LONDON, Jan. 19.-The big
power" plan to place the pro-
posed atomic energy commits
sion directly under the United
Nations Security Council passed
its first test today without OPP
position.
The test came when Paul-Henri
Spaak. president of the General AS
sembly called up a committee re-
port providing that the atomic con-
troll proposal should go to the AS
sembly's Security Committee with
out discussion on the floor
Mr.. Spaak asked if any one wanted
to say anything, but not word was
spoken. He promptly declared the
report accepted.
The Security Committee of 1.-The
Assembly is headed by Dmitri Ma
nuilsky, chief Ukrainian delegate.
Senator Connally. Democrat, Of
Texas is the American member. A
committee meeting is expected to
be held Monday.
UNRRA Support Urged.
Prime Minister Peter Fraser Of
New Zealand yesterday commended
that the Atomic Commission should
be under the direction of the ST.
nation General Assembly instead of
the 11-nation Security Council, but
he did not oppose today's move.
Mr.. Spaak also sent to Commit
tee on Social, Humanitarian. and
Cultural Problems a British proposal
calling on the United Nations to
give their full support to UNRRA.
Meanwhile, the chief UNO interest
centered on the next move to be
made by Iran in line with her
announced intention to bring before
the security organization an appeal
for action in the Iranian-R Russian
dispute.
Nasrullah Entezam, an Iranian
delegate. said the appeal would be
filed before Monday" with Gladwyn
Jebb, executive secretary of the
UNO.
Mr.. Entezam indicated that Mr..
Jebb would be directed to take
the issue directly before the power
full Security Council, although the
possibility remained that the Iran
ians at the last moment would seek
instead floor debate in the
assembly.
Levant States Serve Notice.
Spokesman for Syria and Lebanon,
one-time French mandates which
claimed independence during the
war, served notice that they eX-
pected the organization to rid their
countries of foreign troops if other
means failed
Both France and Britain promised
last month to withdraw their forces
from the two Levant states, but it
was provided that France would
hold garrisons in Lebanan Ito guar
antee security until such time as
the United Nations Organization
has decided on the organization of
collective security in this zone"
British troops had interviewed after
fighting between native forces and
the French.
Faris Ell Khoury told the Assembly
Syria demanded "a complete and
early withdrawal" of the foreign
! troops. He added. however, that it
was not planned to pursue the mat
ter further just now, in the hope
the demand would be needed.
Speaking for Lebanon, Foreign
Minister Hamid Bey France said his
country hoped, by adhering to
United Nations principles, to safe
guard its own security and that this
cannot be accomplished as long as
foreign troops are stationed in the
country"
Veto Privilege AssaiIed.
New Zealand last night sharply
assailed the veto voting privilege in
the United Nations Security Council
shortly after Russia had warned
against any effort to cut down on
the authority of the principal powers
in the new Security League.
Mr.. Fraser told the Assembly that
the veto voting privilege in the Sc
curity Council was so bad that it
will not conceivably be used except
as a last desperate throw of one of
the large powers laboring under
sense of guilt
The Prime Minister'S criticism of
the veto was the most direct yet
made, but he said he would not fight
the issue at this time because the
urgent job now is to proceed fast
and as efficiently as possible" with
setting up the new peace agency.
The New zealander said use of the
veto would be such a shock to the
nations as to endanger the whole
structure of the United Nations Or
