World News Capsules—
Russians Ridicule U.S. Suggestion
For World Munitions Census
Complied by Tom Jequoc
(From the '.Vires of Associated Freds and United Freds)
I lie l nited States lias presented its proposal for a world
eensus of arms to the U.N. general assembly in Paris, only to
meet ridicule by Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky.
Siuet.iry of State Dean Acheson presented the plan for dis
arming and an accounting of atomic and other weapons.
Vishinsky immediately described the idea as ridiculous and
countered by calling for a world conference by next June to
consider the whole disarmament question. The Russian pro
posals got an equally cool reception in western circles.
Both plans call for disarmament. The United States, Britain
and France, want a strict limit on armed strength—both man
power and equipment. And they propose inspections to sec
that military restrictions are obeyed.
Both plans mention the desirability of an armistice in Korea. But
the Russians demand in addition the withdrawal of all foreign troops
from Korea within three months. The Russians also want Allied troops
to withdraw to the 38th parallel a condition which a French spokes
man says Russia could not hope to impose.

Still hopeful but far from optimistic . . .
. . . arc thf armistice prospects from Panmunjom. Negotiators are
still In disagreement on the issue of a cease-fire line.
Allied officers have flatly rejected a Communist proposal for a buffer
zone on the grounds it would relieve the Red from any pressure to
reach an agreement on other truce terms. The spokesman for the
C.N. negotiators, Brig. Gen. William Nuckols, said that “the proposal
is no longer under study for hidden meanings or gimmicks. We have
an understanding on what it means and we reject it."
Red troops have staged attacks . . .
...Oil the western and central fronts. All were thrown back. An
Allied officer reported an Increase in Red tank and infantry move
ments in the west.
A hill north of Yonchon in the west changed hands for the eighth
time In two weeks. Allied troops trapped a Red battalion there and then
withdrew from the hill in the early hours of the morning. The Reds
occupied the crest and then Allied guns opened up on it. Several
hours later, the Allies reoccupied the hill without opposition.
There were three air fights between Migs and Sabre jets and the air
force claimed one Red Mig was shot down and two damaged.
There's optimism in the state department . . .
.. . over chances of getting Iran to settle her oil dispute with Britain
- but British embassy officials are not as hopeful.
Iranian Premier Mossadegh has been conferring with American
officials for two weeks, and word has it that the Iranians are willing
to sell 70 per c nt of its nationalized oil production to the West at
a discount.
The Iranian premier is still determined to oust the Anglo-Iranian
Oil Co., however.
Production restrictions over autos . . .
.. . and household Items will go into effect on Feb. 1 in order to re
s -rve machine tools for military and defense-supporting production, the
government announced Thursday.
The order means there will be no major changes in new cars, re
frigerators and washing machines after February. However, 1952 car
models will not be affected.
The president is at the winter White House . . .
... ut Key West, Fla. and he plans to stay there for the next four
or five weeks.
rt Will be a “working vacation" for the president. He will spend much
of his time working on three messages he will send Congress in
January the budget, economic and "state of the union" messages.
