The W ashington Merry Go Round

(Ed. NOte-WhiIe Drew Pear son is on a brief vacation, the Washington Merry -go-round is being written by several disting- uished guest columnists, today's being by Gordon Dean, chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com miSSiOn.)
 WASHINGTON. = The other day I received this letter from a lady who lives in town where I spent good share of my teen-age years
 My dear MT. Dean:
 T see by the inclosed clipping that the United States is planning new A-bomb tests, and that the purpose is to see whether they have been made more deadly. I take It that, as in the past, the big aim is to scare the daylights out of Rus sia. She will, of course, go at it with a will, and try to outdo us in this devilish weapons -mass-destfuc- ton armaments race. Nice busin- esS!
 T should think that the terrible and disgraceful result of our little experiment with the A-bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki woulo make men, who call themselves Christian, confine their experi- ments with atomic energy to the wonderful things that can be done with it to improve life and indus try-not destroy them.
 T remember your father here as a courageous and fine sermonizer MT. Dean. I think it is too bad for his son to concentrate on the murderous aspects of atomic en- ergy.'
 This was a disturbing letter to receive, not because the lady is right-because she isn't-but ra- ther because it shows that there

: in the Pacific. Though his speech was aimed at a homefront audi. ence of potential defense bono buyers, it had direct significance for the host of diplomats assembled here from over the world.
 Whether the negotiations In Korea are successful or not" he said, i've must continue to drive ahead to build defensive strength
 for our country and the free world.
 "The plain fact is that the Com munists may try to resume the offensive in Korea at any time Moreover, they are capable Of launching new attacks in Europe in the middle east or elsewhere in Asia-wherever it suits them"
 Permit Armament
 AS conceived by the American government, conclusion of the Jap anese peace treaty is a major task in the drive to build the free worlds defenses. While formally ending World War II and restor- ing Japan's independence, it would permit Japan to rearm and sign 2 projected Japanese-American agree ment to station United States for ces in Japan after the occupation.
 That is why these officials ex- pect Russia to put up a stiff fight against the pact.
 Secretary of State Acheson and his aides, in close coOpera- tion with British delegate Ken meth Younger and other key en- voys here, have worked out an elaborate battle strategy to meet a disruptive campaign by Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyk0.
 The heart of Secretary Ache sons strategy for dealing with Gromyko is to get the conference to adopt set of rules which would limit speech making by each del- egate to one hour and prevent any amendments to the treaty text drafted by the United States and Brifain.

100000 Reds MayLauneh
 New Offensive
Fighting Intense as Curl Notes Exehanged-Dim HoDes Sill Persist
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Sept. 4-tR-Truce ne- gotiators exchanged accusing, un- compromising notes today amid pre- dictions a 100000 man Red army may soon launch new offensive in the Korean war.
 Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's head quarters said the Communists have a total of 70 divisions available, backed by 1000 planes, plus tanks and artillery. It added:
 Large numbers of Caucasian Soviet puppet troops" have moved into North Korea.
 ---------F Fighting Intense
 Along the battle line fighting reached it's greatest intensity in four months. Reds were reported to have re-equipped and resupplied at feast 40 divisions, about 100000 men, on the front with 30 more in reserve since now disrupted truce talks started July 10.
 Chief truce negotiatOrs ex- changed six sharp notes today. Each accused the other of dis tortion. Neither proposed resum- ing armistice meetings which the Reds broke off two weeks ago.
 The notes between US. Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy and North Korean It. Gen. Nam Il dealt solely with three asserted violations of the Kae- song neutrality zone in Korea. They were Red accusations. 5. Joy denied them all. He said Nam Ills distortion" could mot trans form allegations into realities"
 Hope Still Exists
 Despite the bitterness of the notes, a source close to the United Nations command said hope still existed among truce negotiations that armis- tice talks would be resumed. r-r7 fEuweyer, the general vies was heavy with pessimism. Responsible quarters said efforts to get truce talks going again appeared to have deteriorated under welter of wasted words.
 Nam Il sent three lengthy notes telling Admiral Joy "your consistent method of distorting facts and flat denial' was not satisfactory an- swer to Red charges.
 Admiral Joys replies were sharp and curt. He again denied all three charges.
 In his three replies Joy told Nam II:
 Nothing in your many intemper ate statements" changes the already announced LIN denials.
 Mere volume of words does not transform allegations into realities"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4ZR- A few hours before the Japanese peace conference opening today, tn United States and Britain not flied all participating nations of rigid proposed rules by which they hope to prevent Russia from dis rupting the signing of a treaty.
 Intensive behind the scenes ne- gotiations already had convinced American leaders, including Presi- dent Truman, that they have the votes necessary to defeat any such Russian moves in a showdown.
 As anticipated, the proposed rules call for each of the 52 na- tional delegations to be limited to one hour of speaking each, with no further turn until all others have had a chance.
 The aim is to try to present the treaty for signing as near as pos sibfe to schedule on Saturday af- ternoon.
 There could be Soviet filibuster on the rules themselves, however, as they have to be adopted by the conference.
 MT. Truman flew in from Wash ington yesterday with new warning of possible Communist offensives in Korea, Asia or Eur ope. He will open the conference tonight with a major address. The address will be televised and broadcast nationally.
 The first working session will be held tomorrow morning. Russia s tactics are expected to be quickly disclosed at that time.
 Truman Warning
 The Presidents latest warning to the country to be on guard and continue massing it's defenses sounded grim note. It came on the eve of the gathering of 51 delegations at San Franciscos gilt-and-marble opera house to close the books on World War II
