UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.. Sept '
24 0r-The United States promised
today to place its atomic-sharing

posed for sn international atome

the same.
U.S. Delegate James J. Wads
worth made the offer In opening

said the s'rong provisions against -military
misuse, contained in a "
proposed statute for the agency
could be extended to bilateral '
agreements among countries upon '
their request. The United States'
has such agreements with 39 other
countries. Britain, Canada and th.
Soviet Union also have them, .
"The United States." Wadaworth '
said, "hopes that parties to bilat
eral arrangements throughout the "'
world will avail themselves of this
provision (to extend safeguards, t
these agreements), thus contribute .
ing toward the eventual establish,
ment of a uniform system of safe- '
guards of universal a plication.
"If this Is done," he added, "the ':
United States can look forward ta
making the agency the corner .
stone of its international activities m
in the field of atomic energy."
Wadsworth said the proposed '
statute was agreed upon by 13 ne
gotiating powers in Washington '
but that It was not perfect.
