Atomic Control First Step OF
U.N. In Disarmament PROGRAM

Lake Success, N. Y.-The u
nited States Tuesday called for
United Nations action on atomic
control as the first step in the
general arms reduction program
recommended by the General As
sembly.
The American proposal was laid
before the Security Council by
U. S. Delegate Herschel V. John
son in a surprise move, which
collided head-on with a Russian
demand for immediate action on
the whole arms question.
An immediate clash was avert
ed when the delegates agreed to
take up both proposals at the
next council meeting, probably
Monday or Tuesday, when it will
begin discussions on the assemb-
ly's resolution and any measures
to implement it.
Johnson opened yesterdays
two-hour session by proposing
that action be postponed on the
Soviet proposals, which had been
submitted to Secretary-General
Trygve Lie last Saturday and
were on the provisional agenda.

1947 was ushered in with sleet
and cold rain yesterday. With the
mercury at an uncomfortable low
level, ice-covered highways and
the sleet-covered wind shields

AS far as it could be learned
most school buses were sent on
return trips soon after their ar
rival, so that children could get
to their homes in safety. Schools
were closed for the day. with the
understanding that they would
be reopened today if the weather
and the condition of the high
ways made it advisable.
Parkway bus schedules were
also curtailed.
Most of the business houses
were open, but with little trade,
due to the weather and were busy
completing inventories.

But to millions of tax-Weary
consumers it held out hope OF
Tightening of their wartime tax
