Troop Data Demand Called Tie-in With Campaign to Get Western Allies Out of Europe

By NAT A BARROWS Times Special Writer

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 22.—Boil it down to original essentials and this roar and fury about allied troops statistics proves little more than one fact: Soviets actually don’t care much whether the AngloAmericans agree to tell them about military strength on China or Palestine or Venezia Giulia or anywhere else.

Garland Watson, 18-year-old soldier from" Trenton, Ga., was removed from a train at Union station here last night in a serious condition with four knife wounds in his

Emergency Train Stop Hurts 40 CHICAGO, Nov. 22 (U. P)—A veteran whose objections to walk- ) ing prompted him to push an emergency stop button Iting in the collision of two tr and minor injuries to 40 persons, yesterday blamed battle wounds for his action.

. The veteran, Edward Pokropinswi, 22, boarded an express in-

stead of a local Illinois Central suburban train Wednesday afternoon, He pushed the emergency {

button when he noticed the train pass his station. The train immediately halted and was struck from the rear by a South Shore suburban express. Mr. Pokropinski told police his toes had been shot off in Italy. He sald he became angry when he realized he was on the wrong train and would have to walk back several blocks to his station. Thirty-seven of the passengers were treated at hospitals and released. The other three were given first aid.

He was taken to Ft. Harrison hospital in an ambulance. ’ ‘The stabbing occured on a training en route from Chicago At Lebanon, another soldier, Lindsay Reed, 23, of Madisonville, Tenn., was tuken off the train by police and held for military authorities at Ft. Harrison.

military attaches here and there could uncover such fig-

ures merely by intelligent reading of the newspapers, as Herschel Johnson, the ‘American delegate, said in the security council long: ago.

Russia as a crusader against what] they - call imperialism. !

tics during international meetings call for aggressive action, punching one surprise move at the other big powers, and hurrying along to another surprise plan while the other, in righteous indignation, are still concentrated on the first move. Russ Seek Confusion Thus, in their inspired campaign to make the other allies tell about their military units in non-enemy territory the Russians are aiming, at, not so much as a real census. They are aiming at an issue with which to confound and confuse Anglo-American leadership within the United Nations. Some think they see concession) and retreat in Mr. Molotov's will-| ingness to broaden the scope of the inquiry to make it world-wide. That, of course, is one of the oldest tricks in diplomacy.

than was originally proposed. | It is reasonable to assume that the Russian demand for military | figures—now one of the dominat-| ing issues before the United Nations | general assembly—ties in with a long-range Soviet campaign to get western allied troops out of Europe. Not Pleasing to Kremlin

Russia doesn’t find it pleasing to Kremlin policy to have other oig-power soldiers sitting close to the Communistic frontiers. But regardless of the more subtle motivations behind this setting controversy, it is conceivable that the Anglo - Americans themselves may salvage some helpful points of benefit to the United Nations, Mr. Molotov, as usual, has led the way. He suggested Wednesday that

a complete picture of armed forces

of individual states would be of

value to the security council in]

studying the problem of a world police force under the United Nations. Senator Tom Connally, in pledging U. 8. support for a military census on the widest terms, came

out hard and heavy against the!

Molotov implication that American troops aboard are a threat to peace and security or justify uneasiness in any part of the world. Asks No Territory “The United States,” he thundered at yesterday's historic session, “is asking for no territory; no changes in borders, no reparations. And we are not trying to squeeze ‘the lifeblood out of victims of war to enrich ourselves.” Some delegates, looking only at the surface, saw the embattled old Texan overplaying the grand orator's -role, capitol-hill style. But others appreciated that all this was mostly lost upon Mr. Molotov, The Russian, sitting two seats away, was engrossed in the running translation being whispered into his ear by his tireless shadow, Vladimir Pavlov. Mr. Molotov heard Mr. Connally only as a roar of unintelligible sound; it was Mr. Paviov's Russian on which he was concentrating. Campaign Started Suddenly Russia’s drive to embarass the Anglo - Americans and build a homefront campaign against western “imperialism” started suddenly. It started without the slightest advance notice during an August session of the security council. As the council was about to adjourn, Mr. Gromyko abruptly asked for the floor. His colleagues, stunned by the implications, heard him demand: THAT the security council should study the question of the presence of hllled troops . . . on the territories of members of the United Nations and of other states, with the exception of former enemy territories. THAT this Information (which so clearly excluded a census of Soviet troops anywhere) should refer” to placements as of Aug. 1, 1046. Britain, worried about having to disclose its military strength in, for instance, Palestine, took a poor view of the demand. The U. 8, while admitting it had no secrets, joined with the British against the Soviet proposal, It was defeated Sept. 24 by seven to two. France and Egypt abstained. TN

Mr. Gromyko .then moved his|

campaign to the general assembly and that is how it reached the as-

" sembly’s political committee.
