Reds Expected
To Turn Down
Truman Proposal
WASHINGTON. (UP)—
President Truman put the
issue of disarmament
squarely up to the Kremlin
last night but administra
tion officials said today it
was “mast unlikely” Russia
will rip the Iron Curtain to
allow U. N. inspection of
atomic stockpiles and other
armaments. .
In a major foreign policy speech,
Mr. Truman challenged the Soviets
to accept the global arms control
plan of the United States, Britain
and France as the best way to
“lessen the risk of war.”
State and Defense Department
officials conceded that hopes were
not high that the Russians will
agree to the proposal They pointed
out that Russia never has permitted
foreigners inside its borders for in
spection purposes.
REJECTION EXPECTED
A high official in the Russian
embassy indicated last night that
the Kremlin would turn down the
plan. He said it did not include
anything new, and merely repeated
the Soviet-rejected plan which elder
statesman Bernard M. Baruch put
before the United Nations.
Baruch's plan Included interna
tional. Inspection of armaments.’ It
was this point that Russia opposed.
The embassy official said Mr.
Truman's speech was nothing but
words, and that Russia wants
action to end the arms race.
Inspection and a census of arma
ments and armed forces are the
heart of the disarmament plan.
“Any nation which is not willing
to agree to this step, and to carry
it out, is not really Interested in
disarmament," Mr. Truman de
clared.
“I urge the Kremlin to accept
this proposal. I urge them to make
it known to the people of the Soviet
Union.” ,
But he made it clear that tl|e
West would not. accept promises
of action, or slow down its mobilisa
tion rather than propaganda its
to wor with the free world on a
"foolproof" disarmament system.

Truman Denies He Offered
Ike Democratic Nomination

day there is “not a word of
truth” in a Nets York Times

hower for the Democratic

would have thought it of Arthur
Krock.”
DISAGREE ON ISSUES
Krock, who heads the Times’
Washington bureau, had’ reported
that Mr. Truman made the offer to
back Eisenhower earlier this week,
“presumably” at their private
luncheon on Monday.
Eisenhower did not accept, Krock
said, because he did not agree
with the administration on certain
domestic policies among them
proposed amendments to the Taft-
Hartley labor law and other pro
grams.
HAD EXPECTED DENIALS
Krock said he received his in
formation from a source he con
sidered so thoroughly “reliable and
informed" that he decided to send
the dispatch to his newspaper even
though he expected “categorical
and angry denials.”
He noted that the offer was
similar to an invitation the Presir

Estimate Ups

WASHINGTON. (UP)—
The Agriculture Department
today estimated the size of
this year’s cotton crop at 15,-
771,000 bales, seven per cent
below the Oct. 1 forecast of
16,931,000 bales.
Losses during the month, the de
partment said, occurred chiefly in
areas where the crop was later
than usual and where there was
severe draught during August and
September. Insect damage, it said,
in many cases was heavier than
expected.
The price of cotton jumped two
cents a pound on the Dunn market
this morning following receipt of
the new government estimate.
Both General Utility and John
son Cotton Company reported at
noon that they were paying 41.50
for middling, and 40.50 for strict
low middling.
Under rules of the cotton ex
change, the price can advance only
two cents per day.. Cotton men
were speculating on another ad
vance tomorrow.
Following are the bale predic
tions for leading cotton states. No

ber estimate second, and 1950 pro

Dean Acheson challenged Russia
before the United Nations today Jta
prove it really wants peace by
bringing an immediate end to the

outlining a global disarmament
program sponsored jointly by tha
United States, Britain and France.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky was to give his reply and
the Russia version of a world
“peace” program as next speaker
in the General Assembly debate.
The answer was expected to bo
"no.”
BLAMES RUSSIA FOR
TENSION
In his opening address to tha
U. N. session, Acheson accused Rus
sia of responsibility for the present
world tension and resulting arm 3
race.
“So long as some nations talk of
peace while their actions make for
war,” Acheson said, “the free peo
ple of the world will continue with
determination and steadiness to
build the full programs of defen
sive strength which their security
requires.".
WANTS WORLD SECURITY
He called for a collective world
security system to include reginoal
arrangements like the Atlantic Pact
and demanded Russia prove by ac
tion drive untjl the Soviets agree
claims of peaceful intentions.
The secretary of state offered
Russia an indirect opening for the
start of Big Four talks.
Expressing hope that a Korean
truce could be reached before the
■ U. N. General Assembly adjourns
j in February, Acheson said:
I “A settlement such as this, if
reached in good faith, could open
: theWpoor to broader consultations
on other aspects of the Far Eastei-n
! situation."
Acheson specifically indicted
i Russia for denying basic human
rights in a large area of the world.
He brought up the case of Ameri-
I can newsman William Oatls ,im
• prisoned bv Czechoslovakia on es
i pionage charges.
Oatis was “thrown into prison
without a fair trial and on the

“This man is much more than
an individual victim of tyranny. He
is a reminder to the world of hoy

throttled by totalitarian regimes.”
Acheson condemned mass forced
