Will Not Give Up Bomb Making
NEW YORK. (AP) Bernard M. Baruch says America will not surrender the atom bomb "unless and until we know that all other countries are prevented from doing the thing we would be giving up—bomb making."
The U. S. delegate to the United Nations atomic energy commission also declared at the 50th annual New York Herald-Tribune forum on current affairs last night:
"Are we the only ones to disarm? That way is suicide."
Baruch's statement was a reaffirmation of the American plan for the atom bomb which envisages an atom bomb treaty that would not be subject to veto power once it had been signed.
The Russian counter-proposal asks that veto power remain in the enforcement of such a treaty.
