CHARTER, SAYS TRUMAN By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, May 24 — (# — President Truman has assailed Russia’s boycott of the United Na- tions over the Chinese Communist issue as a “willful flouting” of the U.N. charter. He told Congress the world or- ganization is sensibly carrying on “business as usual.” The chief executive attacked the Russian refusal to attend U.N. ses- sions with Chinese Nationalist dele- gates, in a report to Congress in which he also said that the year 1949 produced a tightening of the East-West conflict. After reviewing numerous specific issues on which he said the Soviets blocked constructive action in the UN. last year, Mr. Truman de- clared: “The year ended with a deepening of the tension which has marked international relations throughout the postwar period.” He said this was true for many reasons—which still hold good in the middle of 1950. Among them he listed failure to agree on an atomic control plan, failure to progress to- ward ending the armaments race, and the tendency of the Soviets, while blocking German and Japa- nese peace settlements, to isolate themselves increasingly from the rest of the world. In this connection the President noted for the first time in a United Nations report that Russia now has “possession of the atomic weapon.” He gave the world the first ofticial Western report last September 23 when he announced “an atomic ex- plosion” had occurred in the Soviet Union. ‘The U.N. report was prepared by the State Department and Mr. Tru- man submitted it to Congress with a letter setting forth his personal views.
