Andrei Vyshinsky, made a strong attack on Britain and the United States whom he accused of "departing from the principles on which the United Nations was founded”, when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly here tonight.

He categorically rejected the Marshall proposal to form an interim Peace and Security Committee.
