Lake Success, N. T., Decl 20-CUP)-Russia sought sn- other weeks delay in a show down on the United States Atomic Energy Control Plan today in the face of apparent American determination to force a vote now in the United Nations Atomic Energy Com mission.
 Andrei A. Grognyko, Rus ria's delegate on the l2-natioH body, won a four-day postponement of the issue on Tuesday when ne pleaded for more time to study the United States Proposals-prUposalS which this country wants eccepeeo as the unalterable basis ce world machinery for controlling and oe~ veloping atomic energy.
 Gromyko said additional study and consideration of the American de- mand was an absolute necessity in view Of the importance Of the atomic problem.

 Gen. Andrew c. l.. McNaugton W Canada moved to send the ArneTi~ cancan proposals to committee for some working over which might whip them into shape acceptable to Russia without changing the pran- ciples insisted on by the United States. He emphasized that Cam ada agreed with ''the principles" Of the American plan. but felt they needed some tailoring.
 The new Russian move for post ponement of six or seven days" was bolstered by sudden decision by Great Britain to oppose the United States move for a vote now on the American proposals.
 An authoritative British source said the switch in British poaicy in the commission was based a Q fear that great catastrophe might result from forcing the issue now" and demanding an immediate So- viet verdict on the full American plan.

 The source emphasized that Britain still subscribed to the prin- ciple of the American atomic pro- posals.
 Britain thus joined some other members of the commission who hoped to put down the demand CT Bernard M. Baruch, chief Amera- can delegate. for an immediate. sweeping vote on his atomic con- trol proposals in their entirety.
 Gromyko renidned the conzzxas- sion he had said on Tuesday that four days would not be enough time to consider whether Russia was prepared to accept the full American plan now as the sole working basis for the next phase of the atomic negotiations. That phase would be the actual drafting Of a treaty in the Security Council under which nations would entrust atomic en- ergy to an international authority equipped with broad powers of tn- spection and punishment.
