Russian Peace Proposal Outlined At UN Meeting
Lake Success Oct 23 AP Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky to outline a new peace plan at the United Nations political conference. It reportedly repeats earlier Soviet ideas for a Big Five pact with arms cuts and adds a clause to label the first country to drop an atomic bomb a war criminal. US sources say the move aims to blacklist nuclear superiority while preserving war material legality. They recall last year's UN vote against deep Soviet military cuts and warn the plan may fail again. The development comes ahead of President Truman's General Assembly address on world peace and UN Day, with emphasis on actions over rhetoric.
