Work in Progress

In its seventh week of Paris sessions, U.N. held some 50 meetings, aimed to finish by Dec. 8. Highlights of the week:

P: The General Assembly decided, 40 to 6, that the U.S. atomic control plan (Baruch plan) was the one the world needed. It officially hoped (also 40 to 6) that the Big Five and Canada would find in it a basis for agreement. Said Russia's Andrei Vishinsky: "We can immediately give a reply--there is no such basis."

P: The Security Council bade the Israelis and Egyptians withdraw all their troops in the Palestine Negeb to the positions occupied on Oct. 14, put a subcommittee to work studying what could be done about it if they refused.

P: Andrei Vishinsky got called down by Committee Chairman Paul-Henri Spaak, of Belgium, for "insulting other delegates." Replied the Russian: "Unless I am allowed to continue without interruption I won't say another word." He was not interrupted.
