.oIotov Diso9rees On Chair
 Britain Reverses
 Stond on Rules;
 Action Attacked

Paris, Aug. 2-(UP)-Soviet For eign Minister V. M. Molotov chal- lenged the right of other members of the Big 4" today to change their minds of the rules of procedure sub- mitted to the peace conference by the Council of Foreign Ministers.
 Molotov launched his attack in the midst of a fight by the small powers to make French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault the per- manent chairman of the Big 4" as the foreign ministers proposed.
 He attacked a British reference which called the Big 4 rules "sug- gestionS."
 Compromise Attacked
 The reference had been made by Under-Secretary Of State for For eign Affairs Hector McNeil.
 McNei1 offered a compromise un- der which Bidault would be named chairman and Chinese Foreign Min ster Wang Shih-Chieh be named vice-chairman.
 Molotov attacked McNeil for de- serting the rules which the Big 4 had submitted. He said he could not understand how Britain could vote for rotating chairmanShip in the Council of Foreign Ministers and then propose to abandon that rule at the procedure commission.
 The Soviet Foreign Minister ap- pealed for unanimity on the chair issue France then express ed the view that it would be most regrettable if the decision on the chairmanship was reached by any, thing except an unanimous vote and urged the small nations to end their light and accept the ''big 4 formu- la.
 No Decision Reached
 Herbert Evatt, Australian Foreign Minister and leader of the small na- ton bloc, charged that the Big 4" had shown disrespect for the con- ference by limiting the chairman ship to themselves.
 When we come to the treaty with Japan, he said, such procedure will be deeply resented
 The commission session finally adjourned without reaching a de- cision on the chairmanship.
 Molotov'S contentious was direct y opposed to that of Secretary of States James F. Byrnes who con- tends the conference can make it's own rules and that he is not bound to support the Big 4" rules.
 The French strongly implied that Bldault did not desire to take the chalrmanship unless the conference was united in his support.
 An overnight search for a com promise formula was expected to enSue.

Atom Plans 

London Aug. 2-CUP)-Minister Of State Philip J. Noel Baker told the House of Commons today that Britain approved both the Russian and American plans for control of atomic energy and believes the two plans should be integrateG.
 Noel Baker said that the Ameri- can plan which would place under international ownership and control all raw material which could be used for atomic energy was "of tre- mendous scope and importance"
 Tt is a tremendous proposal" he said, Tt is revolutionary. There has been nothing like it in inter- national affairs before and let us not by the slightest infection of our voices detract from the importance of the decisions which the United States government came to when they put this plan forward"
 He said that the Soviet plan pro- posing that the manufacture and use of atomic energy for warlike purposes should be outlawed "does not conflict with the American plan.
 They must be integrated, he said.

ton to a free, united and peaceful
world. The conference recognizes
that its prime responsibility in con-
tinuing to advance this program
is an unfiagging effort to gain
greater security and democracy in
the South.
The Southern Conference is in
reality the youngest Of the more
progressive organizations in the
South. 1t embraces within its mem
bership some of the leading South
erners alive today.
Its superiority over other or
CARNATIONS lies in the fact that
it believes that the only way to
face problem is to face 1t. It,
therefore, does not try to put new
wine in old bottles. 1t does not try
to kid itself or any one else that
working within the old Southern
framework, progress can be made.
It knows that the South's problem
is economic and it therefore moves
out to solve that problem for all
the people of the South-not just
some of the people of the South.
If there is such thing as a new
South-this is it.

airy and bigoted members Of the

it's own, but the nations progress.
Once again the Khan is on the
march. 1t is making a new, con-
certed drive to confuse and d.
vide the people in the South

so that they may be more easily

The rank and file of the South

That the growth of Southern in

free to compete with the rest OF
American industry on an equal
basis. is indispensable to an i'm

the people of the South;
That organization Of the work
ers of the South into strong
rightly led unions will stimulate

chasing power, increased trade

That the Federal government
has an equal responsibility TO all

should be deprived of an OppOr-
tunity to work, be educated. or
vote merely because Of state
lines;
Therefore, the safeguards of The
fourteenth and fifteenth amend

That the great majority Of PEG
