Six Nations 10 Begin
Secret Talks Aug. 9
By the Assoeiofsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 30.-The
United Nations Atomic Energy
Commission yesterday gave up a
three-year struggle to agree on
international atomic control. 1t
put the deadlock squarely up to
the Big Five powers and Canada,
who are beginning top secret talks
August 8.
The commission voted, 8 to 2.
to stop work until the six countries
can find some basis for agreement.
But the delegates themselves say
there is at present no sign OF a
break in the East-West impasse.
The Soviet Union and the So
Wet Ukraine voted against the
majority. Their delegates de-
manded to know why the majority
wanted to kill" the commission
stop its work. ''lock the door and
throw away the key"
DR.. H. r. Wei. Chinese scientist
and commission chairman for
July. responded:
Time is running out. The
atomics ornaments race is on. 1t
Is the duty of this commission TO
tell the world that the work can
not be done now"
He then informed the commits
sion that his government had
started the wheels rolling for the
six-country consultations.
Il hope the permanent men,
bers of the commission (the six
countries involved in the consul
tations, the United States. France,
Britain, China, Russia and Can
ada.) Will give away their pride
and prejudice and work for agree
ment," he said.
Soon after DR.. Wei's declara-
ton, the commission approved a
resolution put before it July 20 by
Frederick H. Osborn. American
deputy on the commission. The
key section Of the resolution, ap-
proved by a 9-to-2 vote, said:
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion concludes that the impasse
as analyZed in the third report OF
the Atomic Energy Commission
(made last year to the U. N. AS
sembly in Paris) still exists; that
these differences are irreconcilable
at the commission level and that
further discussion in the Atomic
Energy Commission would tend to
harden these differences and
would serve no practicable or use
full purpose until such time as the
sponsoring powers have reported
that there exists basis for agree
ment,"

reported in the last two days.
The heat caused the third snarl
in a week on New York's subway
system.
A short circuit, apparently
caused by high temperature, cut
of signal lights of the East Side
underground lines, and trains
crawled to q halt.
The electric failure also halted
trains on the Third avenue ele-

some subway extensions In the
Bronx and between Manhattan
and Brooklyn.
Passengers Flee Stations.
Thousands Of passengers piled
out of the stranded trains and fed
from the hot underground sta
tions for exits. Service was re-
stored after 80 minutes.
The current 13-day hot spell In
the Philadelphia area has indi-
rectly caused the deaths Of 81
persons, the highest total for any

Mr.. Attlee described the Tory
policy statement as elaborate
window dressing"
Against these promises we set
the solid achievement of four
years Of Labor Government" he
said. I'VE do not tell you that
the future is easy. On the con-
trary, we have told you frankly
that there are difficult times
ahead. We shall need a continued
effort to win through.
We cannot afford to have
strikes which lose this country
great sums Of money. We must all
take to heart the truth that gen.
eral increases in wages without
increases in production will mere
ly lead to imitation and will not
help the workers"
Quotes MorKenthau.
Mr.. Attlee said the wartime CO.
alition government headed by the
Conservative leader was fully
aware Of the difficulties which
would face its peacetime sue
cessor.
He quoted an article by Henry
Morgenthau, former American
Secretary Of the Treasury. which
told of a talk with Mr.. Churchill
during the war.
"'He was extremely pessi-
mistic." Mr.. Attlee quoted the ar
ticle.
1.-The day the war ended the
country would be bankrupt and
the returning soldiers would have
little to some back to-"
Then Mr.. Attless quoted from
remarks he said were made In
l943 by Lord Woolton, now chair
man of the Conservative Party:
"'To prosecute this war we have
sold or pledged much Of our over
seas investments. Our wealth has
been absorbed, our ships have
been sunk, our towns have been
burned. For some years to come
we shall be q nation poor in ma

Mr.. Attlee next took up Mr..
Churchill's criticism Of the La
borites for borrowing dollars from
the United States and Canada
while simultaneously handing out
money to aid other nations. Mr..
Attlee commented:
I'VE did give aid to other coun-
tries to the tune of 5000, ,000, 900
($3, 500, ,000. .00O.
Mr.. Attlee denounced as mean

settlement was held up. Mr..
Thomas said more than half Of
the workers were willing to ac-

The former employees became
impatient. They contended that
since no proper notice Of dis
missal was given, the Navy was
obligated to continue its payroll.
They demanded two weeks addi-

Pay Disputes Common.
The demonstration began yes

the building. Since small dem
onstrations have been common

felt until the numbers grew and
leaders announced the three con-
sulate members could not leave
the building.
Such retroactive pay disputes
are by no means confined to for

since the Communists came into
Shanghai.

Workers moved against employers
with various demands. some OF
them dating back months and
even years.
The question whether organiza-
tions have the right to close down
and dismiss their help has been
injected. Separation pay demands
got so high in some cases that
some employers found it cheaper
to close their factories-but con-
tinue payrolls, hoping for relief In
the immediate future.
Recently one large foreign firm
