Strong Action On Berlin Sought By
Western Powers
JOINT RESOLUTION
FOR
SECURITY COUNCIL
Paris, Oct. 12.-The U. S., Britain and France were reported to be drafting a joint resolution today calling for firm Security Council action to end Russia's Berlin blockade.
Authoritative informants close to the Western UN delegations said the three powers are tiring of the so far fruitless efforts by the Little Six Security Council members to mediate an East West Berlin settlement. Those efforts began last Wednesday after the U.S., Britain and France submitted their in- dictments of Russian behaviour in Berlin.
The informants stressed the Western Powers would still like to see one or all of the so-called Little Six-Argentina, Canada, China, Colombia, Syria and Belgium-introduce a resolution calling for an end to a situation which they consider a danger to peace.

UN DISARMAMENT DISCUSSION
Soviet Offer To Strike Bargain
Paris. Oct. 12.-Soviet Russia refused today to give any information to the world about its armed forces until the United States "lays its cards on the table" and discloses the size of its atomic bomb stockpile.
11
In one of the most bitter tirades ever heard in the United Nations Assembly, M Andrei Vyshinsky of the Russian delegation told the UN Political Committee that the West had plotted against the Russians and back in 1939 made efforts to get Hitler to attack the Soviet Union. He offered to prove the charge "if you force me to lay all my cards on the table."
PITCHED BATTLE
·
Italian Chamber
In Uproar,
Rome, st, 12-The session of the Italian Chamber of De- puties was suspended this after- noon when Communist and Neo- Fascist deputies of the Italian Social Movement fought a pitched battle on the floor of the Chamber.
The deputies, kicking, punch- ing and yelling, struggled in the nisles of the Chamber as the Speaker - Signor Giovanni Gronchi, Christian Do- mocrat rang the electric alarm bells to clear the Hall.
The Aght began when the Com- munist leader, Signor Palmiro Togliatti speaking in a debate, on the Ministry of the Interior, referred to the north Itallon province of Emilia, known as the triangle of death" because of the number of prople killed there after the war.
(Many agricultural workers have attempted to "squat" on farmland in the Emilia provincë, and polico were called to some places carller this year to keep order),
Signor Togliatti declared: "It is a good thing that these traitors to the Italian people were killed." At this remark, the leader of the Ita- Ilan Social Movement, Signor Al- rairante, shouted at the Communists; "Assassins."
BLACK EYES
A number of Communists. imme- diately hurled themselves at Socini Movement deputies, while other Communists formed 1 bodyguard about Signor Togliatti.
Amid the clamour of the alarm balls and shouts of the fighting deputies, ushers eventually managed to restore order and the Chamber was cleared.
No one was scrlously hurt, but a, number of deputies acquired black eyes and bloody noses.
All moveable Inkwells in the Chambers had been replaced with new ones sunk into tho desks after the last scuffle there.
The session was resumed after half an hour. The Speaker warned Signor Almirante that the use of such words as "assassins" could bring expulsion from the Chamber. Signor Almirante replied that he was not referring to Italian parti- "those persons it sans, but only to and responsible for the killings after the
end of the war."
