Big Three Conference
On Atomic Bomb
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas, Democrat, OF California
demanded today that this country
invite Russia and Britain to a Big
Three atomic bomb conference.
I'VE can afford to split the atom,
but We cannot afford to split the Big
Three" Mrs. Douglas said in q
speech prepared for House delivery.
/ She described as "a disappoint-
ment" the recent Anglo-American-
Canadian statement proposing to
turn over to q United Nations COM
mission the problem Of working out
atomic bomb controls.
Such q commission as useful but
not likely to be adequate" Mrs.
Douglas said, because 1t "is no SUBJ
stitute for direct consultation be-
tween the heads Of states"
Proposes Prompt Action.
Is In q resolution, she proposed that
President Truman invite the British
and Russian government "imme-
diately in order to discuss the
common danger created by atomic
weapons and to plan for the Joint
approach by these three nations to
the other members of the United
Nations ="
Members Of the special Senate
Committee on Atomic Energy-just
returned from an inspection of
atomic plants In Tennessee-ar-
ranged to begin public hearings
Monday.
4, Prospective witnesses include Mai.
Gen. Leslie Groves, the top man in
running the $4,000, ,000, 900 project
which brought forth the atomic
bomb, and DR.. Harold c. Urey, Co.
lumbia and Chicago University
scientist, one of the experimenters
and developers.
Gen. Groves guided the super Sc
crecy Of the war work. DR.. Urey Is
one Of the most vocal of the scien-
lists who have contended too much
secrecy now is both unnecessary and
unwise.
Senators Finish Inspection.
Legislation affecting atomic en-
ergy Is within the scope Of the spe-
cial committee, headed by Senator
Mcmahon, Democrat, Of Connecti-
cut. He led q nine man group of
Senators through an inspection Of
the Oak Ridge, Tenn, plants Tues
day and Wednesday.
On their return, members were
asked about the statement BY An
thony Eden In the House Of Com
mons yesterday that the big powers
ought to scrap their right OF veto
In the United Nations organization
In view Of atomic energy discoveries.
Mr.. Eden, former British foreign
minister, urged all nations to abate
their present ideas Of sovereignty"
and recognize that the power to veto
use OF force in peace-keeping steps is
"an anachronism In the modern
world"
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado told a reporter Mr.. Eden
has . strong point. He said from 4
realistic point Of view, he doubted
whether 1t would ind much favor
with either the American people
or the Russians"
Senator Millikin, Republican, Of
Colorado told . reporter he thought
this issue would be before the com
mittee later, and for that reason
wanted to withhold comment.

 I kept telling myself it was real battle, with men dying there below, but it was fantastic, looking more like toy ships sailing a painted ocean, making pretty flashes of fire and flowing out white smoke rings.
 It was no toy battle, I knew, be- cause for two hours before had talked with doctors and saw wound ed waiting on stretchers in small hut at the airfield.

POLISH PLOT E BEING REVEALED
 AT MOSCOW TRIAL
Nothing Indicates that Britain or Leaders
 Involved in Bloc

MOSCOW. June 19.-A Polish journalism, testifying today in the military trial in Moscow of Is Poles accused of Fifth Column activities against Russian forces, said that the Polish Underground Armys Propa- ganda Minister had directed that the Red Army in occupied Poland be considered an enemy" and an "ag- gressor.'
 The witness, Stanislaw Kuyavin- ski, said he saw such directive in the Underground Office of Proga- ganda on May 15, 1945. The gensr- al line of underground propaganda, he said, was against the Soviet Union."
 Previous witnesses have testified that members of the Polish Under ground regarded the Russians as worse foes than the Germans, and that the Polish Home Army had promised it's followers that Poland would receive all of the Ukraine up to. the Dnieper River, including Kiev.
 Maj. Gen, Afanasev Juvilisky, the prosecutor, contended that the de- sfendants admitted a Polism Home Army plot to form Western Eu- ropean Bloc after victory in Europe, aimed at the Soviet Union, directed by the Polish Exile government in Londcn and including Poland and defeated Germany as partners.
 Neither the testimony nor state ments by the prosecution insinuated however, that Britain or any of her Headers were involved in the alleged plot to form an anti-Soviet bloc.
