He proposed that the Unite Nations outlaw the atomic bomb and call upon the big five powers to reduce their armed forces by one third during the course of one year. HKs Marshall Plan Part of the American prepara tlons for war, Vishinsky charged, included strengthening western Europe and rebuilding western Germany. "All this Is accompanied by furious armaments race and de velopment of plans for an attack on the U.S.S.R. and the new demo cracies', and by preparation "I other military measures," Vishin sky said. Vishinsky's charge was the most serious made by one UN member against another in the three vears of United Nations his tory. He Insisted that Russia, In contrast, sought only peace.

"These gentlemen are no longer coming forward with general pro nouncements and slogans calling for war against the U.S.S.R. and the new democracies," Vishinsky said. "Thov. and In particular the above mentioned representatives of the supreme military command of the U.S.A., come forward now with flashy colored plans for util izing American aviation and the atomic bomb for the destruction of such soviet cities as Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa."
