U S Firm on Control Plan for Atomic Weapons
President Truman reiterated demand for tight international control with inspections before outlawing atomic weapons and discussed separate UN notification on continuing AEC work including the hydrogen bomb. Senator Vandenberg urged a clear readiness to ban all such weapons if outlawed, but Truman kept UN process separate. No progress in UN toward reconciling U S and Soviet views on controls. Congress weighs H-bomb production costs in the hundreds of millions, not billions.

Plan Strong Fleet in East
TOKYO February 2 Admiral P Sherman said the American Far Eastern fleet would stay at maximum strength amid expanding Soviet submarine power in Asia. General Bradley and Air General Vandenberg said no plan to reinforce western Pacific land and air forces. Sherman noted Russia has 270 to 280 submarines, about a fourth in the Pacific. The navy would keep the Seventh Fleet in Asiatic waters and may add some ships while reorganizing to keep two aircraft carriers. Bradley and Vandenberg said the visit was to gather information, not decide. They endorsed keeping Yokosuka base indefinitely in American hands, calling it the best American base in this region.
