Allies' Edict
Russia's Insistence On
Return To Four-Power
Control Gets Flat 'No'
PARIS, May 26. t The
three Western Powers Wednes
day demanded the political uni
fication of Germany as a condi
tion for German economic unity,
French sources reported.
The American, British and
French foreign ministers took this
position in replying to Soviet For
eign Minister Vishinsky, who
Tuesday insisted upon reestab
lishment of the Four-Power Al
lied Control Council for Germany.
The Council has not functioned
since the Russians walked out of
it almost a year ago. The West
ern ministers contend the Coun
cil had been greatly hampered by
Soviet vetoes.
Why not make one more at
tempt to reestablish the Council
if the Three-Power organization
in the Western zones was such a
success? Vishinsky asked, accord
ing to American sources.
Vishinsky was referring to the
statements made by the Western
ministers that a return to the
hiatus of the Potsdam Deelara-
Knn nmv wnulrl hp disastrous for
ermany. The Allied Control
Council was set up by the Pots
dam Declaration.
The Soviet minister challenged
a statement of U. S. Secretary of
State Acheson that the new West
German state was a Democratic
regime. Vishinsky said the sug
gestion to extend the Bonn con
stitution to all Germany was an
altempt on the part of the West
ern Powers to take over all Ger
many. The Western Powers indicated
they were standing firm against
a Soviet move to replace the West
German state with Four-Power
control over all Germany.
The American informant said
Vishinsky pictured the Soviet
government as dissatisfied with
Western claims about progress
being made in the joined Western
zones of Germany.
The Russians are not convinced,
he added, that the demilitariza
tion and denazification in the
West are completed.
"If we are not able to unify
Germany, then what shall we do
with the Potsdam agreement?"
Vishinsky asked. "Why discuss
unity? Why are we here?"
American sources commenting
on this said it appeared to throw
the conference hack almost to
where it was in London in 1916,
because Vishinsky appeared to be
demanding lust the kind of con
trols the Western Powers have
refused to reinstate.

Atomic Energy Committee.
McMahon gave the letter to
newsmen and announced that

will start today.
Lilienthal wrote that he wel
comes the investigation, adding:
"A full, complete and speedy
report on the charges that the
United Slates Atomic Energy
Program is virtually a failure is
matter urgently necessary."
S j n r t o r Hickenlooper (R..

Joint Committee, has called for
Lilieulhal's ouster on grounds of
"gross" mismanagement and Sen.
ator McCarran (D.-Nev.), chair
man of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, said that he hopes Lilien
thai will be asked to step down

worthy of the place."
McMahon, in announcing tht
