...burden of crisis had shifted from the presidency to other hands. The tangled issues of OPA, the draft, labor legislation were squarely, if temporarily, up to Congress. Secretary of State Byrnes was off for Paris, trying to crack the Big Four deadlock on peace treaties. Elder Statesman Bernard Baruch was guiding U.S. plans for control of the atom (see INTERNATIONAL). Poised at dead center, the President had nothing to do but wait...
Silver-haired Elder Statesman Bernard M. Baruch was visibly proud of his role. As U.N. Secretary Trygve Lie handed over the temporary chairmanship of U.N.'s Atomic Energy Commission, Baruch prefaced his proposals with a touching passage: "I was moved," he said, "in the afternoon - shall I say, in the late afternoon - of my life, to add my effort to gain the world's quest, by the broad mandate under which we were created" (the January resolution of the U.N.'s General Assembly passed in London). He said: "All of us are consecrated to making...
Progress. The main proposals offered by Mr. Baruch eloquently paraphrased the Acheson-Lilienthal plan published by the State Department this spring (TIME, April 8). The Acheson plan divides atomic work into activities "dangerous" and "nondangerous" to world security. An international Atomic Development Authority would take over the dangerous enterprises, leaving the nondangerous to the nations. The plan admits that the line between the two may shift with future developments; one of ADA's prime functions would be to keep track of the shifting line...
Veto Trouble. Mr. Baruch said that if all goes well the U.S. will cease making bombs, "dispose of" existing bombs, and turn over its know-how to ADA. It will give up superiority in a gradual, step-by-step procedure if other nations sign the ADA charter-and if, in matters covered by the charter, they give up the one-power veto which now prevents penalizing any member of the Big Five unless all concur. Baruch proposed "condign punishments" for violations, which would be "stigmatized as international crimes." and he said that punishment must not be avoided by means...
...officials share the world's growing belief that one restraint on Soviet power politics is the fact that the U.S., for all her fading force and domestic distraction, still has The Bomb. With that in mind, U.S. policy-makers last week gave Bernard Baruch a clear directive on the course to take as U.S. member of the atomic commission. If Russia really cooperates in U.N. and the peace, the U.S. will gradually turn her atomic secrets and know-how over to international control. If Russia stalls, the U.S. will stall in the commission-and keep right on making bombs...
