iThis does not mean that we are
pursuing military atomic research in
these centers," a ministry spokes-
man explained. However, every one
knows there is an atomic pile at
Harwell and the pursuit of any
atomic energy experiments leads to
the production of plutonium which
could eventually be put to mill
tary use"
The areas affected In the new
order included the Harwell labora-

u. n. Atomic Report
Not Expected 10 End
u. S.-Soyief Issues
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 1.-THE
second report Of the United Nations
Atomic Energy commission to the
United Nations Security Council
will deal principally with the organ
ization and function of . world
wide atomic control agency. ~,
1t will do little toward smoothing
over Russian-United States differ
ences. :.-.
These predictions came from au-
thoritative sources as the atomic
delegates began meeting regularly to
discuss that second report, which
must be handed in before the Gen.
eral Assembly meets in September.
The first report. given to the
Security Council last December 81,
was written at the insistence of
Bernard M. Baruch, who soon
afterward resigned as the American
member of the Atomic Commission.
The December report dealt prin-
cipally with safeguards under which
atomic control could be set up.
Soviet Russia and Poland refused
to 60 along with the 10 other men,
bers Of the commission in approving
it. They baked chiefly at provisions
for waving the veto on atomic pun
ishments.
The basic disagreements have not
changed in the intervening months.
There is no indication whether
Russia and Poland will sign the
second report once 1t Is completed,
but at least their representatives
are taking prominent parts In the
current discussions.
There is a good reason for this
Soviet interest. The two main COM
mittees Of the commission, the
Working Committee and the Politi-
cal Committee, both have Soviet
proposals on their agenda and the
Soviet delegation is anxious for the
delegates to consider them thor
oughly.
Fernand van Langenhove, Belgian
delegate to the Security Council
and. to the Atomic Commission, is
chairman of the commission this
month. Indications are that the
II: N. secretariat feels it is about
time for Mr.. van Iangehh6ve TO
start the commission work on the
second report.

retary Of the National Council for
Prevention of War. said in q state
ment there are signs the committee
wants to railroad" training bill
through Congress at this session.
His protest came after Chairman
Andrews announced that the whole
question Of universal training will
be turned over to q subcommittee
when the full group completes today
the hearings 1t began last month.
Short Demands More Testimony.
Mr.. Andrews refused 70 say
whether the subcommittee, headed
by Representative Towe, Republican,
Of New jersey. will. hold further
hearings or start drawing up q bill.
Representative Short, Republican Of
Missouri, who ranks next to Mr..
Andrews on the full committee,
said he will insist on more testi-
mony because "the opposition hasn't
had a full opportunity to present its

is recommended. ,..--,
