BY the Assoeiotsd Press

MOSCOW, June 24.-Pravda
declared fatty today that Soviet
Russia never will surrender the
veto power in any atomic control
plan, and said the United States
proposal for control OF the
weapon reflects evident striving
for world rule"
In our times, such striving can
not succeed" Pravda said in its
lengthy international review de-
nouncing the proposal of Bernard
M. Baruch to the United Nations
Security Council as the product of
atomic diplomacy"
The official Communist news
paper said that there is not and
cannot be surrender to this right"
of veto in atomic matters, such as
the Baruch plan envisages If the
United States is to share its secret
of atomic fission in an effort to
outlaw and control this $4,000, ,OOO,-
600 weapon.
The newspaper praised the Rus
sian counterproposal placed before
the Security Council by Andrei
Gromyko calling for prohibition
of production and use of atomic
bombs-that in a few words is the
essence of the Soviet proposal"
THE Soviet plan reflects un-
changing Soviet politics of peace
and defense and universal security"
Pravda said, terming Mr.. Gromykos
suggestion humane, clear and
"Clinching Monopoly"
The Russian proposal has been
published conspicuously and tex
tually in Russia. Mr.. Baruch's
plan never has been pub
lished fully or in its complete text
in the Soviet press.
Pravda said the United States
Government counted on naming the
period, under its own judgment,
during which it will permit an in
ternational agency "by successive
stages to peep into the secrets of its
atomic Kitchen"
THE American plan amounts, as
a matter of fact, to clinching the
monopoly position of the United
States in the production of atomic
weapons for an indefinite period"
Pravda continued. During this
period, which will be conditioned
by the development or work of an
International control organ, the
United States intends to produce
and store atomic bombs.
Afterwards the United States in
lends by degrees-'by successive
stages-to share with the interna-
tional control organ information
about the production of atomic
energy and permit it to spread it's
control"
Distrust Charged to U. S.
The newspaper asks why the
United States, if it announces that
the production of atomic weapons
will be forbidden, wants to con-
tinue to make and store atomic
bombs?"
"On what basis does she pretend
to stretch her monopoly in the realm
Of production of atomic energy to
an indefinite period I" the article
continued.
'Why are all other countries OBJ
ligated to show blind trust toward
the intentions of the United States
at the same time that the United
States shows clear expressions of
aistrust not only toward her part
ners, but also toward the interna-
tional control organ?
Doesn't Washington understand
that the main source of distrust
toward the United States is the
noise raised over the forthcoming
tests of atomic bombs in the Pacific
0cean?"
These were some of the questions
Pravda raised in its argument as
'erting the superiority of the Soviet
plan over the American plan.
Pravda argued also that the pro-
1uction of atomic bombs in the
United States was not fully in Gov
hands, but that separate
stages of the production were
eased to private monopoly firms"
;uch as E. I. Du Pont de Nemours.
The Delaware chemical company,
oravda charged, was before the war
tied by thousands of threads to the
German chemical concern, I. c..
Farbenindustrie."
Writing about the veto power by
which either Russia, the United
States, the United Kingdom, France
Or China may block any proposal in
The United Nations Security Coun-
ell, Pravda said the proposed relax
alton of this principle Gas applied
TO atomic matters) was one of the
actual defects" of the American
