ATOMIC ENERGY CONTROL

SEVEN STATES AGREE ON PLAN RUSSIAN VIEW STILL TO BE DECLARED (Rec. H p.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 27. A new stage in the fourteen months’ search for an international ’atomic control wag reached to-day, when seven nations at h meeting of the control committee of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission announced their support of specific detailed proposals for the actual operation of a global security agency. They were the United States, Britain, . Australia, Canada, France, China, and Brazil. The recommendations hsd come before the committee in the form of six documents drawn up by working groups and had taken three months to prepare. They amount to a plan for an agency that would have sole control of all dangerous atomic activities, would have the final decision on what military research should be outlawed, and would own all atomic ores and fuels and, possibly, dangerous production plants. Still be heard from, however, is Russia, which refused to participate in the writing of the papers because they were based on Mr Bernard Baruch’s plan. The committee’s decisions on the papers will be embodied in a report to the Security Council.
