UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., April
8 (JP)=A' picture of amiability,
Andrei Y. 'Vishinsky invited' the
West today, to meet the Soviet
Union halfway in a new "tun
nel of friendship." The UN As
sembly listened attentrirply, then
approved an American-backed
plan of work for the Disarma
ment Commission.
The Assembly voted- 52-5 So
viet bloc for the plan ,of Work.
The Assembly rejected, 33-10, a
move by the Soviet Chief delegate
to knock., out a section reaffirm
ing past UN decisions on arms
limitation.
-Vishinsky won a minor victory,
however;. when the United States
and Britain and the majority ac
cepted without a vote a Russian
amendment removing a section
praising -the -12-nation Disarma
ment Commission for its work:
The U.S. and Britain said they
did not think that point worth
quibbling about.
The commission, which includes
the U.S. and the Soviet Union,
was asked to resume work and
report progress.- not later than
Sept. 1.
The commission rriust study the
limitation of armed forces and
armaments, elimination - and pro
hibition of all major weapons, and
the effective international control
of atomic energy to insure prohi
bition of atomic weapons.
• Vishinsky did not gett - the votes
today for his amendment to delete
the reference to past decisions, but
it was obvious his new tact* had
impressed -many delegates. '

Defense Head
Robert A. Lovett
Ammunition
Shortages
Said Critical
WASHINGTON, April 8 - (W)—
Former Secretary of Defense Rob
ert A. Lovett testified today that
there have been critical ammuni
tion shortages in Korea at times.
He blamed "the Army as a whole."
Lovett told a Senate armed ser
vices subcommittee it is utterly
impossible to fix the responsi
bility on any individual or groups
of individuals.
The Army, Lovett said, made a
I"sorry showing" because it failed
to let necessary contracts and
push production.
But the former Cabinet officer,
now back in the investment bank
ing business in Wall Street, de
clared later that the secretary of
defense has final responsibility
for the conduct of the defense de
partment.
Lovett testified that he even
tually took the ammunition situ
ation out of the hands of the Army
and turned it over to one of his
c:vilian assistants, Hugh Dean.
But questions of some, senators
were edged with apparent criti
cism' that Lovett himself hadn't
'stepped into the shortage picture
sooner.
The subcommittee chairman,
Senator Margaret , Chase Smith
(R.-Me.), brought out _that Lovett
Erst found out about 'shortages in
September or October, 1051, ap
pointed Dean as trouble shooter
in August, 1952, and handed con
trol of ammunition procurement
0. Dean in November, 1952.

Industry to Share
Atomic Power Field
WASHINGTON, April 8 (,4 3 )—.The government is getting ready
to modify its ten-year-old, $l2 billion atomic energy monopoly and
invite private enterprise into the field of nuclear power.
The Atomic Energy Commission disclosed that today in a
cautiously worded comment by an official spokesman. His remarks,
together with information from other sources, indicated: •
11 The 'AEC, after several years of study, has adopted a polies? .
intended "to 'create a wider opportunity for private investment" in
building and operating atomic plants to produce electric power.
2. The recommendations have received the approval of Pres
ident Eisenhower, who immediately upon taking office last Jan
uary listed peacetime use of atomic energy as a goal of his
administration.
3. Details of the program • will -be passed along to the Joint
Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee soon. Hearings by that
committee may produce legislation to amend tight restrictions itt
the present Atomic Energy Act which handicap "wider opportunity"
for private enterprise.
Officials•said this would not mean that industry would plunge
immediately into full-scale development of atomic power or that
the government, would abandon . all interest, except for atomic
weapons. Instead, it may take years before anything except indi
vidual ventures • into the field will come about. Estimates that
big-scale operations by private industry may not be possible before
1965 still hold.
While the AEC said details of its recommendations would not be
made public before the congre;sional committee starts work, exist
ing provisions of federal law make obvious some of the changes
needed to encourage private 'investment in' atomic power.
Lifting present bans to allow companies• to - buy, presumably
from the government,-fissionable inaterial needed for the "reactors"
or atomic furnaces, will be only part of the problem.
