LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15-You'll be bare, brown and beautiful on the beach next summer, if Fred Cole, of California, has his way but in any event you'll be bare.
 New swim styles shown to visit ing fashion editors from all sec tions of the country today reduced coverage to bare minimums, with expanses of sun-tanned skin the most important part of every out fit. The scraps of fabric which make up the high-style swim suits, however, are stretched and draped with flattering and functional ef- feet. As MT Cole explained:
 We want to keep 'em bare but flattering. We want 'em functional, but beautiful And the average figure is bad"
 With the average figure in mind, MT. Cole does swim shorts in elas- ticized shirred treatments which have the effect of a girdle. He ties bra tops with the artistry of a corsetiere He adds brief ballet skirts to cover the widest part of the female anatomy. But midriffs are almost uniformly bare, bra tops have one strap or none at all, and all suits have an air of carefree abandon very popular, says he, with femininity in general.

Control of Atomic Energy Is Announced in 0f-
 fiCiaI Statement

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-The United States, Britain and Canada today proposed to hand over to the United Nations the task of arrang- ing world controls for the destruc- tive forces of atomic energy.
 The three powers made plain that the know-how of making the atomic bomb would be kept secret from all other nationS-which would include their Russian ally-until "ef- fective, reciprocal and enforceable safeguards acceptable to all nations" are devised.
 A statement signed by President Truman, and Prime Ministers Attlee and Mackenzie King laid down the conditions for the reciprocal sharing of atomic information for industrial purposes.
 Their statement, issued the press at the White House after six days of conferences, proposed that special commission should be set up under the United Nations as soon as possi- ble to work out recommendations designed ito attain the most effec- tive means of entirely eliminating the use of atomic energy for destruc- tive purposes and promoting it's wid- est use :. for industrial anN hu- manitarian purposes
 While Russia was nowhere men, tioned by name, the question which immediately arose among diplomats here was how fully acceptable to Moscow the Anglo-Anerican-Can- adian plans for controlling atomic energy would be, particularly in view of Russia's reluctance throughout the war to exchange information even on established weapons,
