Atomic Par|ey Eyes
Soviet for Reaction
10 Control Proposals
Bs the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
Allied officials involved in the
atomic bomb talks here indi-
Gated today they are largely con-
cerned now about Russia's re-
action to the forthcoming Anglo
Americans Canadian proposal for
controlling atomic force.
Evidence recently available from
British authorities is that President
Truman, Prime Minister Attlee and
Prime Minister Mackenzie King will
seek particularly In their conclusions
on plans fol-. international atomic
controls to reassure Russia by offer
ing to share scientific knowledge OF
atomic power fully with the Soviet
Union and other countries.
Indications are that ct the same
time Russia will be invited to re-
assure the Western Allies about her
policies and intentions by agreeing
to toss her scientific information in
the contemplated pool and, possibly,
by giving some evidence of her long
range territorial and political aims.
Worried by Several Questions.
The questions which have official
insiders worried is, what happens
if Russia doesn't want to accept the
Anglo-Araerican proposal? Would
a negative reaction from Moscow,
they ask, tend to split the world into
two camps? Would it take all the
wraps of an atomic armament race?
Because of the dangers foreseen
by Allied diplomats IN any real dis
agreement, among the Big Three
over the handling of atomic power,
there is some chance that the pro-
posals put forward by Mr.. Attlee.
Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Mackenzie
King will be general In approach to
the problem rather than hard and
fast specifications. This would leave
the way open for Russian sugges-
tions and contemporaries.
The three met for two hours late
yesterday after Mr.. Attlee had de-
livered a Commute speech in Con-
gress. In that address the British
leader asked for constantly tighter
Anglo-American cooperation and
said that after the atomic talks
here the Allies would have to get
together with all the nations of the
world.
viii Meet Again Today.
Mr., Attlee has proposed doing this
through the mechanism of the
United Nations. Whether Mr.. Tru-
man and Mr.. Mackenzie King share
his views on this point is not known
because they and their associates
have held rigidly to a policy of 81
lence on the conference.
Another meeting was set for :
pm. today DR.. Vannevar Bush, di-
rector of the ONCE Of Scientific Re-
search and Development, met with
the conferees yesterday.
Mr.. Attlee's speech yesterday was
widely complimented by Senators
and Representatives for what they
called its "frankness," although
many were critical of the plans Mr.
Attlee discussed for Matchmaking
major British industries and Great
ing planned economy.

H. ]. {. Girls Champs
At Cage Tourney

Emerging ~unscathed in four tourna-
ment clashes, two of which were tough
battles, the Holmes Junior College girls
again proved their superiority in
basketball in the state meet and sue
cessfully defended the trophy they won
when the last playoff was staged at
Laurel in l94l. Decatur fell victim to
tse Holmes machine in the deciding tilt
at Raymond by a 81 to 20 score.
BY virtue of an unusual drawing, the
loop crown bearers were forced to un-
zeal a preliminary tilt with Wesson
but had little trouble in gaining a 81
to IL victory as Mccullough and Ire
loar each bagged ~ points. Opposing
Raymond in their second tiff, the Hol-
mes lassies met unborn competition
but had the offensive punch in the
final quarter to net a 3S to 81 triumph,
with Rhea and Treloar each collecting
) markers. A valiant East Mississippi
tx from Scooba was no match for the
determined Goodman sextet, which
registered a 3s to II decision. Scoring
honors were close, with Rhea bucketing
Ia counters, Treloar IL and Rhea 10.
Mary Belle Treloar looped % tallies In
the deciding tussle TO pace her mates
to a 81 to 20 verdict over Decatur.
During the successful campaign, the
diadem winners won IL games and lost
3, all to the Decatur combine. They
smashed Moorhead four times, Wesson
twice. East Central once and capped
everything by finishing in front a
quartet of times in the state event. In
the two times they have emerged with
top honors, the squad has gained SO
victories in 40 efforts for a mark of
300.
Mccullough, forward, and Gillian
guard, landed places On the All-State
first team, while Rhea was placed on
the second six.
