Vishinsky icharged today, the eight-nation U.

N. resolution on Korea constituted "direct against the people-of that country and was designed to east a mantle of legal ity on' American intervention there. iV;" t- In a policy speech before the U. a. assembly's political commit tee the Soviet foreign minister promised to put in a resolution of his own to counter the measure under debate.

He said the eight nation proposal was designed to perpetuate the occupation of all of Korea by foreign forces and add ed: "When will they get out Well, perhaps when the mountains are level with the sea. "Repetition of Big Lie" U. S. Chief Delegate Warren R. Austin said in a statement outside the committee that Vishinsky's accusations were merely "repetitions of the big lie." He predicted Vishinky's charges would have no effect because "rotten wood cannot be carved nor walls of sand be plastered." Vishinsky explained that his proposal would call for halting of American bombings.

This same proposal has been beaten down in the Security Council. He said a companion Soviet proposal calling1 for the disbandment of the present U. N. commission in Korea also would be presented because that commission "acted unobjec-tively" and failed to carry out its mission. The American supported pro posal which Vishinsky attacked calls for United Nations aid and supervision of the pacification, unification and rehabilitation of the whole of Korea.

It also calls for a new U. N. commission with broad powers to help reorganize the political and economic life of the war-torn country. South Korea Blamed In an hour and a half speech, Vishinsky made these claims: 1. South Korea rather than North Korea was responsible for touching off the conflict.

and American authorities encouraged South Koreans in this plan. 2. The Korean conflict is a civil war in which the N. has right to intervene. 3.

U. N. decisions serve to cover up illegal American intervention in Korea, and the United States "applied pressure on countries ec onomically dependent" on America for Marshall plan aid to get back ing in the United Nations.

The expansion was requested by Sawyer on Sept 11, when he called 21 steel company presidents a meeting here with NPA administrator William H. Harrison and other defense officials.

Real Commitment At that time the steel executives said they planned a expansion by the end of 1952. Sawyer asked them to raise their sights and report back to him a bigger program "not suggestions hopes, but actual commitments for the future."

President Enjoying Cruise Aboard Yacht ABOARD YACHT COMMAND ER, Chesapeake Bay, Oct 2 -UP) President Truman poked around the Chesapeake Bay today on his yacht The Williamsburg, apparently enjoying thoroughly his first extended rest since last With a small party of aides, the chief executive left Washington last Saturday on an eight-day cruise down the Potomac river and on quiet Chesapeake Bay waters. Seeing this stung the imagination. It was no mad orgy.

There was no wild machine-gunning. It was a coldly calculated massacre. Each man had been shot individually. Many apparently were clubbed to make sure they were dead. One man had a hatchet sticking from his skull.

The surviving local citizens say the South Korean dead were known anti-Communists, the wealthy, relatives of soldiers, national police and their relatives. Some were shot, according to the residents, because they offended the police in some minor way or because they had earned more money than their fellow citizens. They said the shooting was to make others fearful of cooperating with the South Koreans or Americans against 1 the day the Reds might return. i The story of these atrocities began unfolding five days ago. A few minutes after the victorious U.

S. 24th division recaptured Taejon, excited South Koreans began telling of mass murder. 400 Bodies Found First, the trench containing the GIs was found in the rear of the Hansen Death Listed As Criminal Homicide By City Police Force The death of Sigurd Hansen on September 10 has been listed by Alt, nnlln M. lnnl tismi niAn In its annual repor. to the city council showing activities of the department tor the month, Acting Police Chief James uoodman showed one case of "criminal homicide."

Hansen was found -dead In his garage three weeks ago. He was reported to have died of a crushed chest. City, county and state law enforcement officers have been working on the case with thd district attorney. That the investigation has reached a stalemate is indicated in the fact that officers who have been working on the case are back on regular duty. It is understood that a complete report on evidence submitted to the state crime lab for analysis has not been made.

Pending the report, no further developments are expected. China Hurls Threat Against Imperialists TOKYO, Oct. 2 W) Red China's premier, Chou En-Lai, warned in a weekend radio broadcast that China will not "supinely tolerate seeing her neighbors being savagely invaded by imperialists." He issued an 11,000 word statement in Peiping to commemorate the first anniversary of the founding of the Communist regime in China. In Korea P. H.

Shinicky, chairman of the national assembly, described Chou's warning as "only a gesture only barking." (In Taipei, Formosa, Gen. Chang Yi-Ting, spokesman for the Chinese nationalist defense ministry, asserted "Chou cannot decide to do anything'. It will all be decided for him Chou accused the United States of aggression in the Far East and said U. S. planes had flown over Manchuria.
