Report Studied

LAKE feUCCESS. Dec 16-.J’
—Tlie united nations atomic en-
ergy commission was said authori-
tatively today to be considering
a report w'hich thus far lacks the
essential control features demanded
by the United States as the price
for yielding its atomic secrets to
the world.
The commission’s delegates were
called into closed session today as
a committee to study the report
which must be made to the united
nations security council by Dec. 31.
An informed source who would
not be identified said that the
working paper now before the dele-
gates included a statement on pro-
cedures, a section on findings and
a third section on recommenda-
tions.
Instead of including a concrete
l>lan for control, this source added,
the section on recommendations
deals so far only with relatively
unimportant features, surh as what
types of Inspectors are necessary
In controls.
The delegates, who hare been
working steadily to frame their
report, have avoided a vote on a
control plan, it was said
for questioning.
