See CHAIRMAN on Page Three WORLD ATOMIC CONTROL ASKED State Department Recom mends International Com mission For Power WASHINGTON, March 28—(U.R)— The State department’s committee on atomic energy reported Thurs day night that peaceful, progres sive control of this awful force must be given to an all-powerful international commission instead of a global police squad seeking to handcuff its uses for war. Such a police force just won’t work, the committee told Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. But, it said in an extensive report, an in ternational atomic development authority, with powers to control atomic energy from the earth to the finishing plant, can do the job. Just Foundation Trie report and its recommenda tions, it was emphasized, is only "a working paper, not a final plan.” As Byrnes stressed in a foreword, it is “a place to begin, a foundation on which to build.” But it hammered again and again at the premise that international con trol of the sources of atomic power —extending to downright owner ship of the sources—was the only workable answer to the world’s fears. The report was sent to the White House and to the Secretaries ol War and Navy, as well as to Senate Atomic energy committee.

Warlick, of Whiteville, who has been suffering from the unusual circulatory ail ment which is caused by a small or obstructed passage from the heart 1o the pulmonary artery, was carried to Baltimore on March 19 for diagnosis and treatment. • “Severe Case” Dr. Blalock, in a long-distance conversation with a Star represent ative last night, described her’s as a “severe case” of the affliction. While he would not predict the out come of the operation, he expressed satisfaction with the child’s prog5’ ress so far. Flora Frances was paralyzed at the age of nine months, though later she recovered under the care of Dr. J. Buren Sidbury, of Wil mington.

James H. McCall, board chairman, told the House Ag riculture committee that the “meat racket under OPA” make's the liquor racket of the 1920’s seem like petty crime. “The only remedy,” he said, “is removal of price controls from the livestock and meat industry.” “ONE WORLD OR NONE” International Control Of Atomic Energy _BY WALTER LIPPMANN_ ■ Editor’s Note: This is the third of a series of nine articles reprinted by permission from the book, “One World or None” while Mr. Uppmann is on a trip to Europe.

III Our own experience with the method of collective security has proved how right was Hamilton in saying that when “every breach of the laws must involve a state of war and military execution must become the only instrument of civil obedience,” no “prudent man (would) choose to commit his hap piness to it.’’* At the beginning of this chapter I said that the essential political principle is known ' by which our problem can be solved. There is no mystery about it, and indeed it be comes self-evident once we real ize clearly why collective security is such a bad method of enforcing laws and agreements.

Byrnes Favors Secretary of State James T. Byrnes was reported to favor this proceure and to support the idea, for which there appeared to be substantial support, that Russia and Iran should be asked within a fixed, short time to answer ques tions on this order: See QUESTIONS on Page Three TRUMAN CREATES DEFENSE COUN L Top Generals And Ad mirals Provided For In President’s Plan WASHINGTON, March 28—(Ay President Truman, Thursday, set up an unprecedented elder states men’s organization for national de fense, as he called it, composed of the 10 top wartime general* and .dmirals.

Full Support Mr. Truman also gave assurance that Secretary of State Byrnes has his full support in pressing for dis cussion of the Iranian situation in the United' Nations Security Coun cil. In reply to another question, he said he had no misgivings that the walkout of the Russian repre sentative would be a permanent ab sence. The chief executive announced his so-called elder statesmen’s or ganization for defense at the out set of his conference and said it would serve directly under him.

We wait—but the wind is blowing, The boat leans like a bird; We want to take you flying But you say not a word. My sailboat is the swift love Fashioned for you by me— While you stand silent on the beach It takes me out to sea. • • * SONG WITHOUT MUSIC—Well, what do you think?

Analysis of Killers Dr. Irwin A.

Dr. Vernon Fox, also of Illinois university, was Berg’* co-investigator. ‘Those who slew females were significantly older, statistically, than those who slew males,” Berg said. “The average age was 37.7 years for 70 men who slew females and 32.7 years for 130 men who slew males.” Slay for Revenge “The general trend,” he de clared, ‘‘was for younger men to slay for economic gain or to avenge an insult, and they See MURDER on Page Three 1 *
