New American Ideas
On Atomic Controls
Under Preparation
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 15.-The
United States is shaping up a
series of new ideas on organizing
international control of atomic
energy but is holding fast to the
fundamentals laid down in the
original Baruch plan, an authorita-
tive source has disclosed.
At this stage, the new plans and
papers TO be produced by the
American delegation to the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission
have not reached their final stage,
it was said. But enough work has
been done to indicate that the
United States will make complete
presentation OF its ideas when the
atomic commission settles down to
work again in the new year.
Authority Is Next Topic.
The commission will deal next
with The organization of an inter-
national atomic control authority.
Francois de Rose, of the French
delegation, said that the commits
sion likely would meet this week
and determine how its work would
be laid out. He indicated. however,
that the commission will not COM
mence real work until after the holi-
days.
Mr.. de Rose handles atomic de-
tails for Alexandra Parodi. chief of
the French delegation to the United
Nations. Parodi is chairman of the
commission this month.
The commission has not met since
it approved its second report to the
Security Council last September,
just before the Assembly convened.
1t dealt with the functions of con-
troll. Russia voted alone against
that report. Poland abstained.
On June IA. 1916, Bernard M.
Baruch. the first American delegate
on the atomic commission, proposed
that the U. N. set up an atomic
development authority with COM
plete power over atomic energy. He
also said this country would give
up its atomic secrets in stages as
adequate safeguards could be estab-
lished and would discontinue max
ing atomic bombs once the plan was
working.
Soviet Demands Unchanged.
Andrea A. Gromyko, Soviet dele
gate, came back with a plan for an
immediate pact outlawing atomic
bombs and another pact setting up
controls, to be negotiated later.
Those fundamental demands have
not changed and the two big powers
have moved farther apart on the
question of atomic energy in the
succeeding months. Frederick H.
Osborn took up the United States
atomic work where Mr.. Baruch laid
it down.
The first two points the commits
sion is expected to consider are:
Cd Organizational structure of the
proposal international control
agency, and ca its relations to
other organs of the United Nations,
to other international agencies, and
to individual nations and their
national agencies.
No Word On New Proposals.
There has been no word from the
Soviet delegation on whether it will
present new proposals. The dele
gates have not yet discussed to Mr..
Gromyko's satisfaction a plan for
an international control commits
sion laid down by the Soviet Union
last Spring as a substitute for the
American plan. Mr.. Gromyko has
