If Russia's final answer to proposals
for cooperation on atomic energy
control were a fat mo-" the state
ment issued two weeks ago by Andre
"A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy foreign
minister, before the United Nations
Security Council would not have
been so detailed or so carefully pre-
pared, Joseph H. Rush, secretary
treasurer of the Federation of
Scientists, declared yesterday.
Speaking before luncheon meet
ing Of the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club, Mr.. Rush said he
thought Mr.. Gromyko's lengthy
statement before the United Ma
tions Security Council indicated the
Russians ARE still horse trading" F"
He pointed out that the Soviet dep
uty foreign minister did not oppose
reopening Of negotiations and even
voted that the issue be returned to
the Atomic Energy Commission.
Mr.. Rush preceded his remarks
with the observation that Mr..
Gromyko's statement seemed ION
the surface" to reject the essentials
of the United States proposals, but
later added that before any one
assumes the Russians are unreason-
able, they should study Russia's
position.
Referring to the no-veto plan laid
before the Commission last June by
Bernard M. Baruch, Mr.. Rush
pointed out that Mr.. Baruch, in
approaching the problem from "the
higher legalistic level" did not put
the emphasis on the right thing"
and by doing so never got down to
how the authority should be con-
stituted or how it should operate
Full Control Desired.
As the plan now stands, the
United States wants an atomic de-
velopment authority with full pow
ers Of inspection and control Of
atomic matters everywhere.
Mr.. Rush said he thought the
Russian statement indicated at least
that "the door is still open" to
negotiations. We must also take
into account the French and British
attitude toward the plan, which
doesn't favor some aspects of it," he
said, and "avoid the idea that we
have the perfect plan"
Earlier In his talk, Mr.. Rush de-
clared that "one of the greatest
tragedies of all time is that atomic
energy should have been brought to
use during a war and as weapon"
AS an example of the attitude of
those working with 1t, Mr.. Rush,
who was ore of the scientists OH
the Oak Ridge project. said that
on the day that the information
on the atomic bomb was first re-
leased, the workers who had ex-
pected a day off after four years
of hard work read his terse bulle-
tin: mo day off. We have OBJ
tanned our objective-to win the
war; now we must work to make
the peace secure"
Secrecy Caused Confusion.
The secrecy surrounding the max
