u. 5. Presses Accords British Atom Experts
On Balkan, Colonies Propose Mediation Of
Questions Before u. n. u. ). Soviet Disputes
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 26.-The Brit
ish Atomic Scientists Association
urged Europe's governments today
to mediate the differences between
Russia and the United States.
"The fact that America still has
a very considerable lead over Rus
sia in the methods Of production
of atom bombs and has larger
stocks of fashionable material can
act as only very cold comfort to
the Western European countries y
the association said in an edito-
rial of its monthly organ. Atomic
Scientists News.
These countries with their re-
latively high densities Of popula-
ton and strong needs of imported
foodstuffs and raw materials are
very vulnerable to attacks by
even small numbers of atom
bombs. This argument applies
with particular force to Great
Britain.
1T is therefore incumbent upon
the governments of these coun-
tries to make every conceivable
effort to mediate between America
and Russia"
The British Atomic Scientists
Association was founded In 1946
by q group of scientists including
Prof. M. L. E. Oliphant and others
who participated in the atomic
energy projects in Britain. the
United States or Canada.
The editorial said "only if the
present state of suspicion and
mutual recrimination (between
Russia and America) is replaced
by some workable degree of mu-
tual trust can there be hope of
peace in the world"

LAKE SUCCEOO, oCI. Lo.-
American diplomats took the lead
today in backstage negotiations
aimed at disposing of two of the
toughest political problems before
the United Nations.
The United States was reported
sponsoring talks on ending the
three-year Greek-Balkan con-
flicts. The United States, Argen-
tina, France and Ethiopia met in
secret, informal negotiations in
what was called a final effort at
the current U. N. Assembly to find
a workable solution for the future
of 1taly's prewar African colonies.
The Political Committee has
been stalled over the dispute be-
tween Greece and her Balkan
Communist neighbors by the acid
East-Wes fight over death SEN
tences for political prisoners in
Greece's civil war.
Colombia Makes Proposal.
Colombia tried to resolve the
dispute yesterday by proposing
that the U. N. ask all nations to
suspend death sentences indef1-
nitely in political cases such as
those reported almost daily from
Eastern European countries.
The Colombian plan came up
today, but concrete action on 1t
was doubtful. An informed West
ern source expressed the opinion
the proposal was too broad to be
of much use.
The American-sponsored talks
were said to be based on ten
tative draft resolution which
would continue the U. N. Special
Commission on the Balkans, blame
Albania for the recent failure Of
a special U. N. Cancellation Com
mittee to end the conflict, and
recommend that the Cancellation
group be prepared to resume It's
work if the situation looks prom
ising for peace in the Balkans.
The United States also was re-
ported considering a fourth point
to cover the question Of amnesty
for political prisoners of the Greek
war. No decision has been reached
yet but the final draft probably
was expected to take note Of an
indicated willingness of the Ath-
ems government to be lenient with
its war prisoners.
Atom Report Due Tomorrow.
The Big Five powers and Canada
will make public tomorrow a re-
port on their recent secret talks
on proposals for controlling atomic
energy.
Five of the six nations-the
United States. Britain, France,
China and Canada-plan a sepa-
rate report on their views for
simultaneous publication. Russia,
dissenter on majority approved
control plans, may issue a minority
opinion.
The six countries were asked by
the U. N. Assembly last year to
get together and see what might
be done about the atomic dead
lock.
The six-nation report was cir
culated among Assembly delega-
tions yesterday and distributed to
correspondents for Thursday noon
release. An officer in the U. N.
Secretariat's Press Bureau said
the publication time was decided
on so correspondents would have
time to Study the long report be-
fore writing about it.

By Joseph YOUNG

Evening star., 1949-10-26

Consequently, while these bu-
reaus legally are authorized to
give their employees more travel
money, they don't have enough
money on hand to do so. Some
agencies have allowed the higher
rates, but to do it they have had
to cut out some out-of- town trips.
OF course, those Government
departments and agencies that
Jared well in the matter Of their
1850 appropriations have none of
these difficulties. They have
enough money on hand to pay
their employees the new travel
rates.

he was the one primarily respon-

the more generous amounts he
succeeded in getting still were not
enough. He wanted Government

Stale Of Mississippi
Now History
June 26-27. l949
BY MRS. r. L. YOUNG

The Annual Convention of the Hol-
brook Benevolent Association has
just closed one of its most success
full sessions. An enthusiastic group
of presidents representing their vari-
Gus lodges were present to answer
the rol call. The same spirit of en-
thusiasm and devotion so noticeable
at the beginning, was evident
throughout the meeting.
The general officers and agents
reports were very important part
of the business of the Convention.
Anyone listening to these reports
could not help go away with salts
factory intelligence of the physical
financial and general status of the
Association. The General Secretary's
report went into all the phases Of the
business of the Association, inform
ing the members of the Convention
of all matters entrusted to her care.
An account of all monies collected
were accounted for in such d clear
concise way that wherever clouds of
doubt might have overShadowed the
mind, light of knowledge brightly
beamed Upon completion of her
report, wave of jubilent ovation
and Communications flooded the Gen
eral Secretary.
Prof. A. c. Drummonds, Secretary
of the Executive Board, the guiding
power of the Convention in it's alb
sence, reported the activities of the
Board for the past twelve months.
The General President and General
Secretary are members of the Ex-
ecutive Board. The Executive BOARD
is proving its worth and working its
way into the hearts and minds of the

Association, made interesting study
These agents serve in the capacity
of ministers to the leadership Of the
local lodges and their followers when
1t comes to instructions in the laws
rules and regulations governing the
Association. Their reports revealed
quite lot of activity and it is be
lieved that more local presidents will
avail themselves of their services.
The General President made an APP
peal for one thousand members by
the December Board. If inner at
titudes can be judged by facial ex-
pressions there was a note of glad
ness and spirit Of readiness to CO.
operate with the General President
for the realization OF his hope.
The grand old order is on the up
ward trend and it is hoped that love
and peace, which worketh good for
all men, will prevail in the hearts of
the leadership so that each can put
forth his best effort for the highest
achievement that such an organiza-
ton is capable of attaining. 1t has
been demonstrated that where there
