Hope for Atom Treaty
Before u. n. Session
In Fall Virtually Gone
By she Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June 23.-The
United Nations virtually abandoned
all hope today of writing an inter-
national atomic control treaty be-
fore the General Assembly meets in
September.
With Russia and the western
powers deadlocked on major issues
delegates were agreed that 1t would
be practically impossible to COM
plete the atomic treaty within the
next three months.
This view was expressed as the
q. N. Atomic Energy Commission's
Working Committee renewed it's
efforts to resolve the differences
between Russia and the United
States on the use of the veto In
atomic matters.
Debate Seen in September.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Gromyko told the committee last
week that Russia would never agree
to any atomic control plan in which
the big powers had no authority to
veto the punishment of violators.
The United States is insisting that
the veto must not be used to prevent
countries or individuals from escap-
ing punishment for atomic crimes.
This apparently unbreakable stale
mate was regarded by delegates as
ruling out a completed atomic treaty
any time within the near future.
British and American sources said
they expected the whole atomic
question to come before the General
Assembly in September for a full
dress debate.
Influence on Russia Possible.
They considered 1t unlikely that
the Assembly would rap the knuckles
of the big powers for failure to make
any concrete progress toward out
lawing the atomic bomb and setting
up safeguards against its use.
Some delegates said they felt a
discussion of the atomic issue in the
Assembly might have good effect on
Russia and cause her to make con-
cessions which she now refuses.
Although completion of an atomic
treaty by September was believed
impossible, American and British
sources said the majority in the
Atomic Energy Commission which
backs the United States plan for
atomic control was going ahead
laying down specific steps for har-
Messing the atom for peaceful
purposes.
They were confident that between
now and the Assembly meeting
quite d bit of work can be accom-
plished on atomic plans.
A tremendous job is yet to be
done, they said, in spelling out
what the atomic safeguards will be,
definition of the legal powers of
the international atomic control
agency and deciding where atomic
energy plants will be located.

A TW0.TERM AMENDMENT

BY sponsoring, and adopting, a resolu-
tion providing for a Constitutional amend
ment 10 limit presidents TO two four-Year
terms, the Republican majority in the
House, with some democratic help, moved
a step forward in the creditable effort TO
prevent another dynasty at the White
House such as President Roosevelt es-
iablished.
The movement, Of course, is far from
finished. The resolution must go TO the
Senate and if approved there by a two
thirds vote, must still win approval in
t~hree-fourths Of the states. Constitutional
amendments involve moi only considerable
time but a tremendous amount Of spade
work.
The Star has long believed that a single
six-year Term preferable 10 two four-Year
terms, on the score that the winner. know
inq in advance that the period Of his ser
vice was strictly limited would devote
his entire time and attention to matters

possible that under these circumstances

quentlY had in the White House.
On the other hand, a president with
two terms 10 look forward 10 if he plays
his hand for such political advantage as
he may gain, would give his attention
largely TO preparing the way for r%e-elec-
lion during his first term, and seriously
settle down TO the greater tasks Of ma
tional guidance and administration only
when he was sure Of four more years
as tenant at 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The six-Year term proposal in the House
was blocked without a record vote, and so
if the republican resolution finally wins
out, the country will have only a second
best amendment. Even so, it will be BET
ter than no amendment. AT least it will
have the backing Of a cherished tradi-
lion established by Washington.

Cap0ne And Publicity

Some of our readers think The
Tribune paid too much attention TO
the death of Al Capone. They think
we could better have devoted the
space to decent men and noble pro-
jects.
1t is the business of newspapers
to hold up the mirror to the world
il which they are published, and
it is often not a pretty world
Capone was for a time virtually the
mayor of Chicago. Until Governor
Green, then a young federal prose
cutor, sent him to prison. Capone
made and unmade the politicians
of this city and had a high proper
ton of them On his payroll. His
death, thus was a matter of interest
to Chicagoans.
1t should have been a reminder
to them also that Chicago has
never completely thrown off the
evil spell that Capone and pro-
hibition threw over it. Capone's
associates are still doing business
in this city. They are the viiest OF
humankind.
They are bold and ruthless. They
participate openly in politics, sell
ing their support to whichever
party will guarantee them protec'
ton for their rackets. They mur-
der and p1under. and thew bride

privilege. They are the source o.

FOR A READING HEAD-sTART

When to start youngsters to school and
when to start them reading is something of
a controversy in American education circles
but almost no one doubts that American
students seem to be losing their ability to
read, write and spell well, and a majority
Of educators have testified officially to it.
With this in mind, consider the observations
of Gwendoline Fades from Britain, who is
teaching in Kansas for a year, as one Of
the 148 U. S. and British teachers who have
snapped places, to promote better under
standing between the two countries. She
notices that American children are consider
ably behind those of Britain, especially in
reading. Reason: London's children star
school at three. and begin reading at five
which means they have a one to two years
head start on our youngsters.
The tradition of starting the first grade a
six years is a convenient one from the ad
mlnistrative standpoint, and perhaps from
others. But whether it is the best for pro
ducing weH-trained students may be open y

cities in an unprovoked and indefensible

it that has not previously beer

Angle, director of the Chicago

deeply from the we'll OF Lincoln
knowledge. He has gone into the

Angle makes no claim to having
chosen the "best' of the authors
represented. He says merely that
he picked from each author Just
what seemed to fit best at a
given point" in the book. His sense
of fitness was well-nigh unerrlng;
the tone Of the writing always is
in key. Thus the rolling majesty
of Carl Sandberg's prose, the
searching intimacy of Herrdon,
the informality of Nicolay and
Hay all are here, each speaking
of the phase of Lincoln's life which
they best are qualified to describe.
Mingled with the better : known
writer's are the works of many

public view, passages from mem

and, notably, the photographed
writings of Lincoln himself.
1t might be thought that such a
project would result inevitably in
a partisan or a distorted work.
Angle adroitly has avoided any
such pitfall. Where later infor-
nation and research has d%iscredit-

he adds a modern analysis which
inevitably leads the reader to un-
