Britain Rejects
French Plan On
Spanish Dispute

London, March ). - (AP) -
tiIonIV placed sources said today the
British Government has rejected a
French suggestion that the question
"i the Fra % regime in Spain be
brought before the United Nations
security council.
These sources said the French
proposal was made in notes sent last
week to Britain, the United States
and Russia.
They said Alfred Duff Cooper,
British ambassador to France, sub
mitted the rejection note to Georges
Bldault. French foreign minister,
but that conversations were contlnu-
nc in Paris.
The rejection was reportedly
based on continued British insist
er G that the replacement Of Cen
craliSsimo Francisco Franco as 1hAel
Of the Spanish government was phi
marily a program for the Spanish
people and that further "outslde m
tlUcncc' would only serve 10
strengthen FraCco.

WORLD ATOMIC
CONTROL ASKED
State Department Recon-
mends International Com
mission For Power

WASHINGTON, March 28-U.D-
The State department committee
on atomic energy reported Thurs
day night that peaceful, progress
sive control of this awful force
must be given to an all-powerful
International commission instead
Of global police squad seeking to
handcuff its uses for war.
Such police force just won't
work, the committee told Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes. But, it
said in an extensive report, an in
ternational atomic development
authority, with powers to control
atomic energy from the earth to
the finishing plant, can do the job.
Just Foundation
The report and its recommended
lions, it was emphasized, is only
"a working paper, not a final
plan" AS Byrnes stressed in a
foreword, it is "a place to begin, a
foundation on which to build" But
1t hammered again and again at
the premise that international con-
troll of the sources of atomic power
extending to downright owner
ship of the sources-Was the only
workable answer to the world S
fears.
The report was sent to the White
House and to the Secretaries OF
War and Navy, as well as to Senate

Yesterday a # e IN o o n two
former Army captains who saw
rugged service, including ma
chine-gun fire, bursting bombs,
and shrapnel, in World War I
were having their picture

In the posture of old war

grinned the devil may care

Then it happened.
The photographer snapped

President Truman, Thursday, set
up an unprecedented elder states
mems organization for national de-
tense, as he called it, composed of

noted, has this nation made finan-
cial provision for its retired mill
tary leaders which enables them to
continue public service. He in
dictated to his news conference that
he definitely plans to use them..
Full Support
Mr.. Truman also gave assurance
that Secretary of State Byrnes has
his full support in pressing for dis
cussion of the Iranian situation in
the United Nations Security Coun-
Gil. In reply to another question.
he said he had no misgivings that
the walkout of the Russian repre-
sentative would be permanent alb
sence.
The chief executive announced
his so-called elder statesmen's or
ganization for defense at the out
set of his conference and said II
would serve directly under him.
He acted under a bill just passed
by Congress providing permanent
five-star rank for the four gen
erals and four admirals who held
that temporary rank during the
war. and permanent four-star rank
for General Alexander A. Vande-
grift and Admiral Russell r.
