Grave danger confronts United
Nations efforts to set up inter-
national atomic controls, Ber-
nard M. Baruch and Henry A.
Wallace virtually agreed today.
But they bitterly disputed the
cause.
Mr.. Wallace, ousted Secretary of
Commerce. blamed Mr. Baruch. He
declared that with nations already
launched on "a frantic atomic bomb
race" Mr.. Baruch has adopted a
stubborn and infiexible" approach
to negotiations involving Russia.
Mr.. Baruch. American member of

Commission. blamed Mr.. Wallace.
He asserted the former cabinet Of
ficer perpetrated "errors" and
caused public confusion In his crit
icism OF the United States control
plan.
The errors" Mr.. Baruch charged,
are "gravely dangerous to the deli
cate negotiations now underway"
While President Truman put the
whole controversy down as mat
ter between Mr.. Baruch and Mr..
Wallace, the Government actually
appeared to be caught between its
international negotiations and the
domestic controversy which the
highly personal charges of the two
men seemed certain to arouse.

removed from the cabinet last

retary of State Byrnes over Russian
relations, had the latest word in

strong possibility the aid will be

Three Home Projects
In Alexandra Offered
For Sale by FpHA

In Chinquopin, Cameron,
Ramsey Developments

Three large war-born housing

quapin Village, Cameron Valley

Navy employees now share the COM
munities together with sprinkling
of veterans.
Alexandria Queried.
Mayor William T. wilkins of
Alexandria said the FPHA has
asked the city If it is interested in
buying the projects.
Mr.. wilkins said he has already
notified members of the City Coun-
Gil and will call public hearing
soon" on the proposed acquisition.
Weighing against the purchase,
he explained. is the fact that the
emergency homes do not conform
to the city building codes and other
municipal safety regulations.
However, he expressed the fear
that II the city does not take over
the homes and they are sold to pri-
vate interests they may decline into
a slum area"

is Cameron Valley, with 342 perma-
nent units, housing more than 1900
