Brocktonion BIudseoned
 Slayer Leoves
 Prints tn Snow

Brockton, Mass, Dec. 28.-(UP)- Renee Cote. 35. of Brockton, shop foreman in an automobile sales agency, was choked and budgeoned to death in his home early today and police investigated a theory that the staying resulted from al- legged black market car operations.
 Authorities were summoned by Cotes wife Bertha, 28, who said she was wakened by sounds of an ar- gument. Police discovered her hus- bands body in the living room of their home. The victims daughter Barbara Ann, 4 also was wakened by sounds of the early morning struggle.
 Outside the house in new-fallen snow police found footprints lead ing to and from the rear door of the Cote home. Assistant District Attorney Jackson R. Wheatley joined police who indicated that the prints would play an important part in the search for Cotes slayer.
 Before she collapsed, Mrs. Cote told police that her husband was sleeping on a couch in the living room of their three-room apartment on the top floor of a three-story wooden dwelling.
 Cote's slayer apparently entered the house by rear door, climbed to the apartment and proceeded through it to the living room with out disturbing Mrs. Cote.
 The woman said she was aroused by the sounds of arguing that was followed by the noise of struggle. She said she feared to enter the living room so ran downstairs and called police. By the time they reached the house Cote's attacker had fled.
 Medical Examiner Pierce H. Leav- fit said that Cote had been straugled and beaten. There was deep laoer- ation across the mans forehead. Police said they were investigating reports that Cote had been ap- preached by a ring of black mar keteers for sale of cars at over ceiling prices.

after the Uniteo NaClonS AColnlS Energy Commission split alnos' evenly on one vital issue. The dis rupted point was whether the Big Five should be allowed to use the veto power to block punishment oi a country making atomic bombs il- legally.
 The United States said it would not join in treaty to outlaw atomic weapons and pool atomic information unless the treaty pro- vided automatic punishment tol violators. China and four smaller countries backed the U. S. stand.
 Each Side Argues Vigorously
 Their view collided with the wishes of two other Big Five powers Russia and France. They insist ed that under the UN Charter, pun ishment directed by the Security Council must be subject to the Big Five veto. Poland, Great Britain Canada and the Netherlands sym pathized with this view to varying degrees.
 Each side argued its case with equal vigor. Until all the Big Five powers and practically all of the smaller nations agree, there can be no hope for international regula- ton of atomic activities.
 The crisis may come Monday when the atomic commission planned a final vote. Delegates hoped, however, that weekend con- ferences could help reconcile the sharp differences.
 Whil the bitter split over the veto frightened many LIN delegates, they were cheered by the fact that members of the atomic commission agreed on every other detail of the American atomic energy program sponsored by Bernard Baruch.
 Tentatively Approve Provisions
 Commission members during eight hours of closed meetings ten- tatively approved provisions for in- ternational inspection of atomic facilities, and the eventual junking of all existing atomic weapons.
 They accepted page after page of the Baruch proposals. only to sttim- ble over four words-whether treaty violators should be protected from punishment "by veto or otherwise" !"
 The white-haired Baruch said that unless those words stayed in, he could not ask the U. S. Senate to approve an atomic treaty. This would mean that the U. s. would keep it's atomic secrets.
 Baruch emphasized the take-it- or-leave-it nature of his proposal by predicting that the American people would withdraw their sup port of LIN if the veto power re- finained.
 Makes sharp RetOrt
 "only those nations which may intend to violate the treaty would want the protection of the veto," Baruch said.
 Soviet Delegate Andrei Gromyko argued last week that the LIN Charter provides TOT a veto over Security Council action, and that the veto could be eliminated only through Charter revision. Since then. Soviet spokesmen have re fused to discuss merits of the Baruch proposals.
