was and its source
There also had been criticism

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. IT,
The United States Government
believes the proposed United
Nations commission for the con-
troll of atomic energy-particu-
larly the atomic bomb-can be
functioning in two months.
Secretary of State Byrnes held
out that possibility in speech here
last night.
In the first administration pro-

Mr.. Byrnes said the period of three

He emphasized again the willing
ness of this country to exchange
Immediately the basic scientific in
formation on atomic energy and said
the three nations 'look forward
to the cooperation of the other
United Nations.
At the same time, Mr.. Byrnes con-
ceded that the three-power pro-
posals represented "a very modest
first step in what is certain to prove
a long and difficult Journey"
He said Americans should not
imagine wishfully that overnight
there can arise full grown a world
government wise and strong enough
to protect all of us and tolerant
and democratic enough to command
our willing loyalty"
Hence, Mr.. Byrnes said, when
President Truman, British Prime

Minister Mackenzie King got around
to determining how soon the know
how of atomic energy should be
shared with other nations, "only one
answer was possible"
Secrets Sacred Trust.
Until effective safeguards can be
developed, in the form of interna-

President, as sacred trust-a trust
in the exercise of which we are al

obligation" he declared.
The civilized world cannot survive

To that great goal Of humanity, we
must ever rededicate our hearts and

Mr., Byrnes declared the atomic

He denied any suggestion that an
attempt was being made to use the

De GauIIe Will Carry
Fight on Communists
To Country Today
Reds Still Refuse to Join
Appeal to President to
Withdrew Resignation
BY the Associated Press,

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE deadlock
in formation of an interim
French government continued
today, with the Communist
party refusing to join in a three
party appeal to Gen. Charles de
Gaulle to reconsider his resigna-
ton as President.
Gen. de Gaulle, whose ace card
according to his associates, is that
he does not especially want the
job" prepared to state his case to
the country in radio address to-
night at 8 pm. q pm. EST.
The crisis was precipitated by
Communist demands for one of the
three key posts in the government
which will rule for the next seven
months while the Constituent AS
sembly drafts constitution for the
Fourth Republic. AS. the largest
single party in the newly elected As
sembly the Communists insisted
they were entitled to the foreign
affairs, war or interior portfolio.
Assembly Meets Monday.
The Assembly, which unanimous
ly elected Gen. de Gaulle President
only last Tuesday, will meet Mon
day to act.
No other candidates have come
forward for the presidency and, un-
less week end negotiations produce
compromise. the Assembly faced
the possibility of being forced to
accept Gen. de Gaulle's resignation
and then re-elect him, since he has
no equal in French popularity.
Such a compromise was attempted
this morning at a meeting of 80
representatives of the three princi-
pal parties in the Assembly-the
Communists, Socialists and Popular
Republican Movement IN. r. P.).
But the Communists refused to
bulge.
Restate Determination.
Delegates of the M. r. P. restated
their party's determination to ac-
cept only Gen. de Gaulle as Presi-
dent.
Socialists, still trying to mediate
the dispute, suggested that the COM
mittee ask Gen. de Gaulle to recon-
sicer, but the Communists rejected
the appeal
Gen. de Gaulle himself was re-
ported refusing to compromise with
Communist demands.
Normally the next step would be
for the Assembly to elect a new in
terim president who would under
take the task of forming a gov
eminent. However, France has been
so completely under the shadow of
Gen. de Gaulles popularity that
this action has been deferred, and
French party leaders are working
for a solution. They seek an agree
ment among themselves which they
can place before Gen. de Gaulle be-
fore the crucial assembly meeting
which is scheduled for Monday.

ignation in a letter to Assembly
