Defauw Finds VIEWS EXPRESSED BY BARUCH AT SESSION OF UNITED NATIONS (By Assecinted Preas) WASHINGTON, Jiine 20.—Two nations, whose names were not revealed, were reported today to favor the views xpressed by the Atomic Bomb commission last week, ‘through their chairman, Bernard Baruch, The Russian ambassador, however, offered a counter Proposal to that which was ex- plained by Baruch: interna- tionally outlawing the use of atomic energy in bombs and then destroy all bombs in ex- istence and all materials that are ready to be used in making atomic bombs. Gromyko, the Russian ambas- sador, said he favored the de- struction of the bombs and atomic materials before the Baruch pro- ‘posal comes up for consideration before the United Nations as- sembly next fall. Atomic bombs, in the pos- session of the United States, are the most destructive weapons of war, as well as the | most dreadful in the estima- tion of the peoples of the en- tire world. That power, Gromyko recommended, should first be desiroyed, but he did not explain how the loss of it by the United States would be compensated for in the event that the United Nations did not act favorably on the Baruch proposal. In other words, a spokesman said, Russia as usual is taking | “reverse action’’ on the pro- posal, as on several others that have been considered since the cessation of hostilities, with the sole aim of strengthening Russia while weakening other nations. | WEINER Lee o —— BY WOMA e A committee was elected by the Key West Bus iness and Pro fessional Wemen's club last pight ‘to outline plans for a weine® Post ‘to be served by the group im the near future.
