Secretary Barnes Urges Prompt UN Commission on Atomic Energy
Secretary Barnes called the United Nations Assembly to approve promptly the creation of a special commission on control of atomic energy and to pledge land sea and air forces to a world police force. He urged approval of the Moscow draft from the Foreign Ministers conference. About 60 members wives and guests attended the Capitol Milk Producers Association dinner at Hotel Frederick.

Rotary Club Community Service committee recommends delaying Frederick County War Memorial for at least six months to pursue a county wide effort rather than a city project.
