Russian Plan Given Study by America
In New York Bernard Baruch and advisors in the UN atomic commission review the Russian plan for world atomic control. President Truman backs Baruch, saying the US will not surrender bomb secrets or ship weapons under treaty provisions unless the veto is dropped. The Baruch plan seeks a nearly autonomous international authority with broad search and enforcement powers. The Russian plan would keep veto power with the Big Five and rely on the Security Council, with sanctions as punishment and no international search mandate. A lengthy negotiation period is expected with both sides insisting on their core features.
