The only other bid came from the Enmons Truck ing Company, which asked for $3,l00.
 Two bids were received for con- version of a classroom at Crosby High School for an administration office, but the Board rejected them because the funds necessary were not available. Partitioning and in- cidental work will be required for the proposed undertaking.
 The T. c. Smith Company asked for a total of $9,490, while the T. F. Moran & Sons Company as ked for S9,730. The Board had planned to convert the room for use by the school psychologist and several of the supervisors.

Senator Urges Atom Low Court
(sneclal to The .DeTnocratl

Hartford, Nov. { = The creation of a court of law governing use and misuse of Atomic Energy, with vio- lators to be hailed into the World Court was advocated by U. s. Sem ator Brien McMahon, (D, Conn.), Chairman of the Joint COngree- sional Committee on Atomic En- ergy, here last night. Senator Mc- Mahon addressed Q meeting on Atomic Energy held under the aus pices of the Hartford Medical So- ciety at Bushnell Memorial Audi torium.
 Depreciating the dispute over the veto which has resulted in Q stale mate in the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, Senator Mo Mahon urged boldness of vision to break the deadlock 50 that the promise of great prosperity in- herent in the discovery of nuclear fission be realized.
 If a condition of peace is to exist in the world, we must establish in international politics the reign of jurisprudence, the rule of law" Senator McMahon declared. This is especially true in the field of Atomic Energy. because here we deal with the fundamental secrets of nature.
 Tt seems to me that perhaps we have lost our sense of perspective in seeking to work out the problem of the control of Atomic Energy on an international basis. We have not properly evaluated the institutions created under the United Nations Charter in seeking the solution to this great problem.
 "All the emphasis up to the pres- ent moment has been in having the question of control handled by the Security Council, which in effect is to be the Police Agency Of the Court.
 We take great pride in the legal institutions which have been oe- veloped by our Western civilization, Foremost among these is, of course our courts of Law, the means by which disputes are resolved amic- ably. We do not attempt to have our policemen rule on questions of law. Their function is solely to keep the peace according to deci- sions handed down by our courts.
 This should be true on an inter. national basis as well The United Nations Atomic Energy Commission should devote itself to the evolving of a court of Law which will deal with all phases of the Atomic En-. ergy question, on the proper use oi this tremendous force as well as tne possible misuse of it.
 Thereafter, the World Court' where no veto should be possinle would be given jurisdiction over the violations of this Court The deci. sions of the World Court should then be carried out by the Security Council.
 .sThis," Senator McMahon de- clared, would stimulate a feeling desperately needed in the world to- day-a feeling of reliance upon tne moral foundation of Law and oroei as the means of achieving a true peace. IA .
 While his suggestion would re- solve only the question of the veto which he views as a subsidiary one Senator McAahi3n said, it wouie encourage the hope that the al important problem of control ol Atomic Energy could be solved too
