Fear Cold War Intensily Will Follow Charge Stalin Statement Is Disturbing To Western Delegates Paris. Oc*. 29 tUl’t — Western delegates to the United Nations expressed fear today that premier Josef Stalin’s den'tnrtntion of the west was a signal for Soviet Intesifica lon of the east-west cold war It was feared that Soviet reprei sentatlves would not only Increase their denunciations of the west on the Berlin crisis In the I’ni ed Nations but would Stet* up the tempo lof the cold war throughout the world. Stalin's statement frankly disj turbed many delegates and they I abandoned what little hope they | had for an early settlement of the I Berlin crisis | Ills remarks were seen as an ole vlous categorical rejection of the ' west’s offer earlier tills week to settle the Berlin crisis outside the ‘t’nited "Nations on the same basis as Ibe neutral resolution vetoed Monday by Russia Western delegates likewise abandon d hope that the genera! assembly might ease the tensions resulting from the deep schisms between east and west, which the more op imistlc had considered possible. | No UN delegate had any idea of Stalin’s motives In making his sta ement. but all assumed that the Soviet premier had not changed his usual calm tone for nothing. Every hing Stal concerning , the "aggressive" pedicles < f the west and the alleged plans of the west's leaders to “unleash a ne* war' has been said time and time again Soviet foreign*inlnister V M Mol i otov has been saying the same' thing wi h increasing frequency an 1t intensity at international confer-1 ences for three years Soviet publi-1 cations and raillo Moscow have' been blaring similar accusations hour after hour for months. The most important thing, acc >rd ing to the views of western dele j gates. Is that now for the first 1 time Stalin himself hat said them.. Dr. Philip Jessup, who has been I I handling the Berlin case tor the United States, formally denied In a I press conference the charge made j !by Stalin that America and Brit aln repudiated any "agreed solu | tion" on the Berlin crisis.
