MOSCOW, April 14 (U.PJ Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov tonight torpedoed any hope that the Big Four can reach any agreement agree-ment on a special disarmament pact for Germany by demanding that any such treaty guarantee the Soviets voice in a 'special regime for the Ruhr. Molotov did not reject specifically speci-fically the principle of such a treaty but proposed such drastic amendments including practically practical-ly every disagreed issue on Germany Ger-many as would make the treaty unrecognizable and totally unacceptable unac-ceptable to the United States, Britain or France. The U. S. draft for such a treaty to keep Germany disarmed for 25 or 40 years was designed, when submitted a year ago, as a four-power four-power special military alliance which, through special control and inspection commissions and allocation of armed forces to act on violation, would prevent German Ger-man rearmament.

Russia Attacks U. S. Amendment LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 14 (U.R) Russia attacked the' so-called so-called Vandenberg amendment to the $400,000,000 Greek-Turkish aid program today, charging that it disDlaved "contempt" for the United Nations. The- amendment, which gives the UN a limited right to "veto' the program, was scored by Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko as a belated gesture which "merely underscores the unilateral character" of the Tru man program. Gromyko said the provisions as offered by Chairman Arthur M. Vandenberg, Mich., of the senate foreign relations committee, was meaningless until its adoption by congress. "At any rate," Gromyko said, "this amendment underscores the unilateral character of the steps which the United States has taken. "The action prejudices the action of the United Nations, and one country seems' to assess the right to state how the UN can and must take action."

Parnell Thomas of the house un-American un-American activities committee urged that Henry A. Wallace be prosecuted under the Logan act for making speeches abroad against Mr. Truman's foreign policy.
