U. 5. Ready 10 Confer
Informally on Atom
Pool, Soviet Is Told
Bohlen Sees MoIotov
To Determine Procedure
In Setting Up Tolks
By John N. Hiehtower
Assoeioisd Pres. Stuff Wfis.y :

Assoelofeo FFeS8 Sfofr WfifoP Y
The United States has advised
Russia that it is prepared
promptly to enter into private,
informal talks on the interna-
tional uses of atomic energy II
the Soviet government desires.
Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen.
according to diplomatic inform
ants. called on Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov within the last
three days to determine how
Russia wishes to proceed in view
Of its agreement December 81 to
enter into atomic talks. Such
discussions were strongly advo-
Gated by President Eisenhower in
his December 8 speech to the
United Nations.
The next move is now Russia S
Mr.. Molotov's response to Mr..
Bohlen's approach probably will
determine when, and how,
further discussions will be held
between the worlds two greatest
powers on international handling
of the worlds most destructive
force.
Dulles Pressing Plan.
Mr.. Bohlen was reported to
have called on Mr.. Molotov on
instructions from Secretary of
State Dulles. The latter was de-
scribed as doing everything he
can to press forward the Eisen-
hover plan for an international
pool of atomic energy materials.
Under the plan. the United
States, Russia and other nations
would contribute to the pool as
a means of promoting the peace
full employment of atomic power.
Several possible lines of con-
tact are open to Moscow and
Washington for further explo-
ration of the subject and all of
these may eventually be used.
Mr.. Dulles is planning to dis
cuSs the atomic problem with
Mr.. Molotov when they go to
Berlin later this month for a
meeting with British Foreign
Secretary Eden and whoever is
then foreign minister of France.
Direct Talks Possible.
Meanwhile, some plans have
been made for having the United
Nations Disarmament Commis-
sion take steps to set up a SUBJ
committee on atomic power to
hold closed talks on the interna-
tional atomic problems. These
discussions would include Gen.
Eisenhower's suggested new ap-
proach and Russia's counter
proposal. The United States has
the Craftsmanship of commission
this month.
The third, and probably irnmi-
nent means of exploration is di-
rect discussion between Ameri-
can and Soviet representatives.
Mr.. Bohlen pointed out that
possibility in his talk with Mr.,
Molotov. it was said here, but
precisely how the talks might be
arranged and what representa-
tives would participate appar-
emily depends on the Soviet re-
action.
Secretary Of State Dulles told
news conference Tuesday that
he had expected to take up the
international atomic problem
with Mr.. Molotov when the four
foreign ministers were due to
meet in Berlin next Monday.
But when Russia delayed that
session for three weeks. Mr..
Dulles said it became necessary
to consider alternative ways of
taking UP the problem.

DC. Works Plan Faces Fiqht
z Bills Involved
AS District Pushes
Fiscal Program

The beginning OF 1854 and the
reconvening Of Congress mark
the start of one Of the most i'm
portant years in the Districts
history.
Not only must the city lay its
regular budget requests for the
coming fiscal year between the
hammer and anvil of the legis-
lators. 1t also will submit q
$306 million 10-year public works
construction program for the
same hazardous legislative con-
Sideration.
More than a year ago. local
government officials realized that
the costs Iof operating the Ma
tion's Capital were gradually out
stripping the city's existing rev.
enues. The city's physical plant.
moreover. was deteriorating with
insufficient funds in sight to
finance needed repairs and re-
placement.
Citizens Aided Plan.
The Commissioners. with the
aid Of some of the city's most
influential citizens, devised a
remedy. 1t took the shape of a
long term multi-million dollar
public works improvement pro-
gram. setting forth a year-by-
year construction schedule and a
special means Of financing the
whole works.
As designed originally, the
works program was integrated
with the budget for the fiscal
year 1855 which begins next
July /. That is to say, the 1856
portion Of the works construc-
ton program was to have been
incorporated into the 1855
budget, which otherwise would
have no provision for new con-
struction other than that of the
water system and highways.
Chairman Taber Of the House
Appropriations Committee de-
creed. however. that the District
budget and the works program
would have to be considered sep
arately for legislative purposes.
Two Bills Needed.
So now the District must push
two separate fiscal measures
through the complicated maze
Of congressional procedure and
Justify the provisions of each to
the satisfaction OF the legis-
latorS.
In briefest form, here are the
bills:
The 1855 Budget-Law forbids
divulgence of figures prior to
their release by the White House
But by a process of elimination,
it can be concluded that the
budget figure as it goes to Con-
gress will be pretty close to the
present years $50 million.
District government depart
ment heads forwarded requests
totaling about $182 million for
the fiscal year. That the Com
miSsioners would cut this figure
back severely was O foregone
conclusion. How substantial was
the cutback? In the first place
the Commissioners habitually
slash their department chiefs
figures by from 10 to 20 per cent
And this year. it is a generally
realized fact that the adequate
and in some cases Unexpectedly
high. revenues Of past recent
years have begun to taper of
Fiscal 1855 revenues repeatedly
will be such that the city will
actually have about 81 million
less than the present fiscal 1854
to meet operational costs alone
This means that while the
water funds and the highway
