New York, Oct. g - CUP) - Der. nard M. Baruch, chief American delegate to the. United Nations Atomic Energy Control Commission defended Americas plan for inter- national control of atomic mater aals as generous and just" in ar address last night and said ''nc amount of deliberately created con- fusion shall prevail against it."
 The address, which was made al the annual Freedom House dinner was considered reply to former Secretary of Commerce Henry A Wallace's charge that Baruch ha6 created an impaSSe between Rus gia and the western powers on the Atomic commission because of his sstubborn and inflexible approach
 Baruch dismissed Wallace's criti- cism with one barbed phrase: "He who can, does; he who can't, criti- cizes.'
 U. $. Not to Deviate
 Baruch, 76-year-old adviser to presidents, was presented the Free dom House award for outstanding service to the cause of peace. Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of the late President, made the presenta- tion.
 Baruch made it clear at the be- ginning of his speech that there would be no deviation from Amer 3ca's atomic energy control plan.
 The President, the Secretary of State and certain senatorial ad- visers have given full authorization to our program" he said. That program still standS-generouS and just. And no amount of deliberate ly created confusion shall prevail against it"
 He decried suggestions that America destroy it's Stockpile of atomic bombs before effective meth ods of control are established.
 U. s. Not to Sacrifice Alone
 How can anyone ask destruction of existing bombs unless their fur ther manufacture is effectively pro- hibited?" he asked. Why should America alone be asked to make sacrifices by way of unilateral dis armament in the cause of interna- tlonal goodwill? II equality of sacri- lice be needed, then each should participate"
 He said he believed the American plan contained rough approach to the abolition not only of one in- strument of war but of war itself"
 America stands ready to lift the use of the atomic bomb from death to life, Baruch added, If the world VIII Join in a pact to insure the worlds security from atomic war fare"
 But, he warned, it must be a real 1stlc pact, mot just a pious expres- sion of intent, wholly lacking in methods of enforcement"
 Raps Criticism of Inspection
 He made it plain that there could be no compromise on the proposal that the big powers give up the right of veto insofar as atomic energy is concerned and decried the Soviet criticism of the right of in- spection.
 The Soviets protest that inspec- ton violates national sovereignty" he said. Better that than interna- t1onal disaster. America is willing to accept inspection as control meas ure, and for some time America would be the most inspected"
 He laid down four-point pro- gram which he declared was the 'rreduclble minima" essential to effective control:
 l. Control of the production
 and use of uranium. thorium
 and fisSionable materials to en-
 sure their use for peace and
 prevent their diversion for war.
 2. Prohibition, including pro-
 vision for swift and certain
 punishment for illegal possess
 sion or use of an atomic bomb,
 illegal possession or separation
 Of atomic materials and seizure
 of any plant or property be-
 longing to or licensed by the
 international authority.
 3. Transition to information
 al control by successive stages.
 4. Provision that no nation
 accepting the international control treaty can escape in- spectlon by applying the veto
