Atomic energy talk outlines postwar control issues
A United Nations briefing in New York outlines four clear points on atomic energy: US secrecy, likely spread of bomb-making, the risk of a global arms race, and potential peaceful uses with proper controls. Congress debates whether civilian or military authorities lead, McMahon’s Senate committee advances a civilian five member commission, and international control is urged by Baruch with UN aide. The UN atomic commission plans to hear nations’ responses as the story develops.
