S. officials, nettled toy Russia's attitude toward establishment of a provisiona government for Korea, were reported today to be planning to toss the question to the United Nations. The UN assembly meets in New York later this month. American officials decided to take their case there, it was under stood, after Russia formally re' jected an American proposal for a big four Korean conference to start here today. The state deparatment proposed the parley in a note delivered to the Soviets on Aug. 29. Britain and China the other Pacific powers concerned approved the plan, but the Soviet Union turned it down. Moscow radio said Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov Molo-tov sent a note to the state' department last Thursday describing de-scribing the U. S. proposal as "Inexpedient.'' Mplotov's note, according to radio Moscow, said the Soviet- American commission which has had the provisional government problem under study for almost two years "by no. means has ex hausted all possibilities for work' ing out agreeable recommenda tions." American officials, however. took a contrary view. They be lieved the commission's failure-to agree on any of the basic issues has resulted in a hopeless dead lock. That was the reason the United States nronosed that the problem be returned, to its start ing point the Pacific big four foreign ministers; The state department had no plans to go ahead, with the talks today without the Russians. And there eemed-, little .doubt.-4hat Korea's status would wind up-on the agenda of . the general as sembly v. There was, however, one other course open which U. S. officials have been giving some considers tion. That is to go ahead and set up a provisional government in the U. S.-occupied southern part of Korea, leaving the Russians to do as they please in their north ern zone. The Russian rejection was dis closed coincidentally with the re lease by the war department of a report from . Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur on southern Korea. Mac- Arthur said the south Korea leg islative assembly had made steady progress during May in efforts to bolster democratic processes. MacArthur cited the approval of a child labor law and the prog ress of work on legislation to broaden the electorate and deal with Koreans who collaboiated with the Japanese. MacArthur ' said that during April, 18,889 refugees arrived in the U. S. occupation zone from Soviet-occupied northern. Korea. Union Leader Under Arrest NEW YORK, Sept. 8 0.R) The U.
