Until Earlv November UUlKlldllUJ JUIII French Strike Russia's Vishinsky Trys Diversion Alter Blistering Attack by Austin By DEWITT MecKENZII AP Foreign Affairs Analyst A most remarkable spirit of Russian "peace and good-will" descended for a time on the de liberations of the United Nations meeting in Paris Tuesday when Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vishinsky abandoned his cus tomary oratorical invective and declared Communists "are yearn ing for cooperation." That was an amazing back-flop which naturally gave rise to spec ulation as to Its significance. What could have caused such an abrupt change? Of course the non-Communist countries on the social committee had appeased Russia the previous day by the with' drawal of an amendment to the declaration on human rights say' Inft that all human beings are "created in the Image and like eness of God." Pavlov Objects Russia's Alexel Pavlov had ob jected to such language. He said German Plant Removal Halted LONDON IIP) The United Slates apparently got British and French approval Wednesday for Its plan to suspend removal of important German industrial plants, diplomats said. The informants said both coun tries have agreed to halt the dis mantling process pending a new review of the part Germany can play in European economic re covery. The plants were marked for reparations. Revise List France announced foreign min ister Robert Schuman had recog nized "that in certain cases" the list of plants to be torn down "ought to be revised to take into account the meager advantage, or even the lnadvisability, of trans ferring certain machines." British sources said foreign sec retary Ernest Bevin had agreed reluctantly to cut down the num ber of factories to be dismantled, with the final action to be de pendent upon a new assessment of the situation in Germany. There was no official confirmation. The French announcement came less than 24 hours after Paul Hoffman, U. S. administrator for the European recovery program, talked with Schuman about Ger man industry. France previously had been the chief objector to any move to abandon plans to cut Germany's industrial potential. In the Soviet Union the postulate that man Is created in God's image Is "much disputed" and of ten regarded as "a certain sign of social backwardness." He spoke with kindly tolerance of western Ignorance, and the reference to God was eliminated. However, it could hardly have been this striking appeasement which influenced vitriolic Vishin sky. A British spokesman sum med the thing up for reporters rather more prosaically when he said the offensive by the western powers in the Security Council had "kept Vishinsky fairly sub dued." The spokesman was re ferring to the charge laid before the council by the western power that the Soviet blockade of Berlin Is a threat to peace. He explained that the deputy foreign minister had been put on the defensive, and said the western powers feel sure the course they are following will In the end make Russia change her policies in Germany. Austin's Blast Vishinsky's speech came after a broadside from U. S. Delegate Warren R. Austin in the U. N. As sembly poliitcal committee. Aus tin asserted that the Soviet battle cry in the world today is "wreck and destroy." He charged Moscow with duplicity. Vishinsky, instead of trying to tear his opponent limb from limb, as is his usual procedure, adopted an attitude of injured dignity. He complained that the western na tions believe "whatever we do is wrong." He said to accuse the Soviet delegation of provocation would "be ludicrous If it was not so sad." Live Together The speaker capped that by de claring that capitalist and Com munist ideologies could live side by side in the same world "if both sides try to understand the other side. Hence our desire to cooper ate." He didn't explain how this fitted in with the cardinal Com munist tenet that capitalism must be wiped out. All of which strikes me as meaning merely that Russia is under pressure and consequently is staging a tactical diversion. There is no real sign that she has changed her views in the slightest degree She is merely responding io iwo-nsiea metnods, which are the only thing she understands. Until Early. November Subsistence checks for veterans attending the University of Ore gon will not be mailed from Port land until the first week in November, Veterans Administra tion representatives on the cam pus said Wednesday, Apparently some student vet erans had expected to be paid earlier this month for the two weeks in September, the office said, but regional officer in Fort land has explained that checks covering September and October will not be mailed until Novenv ber. Talks Resume In Coast Strike SAN FRANCISCO UP) An "exploratory talk" between na tional CIO leaders and the head of American President Lines was viewed by close observers Wednesday as a possible opening wedge for settlement of the six-weeks-old maritime strike. Allan S. Haywood and R. J. Thomas, CIO troubleshooters, con ferred for an hour Tuesday with AFL President George Klllion, immediately after his return from Washington. Haywood and Thomas termed the conference "produc tive." Aid Settlement The two union men were sent here by CIO President Philip Murray to help settle the crip pling strike of CIO longshore men and four seafaring unions by having the national CIO guar antee a contract if necessary. The employers have demanded a guarantee of contract observ ance before they will negotiate. They also insist that maritime union leaders sign non-Commu nist affidavits. Optimistic over Klllion's talk with the union leaders, the Ex. aminer said Wednesday a "major break" in the strike "appeared Imminent." The strike costs $4,- 000,000 a day by employer est!' mates. Demands Rejected When negotiations broke off CIO longshoremen were demand ing a 15-cents-an-hour wage hike to $1.82. The employers offered 10 cents. The union insisted on maintenance of a union-designated hiring hall dispatcher; the companies wanted an "impartial" dispatcher, but offered to continue with a union dispatcher, subject to a court test of the legality. The WEA called off all offers when the strike began. PARIS (U.R) Thousands of dockhands joined more than 500, 000 other essential French work ers Wednesday in strikes for more pay. Premier Henri Queullle and his full cabinet discussed wage pro posals designed to settle the strikes at a three-and-a-half hour meeting during the morning. But there was no announcement of any decisions. CGT Affiliate. The striking dockhands are af filiated with the Communist-led General Confederation of Labor (CGT). They said they would re main out for 24 hours in protest against wage scales. Dockhands affiliated with the non-Communist workers' force remained at work. First reports from Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Dunkerque said the strike already had halted loading and unloading of cargoes there. Back to Work One bright spot in the national strike situation was back-to-work movement among railway work ers. The railways, particularly in the east, were approaching nor mal operations. Work was resumed at Chalons- Sur-Marne and Eperney on the eastern line. Both stations had been occupied by strikers pre viously. Only Charleville, Mohon and Lumes remained in strikers hands on the eastern line. A new strike broke at the Brest rail ter minal, however. Slow Paralysis Although the situation was calm, government sources ad mitted a creeping industrial par alysis was underway because of the 10-day-old coal strike, scat tered railroad tieups and walkouts in ports, textile mills and steel plants. One million tons of production already have been lost in the mines. Speculation Charged The government, hoping to take the edge off labor's demands for wage increases, cracked down on food wholesalers in city markets1 and slaughter houses on charges! of food speculation. j Thirty major butchers and grocers were arrested. I Minister of Justice Andre Ma rie warned over the national radio Tuesday night the government was "declaring war on all traf fickers" in food. 118 Springfield Cases Investigated in Sept.""
