Churchill

(By Jack Imlils) i LONDON, Oct- 29 —(AP)-Win- ston Churchill, singled out by Prime Minister Stalin as a war “Instigator”, questioned whether the Russian leader uad disclosed fully thg extent of Rus- sian military might in occupied Europe. and suggested that the United Nations clear up the mat- ter. ‘Nothing sweeps sway suspic- ions like facts and I consider it my duty to continue to press for facts," Mr. Churchill said in a statement replying to Premier Stalin's new declaration on inter- national affairs. He also called for a full report on "ell military tor- ces that may cause concern" to any of the war-victorious powers. Britain's wartime leader, who had intimated in the House of Commons last week that Russia has 200 divisions under arms in occupied Europe. took note of Premier Stalin's statement Mon- day that the correct figure was Only 60 divisions. "Even 60 divisions on a war footing would, of course. greatly exceed the British and American forces in enemy-occupied rerrl- tory." Mr._ Churchill said. The British Government declin- ed comment, but there was no apparent disposition in the for- eign office to accept Mr. Church- ill's figures in preferencg to those given by Premier Stalin. Some French officials said Pre- mier Stalin's statements urging international control of atomic energy and asserting that there was no increasing. tension tween Russia and the U we" "encouraging". Others, however, said the assertion that Germany must be granted political and eeo- nomic unity conflicted with his statement that democracy was not

Soviet Russia, for the second time in history. called tonight for univ- ersal disarmament, including the twining of ulie atomic bomb. and then pressed vnsuccmsfully for immediate debate of its piropoml. i Rareign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov first laid down a far- recching policy statement for this Moscow government iin an hour- long address to the United Nations Amembly. Then hrcapped it with a smprise demand that the United Nations gm behind his proposal for universal like. ent with- out delay.

When AssemhYy President Paul- Henri Spank of Belgium. proposed adjournment for the nlllit. Ml’- Moiotov leaped up in a sisddenly tense drama and raid: “The Soviet delegation calls on the ethos‘ dd- egiations to express their views on disarmament."

Mr. Speak said that moat c! the delegates had left the hall when Mr. Molotov made his llbpflml, advised Mr. fvfoiotov to make his proposal to the General Steering Committee, and addoumicd the General Assembly at 7:477 P.1d. until 11 AM. tomorrow-
