Baruch Leads U S Plan for International Atomic Control
The United States outlined a plan at the UN to destroy its atomic bomb stockpile and halt production if a robust international authority governs atomic energy. Baruch pressed for an enforceable global framework with no veto power, and detailed steps toward peaceful use and disarmament. He urged the creation of an international atomic development authority with full transfer of know-how and strict penalties for violations. The proposal follows President Truman's directive and calls for dismantling bombs once adequate control is established.
