moat authoritative of all - the President himself. TodaJ be lett tor a vacation at K~y west, and the newsmen caught hili at the airport. The , re was a brief chat, which produced the Truman denial - more in sorrow than tn anger. "There's not a word of truth tn it," said the President. An he added that, if the story had been written by some other columnist, he wouldn't have thou ht anything about it. "But," he remarked 0 dly, "I never would have thought it of Krock." The tone of the presid nti 1 voice must have been something 11k that of an ~ ctor pla 1n r "Jultu Cesar" 1n Shakespeare, nd uttering th moumful yllables1 'Et tu Brute!"
