accusation that the United States

caused grave concern today at

Race Feared
By Congress
WASHINGTON, June 23 ll1)
The threat of a United Nutions
deadlock over atomic energy
control followed by a globul
utomic arms race stirred congress
today as tho result of Russia s
blunt "do-lt-our-way" approach
to the problem."
Leudlng luwmukers declared
emphutlciilly that this country Is
not going to surrender Its A
bomb secret until tested Inter
national controls arc set up
something which the Soviet plun
does not appear to guarantee.
A charge by the communist
newspuper Pravdu that the
Americun plnn for International
control of the weapon "reflects
evident striving for world rule"
provoked sharp counter criticism
from members of the senate's
special atomic committee.
Culling the charge "ridicu
lous," Senator Russell DGu.), a
committee member, told a re
porter he thinks "the Russians
should stop Judging all other na
tion's motives by their own
selfish attitudes."
So Much for 80 Little
"Nobody In the world has ever
offered to give away so much foe

declared. "The Baruch plan is
a generous proposal in which

use for destructive purposes.
"I am bitterly opposed to re

WASHINGTON, June 25 (IP)
Compromise legislation extend

The roll call vote was 239 to

The bill permits the Induction

Marshall had engineered agree

The military aid bill, a par
ticular target for the Chinese
communist leader, was drafted
with a view of helping both
sides, one informant said.
As a mnttcr of fact, he added,
nearly 100 United States officers
havo been here for two months
waiting a cessation of hostilities
so they could open a communist
military training school at Kal

Mno declared that tho United

the government, since such help
"in fact only Interferes with

Poland Favors'
Red Bomb Plan
NEW YORK, June 25 (ff)
Poland today endorsed the
Soviet Russian plan for outlaw
ing atomic warfare.
Dr. Oscar Lange, Polish dele
gate to the United Nations
atomic energy commission, said
his government gave full sup
port to the proposal made last
week by Andrei A. Gromyko,
of Russia.
Lange said the Russian plan
"contains all the basic ideas"
brought forward by Poland at
the January meeting of the U.
N. general assembly in London.
Poland's position was made
known after Alexandre Parodi
of France told the commission
his Bovcrnment approved "in
Drlnciple" the United States
plan for atomic control and for
outlawing the atom bomb.
Parodi said he considered the
plan advanced by Bernard M.
Baruch "a generous contribu
tion" toward a solution of the
problem.
Turning to the Soviet plnn,
Parodi said that a proposal for
outlawing the atomic bomb was
essential to the program. j

Acting Secretary of State Ache

rejected a strong United States
protest against suppression of
news freedom in Romania, and
has forced Reuben Markham of
the Christian Science Monitor to
leave that country.
Acheson told a news confer
ence the United States had regis
tered its objections to the treat
ment of Markham In both
Moscow and Bucharest a month
ago and that it had been turned
down in both places.
Word had just been received
from the Soviet ministry oi
foreign affairs, he said, contend
ing that the American argument
furnished no foundation for re
scinding the Soviet action against
the American pressman. -
The Kremlin takes) this view,
Acheson said, despite the fact
that the American government
considers suppression of news
freedom in Romania a violation
of the Potsdam agreement made
a year ago by Premier Stalin,
President Truman and Prime
Minister Attlee.
Acheson said the Christian
Science Monitor has advised the
state department that Markham
left Romania June 22 and is now
in Athens. Col. General Susai

authority In Bucharest, had or
dered him out at the latest by

Indian Party
Accepts Union
NEW DELHI, June 25 (IP)
The all-India congress party ac
cepted today a long-range British
plan for an independent feder
ated union of India, but rejected
proposals for the establishment
of an interim government.
The decision was reached
after a final two-hour meeting;
of the congress working com
mittee and was announced by
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the
party's president, who commune,
cated the information to Viceroy
Lord Wavell by telephone.
There was some speculation
that the British proposals for an
interim government might be
scrapped and that new sugges
tions would be submitted to
leaders of all Indian political
groups.
The original proposals called
for a 14-man cabinet, on which
the congress party and the Mos
lem league each would have had
five representatives, with tho
remaining four seats going to
minority groups.
The Moslem league announced
its acceptance of the British cab
inet mission's long-range pro
posals for Indian independence
on June 6, and its spokesman
had indicated approval of the
interim government plan al
though the league had taken no
formal action on that question."
There will be 73 planes in
the air simultaneously, keeping
an intricate schedule of time
and place. Traffic will reach a
peak 30 minutes before the bomb
drop, when a radio voice will
warn:
"Thirty minutes before bomb
detonation; thirty minutes be
fore bomb detonation: Stand by.
Mark!"
Drones will maneuver up to
30,000 feet; reconnaissance-plane
crews will prepare to take up
their pursuit of the vast radio
active cloud; and the bomber
will make three test runs before
the actual drop.
If for any reason the bomb
cannot be dropped on the fourth
run there will be one more trip
across the target zone. If the
bomb is not dropped on the fifth
run, officers expect the operation
will be postponed until a later
day. No more than five run
are scheduled.
Once the bomb leaves the six-miles-high
plane, a mother ship
will direct the army's drone
through and around the cloud
mass of the burst at heights of
13,000, 18,000, 24,000 and 30,000
feet, and then return them to
Eniwetok if .they're still fly-able.
