NEW YORK, June IA
(AP) - The United States
Friday offered to destroy the
store of atomic bombs anG
share the atomic secrets fol

would set up adequate safe
guards to make sure this weapon
never again could be used as ar
instrument of war.
These safeguards included:
l. Surrender of the veto power

matters pertaining to atomic de-
velopment.
Absolute Power
2. Creation of an internationa,

absolute power over atomic raw
materials and production.
8. Adoption of international laws

punishment of violators on a basis
to be determined by the United

U. S. representative on the 12-na-

The white-haired 75-year-old
Baruch made it clear in his his
toric statement that the United
States would hold a monopoly in
the atomic field until the condi-
tons are met.
Would Destroy Bombs
When that time finally comes,
he said, the United States would
be willing to agree that the manu-
facture of atomic bombs shall stop,
all existing bombs shall be de-
stroyed and the authority shall be
given full information "as to the
know-how for the production of
atomic energy"
The delegations, seated at the
crescent-shaped council table, lis
tened solemnly as Barucn, pro-
nouncing his words slowly and dis
tinct1y, laid down IS proposals for
outlawing the lethal atomic bomb
and expressed hope that the COM
mission eventually would be able
to ban the u of other terrible
weapons, such as gas and bacteria
