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.
