Tass Sees President
Using Atomic Pool
To Deceive World
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Sept. 9.-The So
Wet news agency Tass declared
yesterday President Eisenhow-
er's announcement of an inter-
national atomic pool without
Russian participation was a
move to lead astray the worlds
vigilance" and to detract from
Soviet achievements in peaceful
atomic uses.
The agency's statement, ap-
proved by high Soviet authors
ties, said the United States Pres
ident's speech last Monday on
the occasion of laying the COR
nerstone of the first American
atomic energy power station was
of "a propaganda nautre."
It commented that the Soviet
Union was proud of having such
a station of 5000 kilowatts al
ready in operation. The Rus
slams announced the opening of
that station June 80 and said
engineers already are at work
on new stations which eventu-

Top-LeveI Talks Held ]
By U. 5. and Canada
On Eased Atom Curb
By John N. Hightower
Assoeiaisd Press Staff Writer

Top-level United States and
Canadian atomic energy officials
meet here today to seek ways
of increasing their cooperation
under relaxed rules or atomic
secrecy laid down by Congress.
The talks are being held by
Lewis L. Strauss. chairman Of
the United States Atomic Energy
Commission, and William J.
Bennett. president of Canada's
atomic energy agency.
The law approved last month
by Congress enlarged President
Eisenhower's authority to assist
countries to build UP atomic in
dustries if they cooperate with
the United States in atomic en-
ergy matters. It also provided
the President with authority to
transfer to Americas North At
lantic allies hitherto secret in
formation about the effect Of
atomic weapons and data on
their size, weight and shape.
Announced by President.
Gen. Eisenhower announced
at Denver on Monday that the
Canadian talks would be held
today. His statement was con-
cerned primarily with disclosing
that the United States and sew
eral other countries had agreed
to set up an international agency
to promote peaceful uses Of the
atom. This gave rise to an i'm
preston that Mr.. Strauss meet
ing with Mr.. Bennett would be
concerned with that project.
However, both American and
Canadian officials said that was
not the case.
In fact. a cloud of secrecy has
fallen over the international pro-
gram aside from the general
ideas which the President an
nounced. Inquiring reporters
have been told only that Secre-
tary of State Dulles will make
the next major statement on 1t
when he speaks to the United
Nations General Assembly in
about two weeks.
From diplomatic sources it was
learned that a great deal of work
still remains to be done. Some
informants said it would hardly
| be accurate to say that specific
plan or program of action has
yet been brought into existence.

ally would produce $4,000 to
100. 900 kilowattS.
Tass said the American plan
to use surplus atomic materials
in an international pool for
peaceful uses ignored the fact a
majority of such materials still
would be left to make bombs.
This is a repetition of the So
Wet objections to the original
world atomic pool proposal Pres
ldent Eisenhower made last De-
cember 8 before the United Ma
tons General Assembly.
lass said Gen. Eisenhower's
Monday statement, announcing
the agreement with a number of
nations to go ahead with the
| formation of an international
atomic agency-without Russia
was new dodge to avoid UNI
conditional prohibition of atomic
and hydrogen weapons.
1t added the United States
President was trying to lead
astray the worlds vigilance, in
reality strengthening an en-
forced ornaments race and pre-
paratlon for an atomic war;.
