It might as weU be admitted
he continued here and now that

I want to make It very plain
that I am concerned here with the
veto power only as it affects this
particular problem. There must be
no veto to protect those who vio-
late their solemn agreements not
to develop or use atomic energy
for destructive purposes.
Baruch envisioned control of
other weapons of war and perhaps
of war itself.
Before a country la ready to re-
linquish any winning weapons he
said it must have more than
words to reassure it It must have
a guarantee of safety not only
against tha offender in the atomic
area but against the illegal mere

against war itself.

Baruch in proposing the Inter-

thority arid that starting with
raw material It should have:
'6 Managerial control or own-
erahlp of all atomic energy
activities potentially dangerous to
world security.
2 Power to control inspect
license all other atomic ac-
tivititw. '9 The duty of fostering the
beneficial uses of atomic
energy.
'A Research and development
' responsibilities of an af-
firmative character Intended to
put tha authority in tha forefront
of atomic knowledge and thus to
enable It to comprehend and
therefore to detect misuse of
atomic energy. To be effective
tha authority must Itself be the
world's leader in the field of
atomic knowledge and develop-
ment and thus supplement its
legal authority with tha great
power inherent in possession of
leadership In the knowledge.
Tha grey statesman who aald
ha had token up this task in tha
afternoon of my life" told the
commission that the peoples wa
would not believe and
without faith nothing counts that
a treaty merely outlawing pos-
session or use of the atomic bomb
constitutes effective fulfillment of
the instructions to this commis-
sion. Previous failures have been
recorded in trying file method of
simple renunciation unsupported
by effective guarantees of security
and armament limitation. No one
would have frith in that approach
alone.
Now if ever la the time to act
for the common good. Public opin-
ion supports a world movement to-
ward security. If I reed the signs
aright the people want a program
not composed merely of pious
thoughts but of enforceable sanc-
tions an international law with

As for violations of the pro-
posed control framework Baruch
said penalties of as serious a na-
ture as the nations may wish and
aa immediate and certain in their
execution as possible should be
fixed .for:
d Illegal press salon or use of
I an atomic bomb;
'4 Illegal possession or separa-

Creation or operation of dan-
gerous projects in a manner
ontrary to or in the absence of. a
license granted by the interna-
tional control body.
BXeanwhiia it was explained
authoritatively that the proced-
ure for setting up the authority if
the American plan la adopted
would be for the commission to
recommend it to the security coun-
cil and the council to pare it on to
the member nations In the form at
treaties to be formally ratified by
each country.

From Pift 1
will be no Interruption of work.
His Insistence on 2$ cents an
hour has been a block in the gov-
ernments drive for a general set-
tlement with the seven-union
Committee for Maritime Unity
(CMU) claiming te represent
200000 workers.
Bridges intimation that the
west eeast Lregsheremen would
accept the 21 rents an hour-
reeem mended by fact-finding
board May 15 came t a speech
early today which ha telephoned
te the pre strike rallies on the
west coast where it waa $ pa.
Bridges alio Hung u string of
add comments about file Truman
administration and labor depart-
ment conciliator in the maritime
dispute who he said did every-
thing poeaibla to stall double-
talk and mislead.
Those conciliator meantime be-
lieved they could right victory in
their 17-day effort to bring peace
through negotiations between tha
unions and the employer.
The chief concilia ton Edgar L.
Warren replied sure! last night
when asked whether he thought a
settlement with Bridges could be
worked out by 2 P-m. (E8T) to-
day. That was the scheduled hour
of a meeting which many were
sure would bring signing of 1
general agreement.
Despite all the hopeful
the maritime sitaatioa
hardly be Bewildered saythtag
hot critical util the actual dea-
ler had takea place.
In Pacific Atlantic and Gulf
seaports CIO seamen and dock
worker were keeping alive their
strike threat by going ahead with
preparations to walk out at one
minute after midnight In each
time zone.
All their grievances bad not
been met. For example Joseph
Belly who heeds CIO radio ope-
rators was still holding' out for'
his demand that ships carry taro
operators Instead of one.
Furthermore tha month-old
CMU has a pact under which the
strike must be carried out unless
all the unions are satisfied.
On the other hand Jo Currans
CIO National Maritime union
biggest unit in the CMU had in-
formally accepted Its portion of
the settlement calling for wage
increases of $1740 a month and
overtime payments after 48 hours
at are Instead of the present 56.
Cams aeeawd pretty pleaaed
about it last nlskt whan ha
poke to a New York pre-strike
rally ever a telephone heokop
Irani Washington. Wa have
cracked the 66-hoar work
week he mid. Wa hare with-
out qaesttea received a mb-
atantial waetedaa.
Bridges addressed tha same
meeting. He didnt seem pleased
at all and emphasized that tha
trike has not bean settled yet.
Labor department conciliator
were groggy from Ire ot sleep as
they went into what they hoped
would be the last day of nego-
tiations. Lest night they put out taro
announcements. Tha fi-at issued
around 1:30 retd the talks had hit
a vary satisfactory pace this
afternoon and evening and
added that many problems have
been met and settled but several ...
matters bava yet to be resolved. I Hr. J. G. Moser.
