Communist World Peace Conference Opens In Paris

PARIS, (P - A commu n t = sponsored world peace conference opened here today with a plea for the formation of peace commit tees throughout the world to carry out the congress plans.
 The French communist atomic scientist, Frederic Joliot-Curie, told the 1900 delegates from 52 nations:
 we will show the Warmongers that they have to reckon with us. We fight this fight with the cer- tainty of victory.
 Joliot-Curie said an atomic war would be terrible even for its ini- tiators" but that the atom bomb or other atomic weapons would not be the decisive factor in the fight ing. He is the head of Frances atomic energy commission.
 Unlike world peace conference held in New York last month, this one opened with no anti-commun- ist pickets outside the meeting place and no evidence of any spe. cial police precautions.
