Senator Taft's perseverence in isolation has led him to suggest recently that the United States withdraw the Baruch plan for international atomic energy control "until the world is in a more peaceful state." By throwing this idea upon the table as a last futile barrage against the Lilienthal confirmation, Taft shocked many people, even his Republican colleagues. It is clear, however, that the Taft proposal to squelch the American atomic plan is a type of thinking characteristic of the present power conflict between the United States and Russia...

Unqualified use of the toughness policy may result in the destruction of the United Nations pattern...
...this nominee's connection with the Acheson-Lilienthal report, covering the problem of physical, atomic controls, disclosed a flaw in his reliability as a guardian of our atomic secrets because this report did not go to a finality in prescribing the ultimate security system demanded by the later Baruch report. It seems to me that this criticism is irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial...
...Bernard Baruch, who has been photographed a lot in his 76 years, posed with Herman Baruch, 74, who has not done much posing, but who obviously should have (see cut). The splendidly dressed occasion: Brother Herman's oath-taking in Washington as new U.S. Ambassador to The Netherlands...
