S. PARIS, Nov. 23—®—The Soviet Union filed a formal complaint with the United Nations today, charging that the United States is financing armed groups on her territory aimed at the overthrow of Prime Minister Stalin’s government. The Soviet Union last night asked the General Assembly to look into charges that the U.S. mutual secur- ity act was intended to foster sub- versive acts in Communist countries. In an explanatory note today, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei “I wasn't hurt but battery acid spilled on my clothes and ate holes in my slacks,” she said of the crash. “When he left he said ‘don’t have any hopes for 10 days’.” she continued. “I had to do something to keep busy. I kept a,small fire going and cooked oatmeal constantly.” It was terribly wild country but I never saw an animal or heard a sound other than the crack of the fire. Snow fell most of the time and it was awfully cold.” After 14 days she heard a plane, which was from the Tenth Rescue Squadron. She was vague about that. Later she heard another plane “and suddenly I saw a tiny plape right over my head. “It dropped a note and I remem- | ber that it told me to build a big fire so they could find me after they landed on a lake three miles away. “I was trying to make my fire! bigger when I looked up and saw Bob. He led me three miles back to the plane. I don’t remember | being tired of the walk but after I got to the plane I got sick and col- lapsed.” . Rouse had followed the Stony River until it hit the Kuskokwim River. He found a small settlement inhabited by two Eskimos. One of | them operated a radio-equipped | weather station.

The U.S. State Department dismis- sed the protest as “groundless prop- aganda” and sald it came with “singular ill-grace” from a regime which has consistently supported “subversive activity against the U. S. and other nations of the free world.” The latest Russian blast against the west came as the assembly marked time on its peace programs, with some hope—slim, but existing —that Vishinsky in a scheduled ap- pearance before the U. N. Political committee tomorrow would answer the west’s disarmament proposals with a speech spelling real peace.
