Stand Maintained Over Veto Powers
New York June 21 AP Backed by President Truman the Baruch group in the United Nations atomic commission stands firm against Russia to retain veto power over world atomic control. Truman endorsed Baruch plan while noting possible negotiations may lead to agreement. Baruch scrutinized the Russian plan which preserves veto with the big five and lacks an international search authority. The Russian substitute would keep security council veto and impose sanctions via national laws. Baruch seeks an international law with teeth and universal ratification before any global body acts. The debate foresees lengthy negotiations with emphasis on disarmament and enforcement mechanisms, recalling we have the bombs.
