Lie Drops Cloak , or Neutrality; Levels Blast At Russia

By SPANLEY JOHNSON

UNTPED NATIONS. N. Y.. (AP) .;r1-ygve Lie threw on his cloak of diplomatic neutrality Tuesday and accused Russia. of putting the crvudest sort of pressure on him hecausc he opposed Communist 3ggr9Slnil in Korea.

This pressure. Lie told the 80 Miioii general assembly. was the most serious violation yet of I see- ton of the United Nations charter forbidding interference with him as secretary-general. .

"Cheap Propaganda”

Rumzas Andrei Gromyko was present to hear Lie. Gromykc told reporters after the speech it was A...-. cheap propaganda. 1 do not think it is worth reobins: to".

The attack was unprecedented. since a UN official is not suplJ0-59d to denounce a member state. Lie coupled it with praise for the united states.

He told delegates the U. S. re- rorri since the Second World War is one of support. for the UN ihnrtcr and its organs. Further- more, Lio declared. he welcomed a i'.S cxccutlve order calling for loyalty investigations of Americans ;n the secretariat since it would help clear the U'N's name of sub- ve'l's.VP charges and also help set :.;i orderly personnel procedures.

"We have to use our human material or we are going to be in trouble with the rest of the world in 24 or 30 years.” he told the annual meeting of the Health League of Canada.

He warned that the West's older age group is rapidly increasing while the over-populated East's young population is multiplying. 1-fe criticized the chronological age standard of compulsory retirement.

”Many persons are actually old- or at 50 than their counterparts at lib." he said. "There is a lilgh death rate during the first three years of retirement. partially be- cause of unnatural inactivity.

C0,. said recent experiments show that antibiotics. which are pro- duced by mlciroorganiams in soil and other materials, appear to have two important effects upon soil:

1. In large amounts they (re plant disease killers, just as anti- biotics now control some animal infections.

2. Small amounts stimulate plant growth. A similar effect has been noted in some animals.

In Barnyard Manure

When organic materials. such as barnyard manure. are applied to soils they appear to have a crop stimulating effect far beyond that which comes from the quantity of minerals and chemicals they con- tain. These organic materials usu- ally contain huge numbers of nucrooiganisins and Dr. Prebluda said the extra stimulation appears to come from the antibiotics they produce.

He said these antibiotics haven't been identified but he believes they can be isolated and produced com- mercially in great quantities at low cost through scientific meth- ods.

"When we do this it will be the equivalent of opening millions new acres of land to farmers." Dr. Prebluda said.

"Crops will grow so fast we will be able to get two crops a year in many more parts of the country."

LONDON, tfteutcrin - Appoint- ment of a new top-level Russian ambassador to Pelping is a quick move to consolidate Sino-Soviet friendship.

This important change. by which Vasily Kuznctsov replaces Alex- ander Panyushkin as envo' Communist China, was annrunced Tuesday by the official news agency, Tass.

Kuznetsov is a deputy foreign minister and during the last few months of Joseph stallnls life was one of Russia's policy-makers. As such he may be empowered to make vital policy decisions in his new job with Ruseials most powerful

The relations between Stalin's successor and China's Mao Tee- tung may be touchy, at least at first.

Mac. as leader of China's 500.- 000.000 people. could and did talk to Stalin pretty much on equal terms. He did not attend Stalin's funeral. It may be that. for pres- tige reasons, he did not yet want to present his compliments in per- son to Malenkov.

In stature as an international Communist leader and "prophet of Marxism-Lienlnlsm," Mao ranked second only to Stalin himself. He now may feel that Mslenkov should send an important man to talk to him-in China.

Kuaneteov could fill the bill.
