U.N. 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.
Blast Cripples
Water Supply
For Jerusalem
TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 12 -(JF)
Saboteurs today blasted the Lat
run pumping station, vital to Je
rusalem's water supply. The gov
ernment of Israel declared the act
constituted a glaring breach of
the United Nations truce, "fraught
with the gravest consequences.
At Haifa a United Nations
spokesman said the blast had been
reported to the U. N. security
council at Lake Success as a truce
violation by the Arabs. He said
the Arab legion was in control of
the Latrun area and must be held
responsible. The spokesman added,
however, that a truckload of Ar
ab "irregulars" had been seen
near the station an hour before
the blast.
(In Rome, Count Fplke Berna
dotte said "we think Arab irregu
lars are responsible for this
crime.")

Truman Re-Assails Congress Red Incpriries,
Disputes Taft s
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12P-
Fresident Truman said today he
couldn't agree with Senator Taft
(R-Ohlo) that prices will level
off soon.
He blamed what he called the
failed to act on his recommenda
tions to the special session.
When told by a reporter at a
news conference that Taft thinks
prices will begin .to level off. Mr.
Truman aaid he- hopes Taft is a
good prophet but that he couldn't
agree wita him. 1
The president said prices have
been going up ever since price
controls were taken off, and that
he had been told before that pri
ces would level off but that they
always seem to level off at high
er brackets.
Larger Farm Crepe
The only bright outlook, he said.
was the recent report that farm
crops will be larger than ever.
This may bring down food prices.
He would not say what he plan
ned to do about the republican
sponsored anti-inflation measure
designed to make it harder for
people to go into debt by restor
ing, controls on Installment buy
ing and boosting reserve require
ments of federal reserve banks.
Expected U Sign
But earlier in the day the White
House had announced he would
act on the bill tomorrow. He is
expected to sien it with a blast at
congress for not giving him lim
ited wage, price, rationing and
otner controls.
Meanwhile nine of the 12 fed
eral reserve banks raised their
"discount rate" from IV to 1
per cent, the effect being to make
it more costly for commercial
banks to borrow funds from the
federal system for re-lending to
the public.
The other three banks are to
follow suit shortly.
