The accompanying chart gives the highlights of pro and con debate on the ifs and whys of keeping the method of the bomb’s manufacture a secret or letting additional nations in on the secret. WHO SAID—- Presidént Truman, Sen. Tom Connally (D, Tex), chairman Foreign Relations Committee, Sir Stafford Cripps, president, British Board of Trade: Maj. Gen. Leslie R.

Must be a secret until world organization is secure, “Amateur experimentation must be controlled.” U. S. and Britain should keep secret but provide special atomic bomber force to United Nations Organization. Effort to keep from rest of world ““will lead to an unending war more severe than the lost.” “It is well recognized by both the military and the scientists . .

Unity of nations only effective control. United States must “arrange for immediate control of this wedpon by a world authority.” Development of international policy needed instead of secrecy. International control needed to avert “great danger of seizure’ of this menacing weapon by aggressors.” “Only through the monopoly of at8mic force by a world or- ganization can we hope to abolish war. BLANKETS.... wage rates in July 1944 were sub- stantially higher than the rates of workers in identical occupations in the West Coast states, the highest \\m; area in the United States prop- er,” according to Mr. W.
