Andrei Y. Vishinsky rejected the western Big Three disarmament plan today and submitted a dozen amendments intended to substitute Moscow's brand of arms limitation, with an immediate ban on the atomic bomb. The Soviet foreign minister lambasted the formula sponsored by the United States, Britain and France in a speech before the 60-member United Nations political committee. He complained the western plan did not go far enough toward reducing the dangers of war. He said it "cannot, in the present form, serve its announced purpose." Then he presented his amendments, by which the plan would be rewritten almost completely to conform to Soviet ideas.

Ambassador Philip C. Jes-sup, U. S. delegate who replaced Secretary of State Dean Acheson in the disarmament debate, expressed disappointment that Vishinsky still used invective instead of practical words. Jessup and spokesmen for Britain, and France indicated they will go ahead with work on the plan in the hope some progress toward a genuine system of disarmament is still possible.

"The president owes the parents of our servicemen a clear and unmistakable statement of the facts at the earliest moment," she said. By JACK FISKR Times Sports F.ditor Louisiana State's heretofore punchless Bengals treated Shreveport to an unexpected touchdown festival yesterday afternoon as they poured across the goal line seven times to rout an inept Villanova eleven, 45-7, in the second installment of their intersectional football scries. The Tigers, who had managed but fiO points in their nine earlier games, broke out with their finest rushing exhibition of the year to total 2:1 yards along the ground.

Their passers chimed bomber started shooting first and refused to land at a Siberian airport. The American plane, part of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's LTnited Nations command, was a two-engined I'-2V. It has been missing with its 10-man crew since Nov.

6. A Russian note to the U. S. charged that the plane, flying a plotted course which approached the Soviet coast no closer than 40 miles, violated Soviet territory in the Cape Ostrovnaya area about SO miles from Vladivostok. Warren R.

Austin, chief American delegate to the United Nations, denied in a letter to UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie that the plane ventured into Soviet territory and asked that the case he submitted to the UN security council. "The route this plane was following did not approach closer than 40 miles to the territories," Austin said, "and the plane crew had been briefed thoroughly not to approach closer than l-'O miles to territory under any circumstances." Austin said "it can only be concluded that the plane was intercepted and attacked without warning while over international water, and furthermore, while well outside of 20 miles from the Russian coastline." U. S. state department officials said that there was supporting evidence for the American assertion that the plane was attacked over the open sea without having in any way violated Russian territory. Rut they declined to say what this evidence was on the ground that it was information classified secret by the defense department.

There was some speculation, however, that the plane's position at the time of the attack had boon traced by radar, either land or sea based. Mrs. Rogers' statement a prompted by the disclosure last inight that Cen. Matthew R. Ridg-jvvay had reported to the United Nations as early as Nov.

Meanwhile, in New Orleans, Mrs. Reuben David Dry declared that Yerke is her husband. (AP Wirephoto.) Says Man Reunited With Family in Detroit Her Husband. A British spokesman said his delegation felt Vishinsky, by his amendments, was trying to inject into the three-power resolution the Soviet disarmament program made up of all the old Russian themes. A French spokesman expressed the view Vishinsky had left the door open to negotiation.

The net effect of the speech, eagerlv awaited all week, was that the Russians had reiterated their opposition to the western proposals and had not moved one inch slaughtered after capture. Four days later Hanley's announcement was confirmed in part by Cen. Ridgvvay in a statement that gave no estimated number, however, and deplored the method Hanley used in making his figures public.

Russia's note to the United States, rejected in the name of Ridgway's UN command, said two Soviet fighters approached the American plane with the intention of forcing it to land," since it had "violated" Soviet territory.

Several persons said that their churches were going to make Sunday school projects out of sending things to Korea.

One woman telephoned from Glenmora, that her church was going to sponsor a program to send gifts of clothing and toys directly to the nurse. Her attitude sums up that of many contributors when she told Mrs. Pliler that "our town has been wanting to do something extra to help in Korea for a long time. This is a wonderful opportunity.
