Marshall Says U. S. Seeks Atom Control, Despite Soviet Stand fty th« Associated Press ■ Secretary of State Marshall said yesterday the United States will keep pressing for effective inter national control of atomic energy despite the deadlock with Soviet Russia over the issue. . Harnessing the atom to peaceful purposes alone, Gen. Marshall said, “remains a paramount problem of humanity.” It promises a renewed dispute with Russia at the Septem ber session of the United Nations General Assembly. Criticizing the Soviet proposal which the U. N. Atomic Energy Commission turned down, the Secre tary said that a “sham control is worse than none.” Gen. Marshall reviewed the vain efforts of more than two years to reach agreement with Russia, in a foreward to a bulky new State De partment publication which rounds up the major atomic control de velopment between late 1946 and last May 17. On the latter date the U. N. commission acknowledged a complete deadlock and referred the problem back to the Security Council. ‘ (In London the Council of the Atomic Scientists Association an nounced Friday it has given up hope of international control of the atom while the cold war con tinues between Russia and the West.) Gen. Marshall wrote: “On the basis of the proposal originally made by the United States, 14 out of 17 of the nations which are now, or have been, rep resented on the commission have worked out together what they con aider to be the essential basis for the establishment of an effective system of control. The Soviet Union, Poland and the Ukraine still reject the majority proposals.” Summarizing the major issues di viding the majority and the Soviet Hoe, Gen. Marshall said: “1. The majority believes, and the United States agrees, that the in ternational agreement setting up the control system should provide for the prohibition and elimination of atomic weapons from national armaments. "The Soviet Union on the other hand continues to insist that a con vention prohibiting atomic weapons should be signed, ratified, and put Into effect and the weapons de stroyed, before consideration is given to any system of control. Even if the Soviet convention on prohibi tion were agreed on, the Soviet Union will give no assurances that a second convention on control would be acceptable. "2. The Soviet Union rejects as an unwarranted intrusion on na tional sovereignty a control agecy with those powers of ownership, operation, management, and ade quate Inspection which the major ity. including the United States, considers essential to real control. '‘Unless the international agency has such affirmative powers, duly prescribed and defined by treaty, nationalistic rivalries would still operate and might lead to conflict behind a screen of false assurance. A sham control is worse than none.” 'The State Department entitled its publication "Policy at the Cross roads.” It advised that the United States as the holder of a temporary monopoly over atomic weapons must continue to “remain strong in this field” until the monopoly "can be safely exchanged for an effective system of International control.” Nobody Can Beat Truman-Barkley, Margaret Says By th« Associated Press Miss Margaret Truman yester day predicted her father’s election in November and said she might travel with him in the campaign.
