UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Dec. 4.-President Eisenhower
atoms-for-peace plan comes ur
for a final vote in the Genera
Assembly today. Expectation!
were that the resolution woulc
receive unanimous approval.
As the Donation body gath
cred for the session, the United
States sought Assembly action
to win freedom for IL American
airmen jailed by Red China on
spy charges. The move had the
firm backing of Americas Is Ko-
rean allies.
The atomic resolution calls for
the establishment Of an inter-
national agency to sponsor the
peaceful use and sharing of
atomic energy. Both the United
States and Britain already have
offered to contribute fashionable
material to start an interna-
tional stockpile for peaceful pur-
poses.
Calls for Conference.
The proposal also calls for an
international technical confer
ence on peaceful atomic energy
uses to be held not later than
next August at a place still to
be decided. Organized under
U. N. auspices, this meeting
would be open to all nations in
the U. N. or its specialized
agencies.
Although introduced less than
a month ago, the resolution re-
fleets a proposal President Eisen-
hover put before the Assembly
last December 8. It notes "the
urgency of international CO.
operation in expanding the
peaceful uses Of atomic energy to
assist in lifting the burdens OF
hunger, poverty and disease"
1t was introduced by seven
powers with atomic piles or fis-
sion raw materials. They are
Australia, Belgium, Canada
France, South Africa and the
United States. These powers also
have been negotiating with
Portugal, not a member of the
U. NJ. toward setting up the in
ternational agency.
Announcement that the AS
sembly would be asked to con-
slider the case of the II Ameri-
cans jailed in Red China was
made last night by Chief United
States Delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge, jr. He said the 16
Korean allies had agreed to
bring the issue up at the earliest
possible date.
Dulles and Lodge Confer.
Mr.. Lodge talked with repre-
sentatives of the 16 nations
shortly after a secret consula-
ton with Secretary of State
Dulles, who few up from Wash
ington.
One allied diplomat said, to
save time, the case might go
directly to the Assembly with
out clearing through usual COM
mittee channels. Other in
formants said, however, they
expected the 16 nations to join
tomorrow or Monday in a re-
quest that the case be made a
new item on the Assembly
agenda.
After last nights meeting of
the 16-second in two days-Mr.
Lodge told newsmen there Is
marvellous and inspiring unanim-
ity on the vital need to get re-
lease OF the IL American men
and of all others who fought as
members of the U. N. command
and are detained in violation Of
the Korean armistice agree
ment."
Shortly before Mr.. Lodge made
his announcement, the British
Foreign Office disclosed that the
Churchill government had lined
up with the United States in eff
forts to free the men.
A Foreign Office spokesman
said Britain agrees with the
United States that action in the
U. N. on this problem is desir-
able and the government is in
consultation as to what form
this action should take"
Mr.. Dulles repeatedly con-
tacted Britain's chief U. N. dele

after his arrival.
