CHAIRMAN OF U.N.O. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION RESIGNS
Recd. 9.45 p.m. New York, Jan. 4 Mr. Bernard Baruch, American representative on the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, has resigned, and his staff has resigned with him. Mr. Baruch, who advised the United States to keep on making atomic bombs and maintain its atomic secrets until the completion of a treaty for international control, said it was unnecessary for him to remain on the Commission as Senator Austin, American member of the Security Council, could look after the United States interests in world control of atomic energy. In a letter to President Truman, Mr. Baruch said there was no reason why the United States should not continue to manufacture atomic bombs. Russia has urged the atomic bomb be outlawed immediately. President Truman paid a tribute to Mr. Baruch’s skill and patience in presenting the American proposals.
