Rejects Soviet Plan for Armament Cut By Larry Haock LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 12-;P) A United Nations commission de cided today Russia's scheme for slashing the world's armanents cannot be put into effect under j present international tension. The vote in the 11-nation com mission on conventional arma ments meant shelving Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov's ambi tious plans for reducing the arms of all nations. The ballot , was 9 to 2 with Russia and the Soviet Ukraine dissenting. "A xvstCTn of riilation and re duction of armaments and armed i forces can only be put into effect in an atmosphere of international confidence and security," the com mi'sion concluded. As examples of essential condi tions, the U-N. body listed estab lishment of a world police force, agreement in international control of atomic energy and conclusion of the German and Japanese peace treaties. The commission was careful not to junk the program outright and agreed that planning should go ahead in preparation for the day when international confidence is restored. .However,, no further deliberations are expected before 1949. , Diplomatic observers viewed the decision as assuring that there would be no arms slashes until Russia and the Western powers settle their major differences. The East-West conflict Is currently blocking the police force, atomic control and the peace treaties.
