United Nations: Eden Presents West's Re-armament Plan. At the U.N. general assembly, Britain's new foreign secretary Anthony Eden presents the west's re-armament program and tells the Russians to stop laughing and read Truman's disarmament plan, in effort to preserve the shaky peace of the world. VS UN meeting, shot of Soviet delegation (?). Anthony Eden speaks from podium: "We intend to persevere with our disarmament proposals. We do not insist upon them... but we invite this assembly to examine them with sincerity and good will. We ask our critics to study them. We suspect that they've been so busy laughing at them that they haven't really had time to read them."
