Two atomic-Energy Groups Suspend Discussion.\n-\nThe Working Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission,\nin a resolution of June 15 published by the Department\nin July, decided (1) that further study by the Committee\nwould not be useful until the Big Five and Canada\nreport that there exists a basis for agreement, and\n(2) that \"no useful purpose can be served by further\ndiscussions in the Working Committee of Soviet proposals\nfor conventions to prohibit atomic weapons and control\natomic energy, which have already been considered and\nrejected by the appropriate organs of the United Nations. \"8\nA proposal for suspension of further discussion in\nthe Atomic Energy Commission until the six permanent\nmembers report that there exists a basis for agreement\nwas presented on July 20 by the Deputy US Representative\nand was adopted by the 11-member Commission July 29\nby a vote of 9-2, with the Soviet Union and the Ukraine\nopposing it. The resolution pointed out that the\nimpasse between the majority and the Soviet bloc still\nexists, that these differences are irreconcilable at\nthe Commission level, and that further discussion\nwould only tend to harden the differences. The Soviet\nARCHIVES RECORDS ARD\nproposals, which have repeatedly been rejected by the\nSERVICESE\nCommission, and were voted down by the General Assembly\nlast November, were again rejected by the Commission\nJuly 29, by a vote of 7-2, with 2 abstentions.\n9\n2. Ambassador Austin Speaks on Admission of Members.\n-\nIn a statement at the June 24 UN Security Council\nmeeting, published by the Department in July, Ambas-\nsador Warren R. Austin, US Representative, declared\n(1) that from the statement of the Soviet delegate\nit would appear that he is making his support for\nthe admission of the 7 states whose applications his\ngovernment has previously vetoed conditional upon\nSecurity Council approval of the 5 states which he\ndesires to see admitted\", and (2) \"as the International\nCourt has held, such a course of action is illegal\nand inconsistent with the Charter. \"10\nAmbassador Austin pointed to the need for applicants\nto be peace-loving, and able and willing to abide by\nthe Charter, when the UN Security Council on July 11\nPIbid. , July 11, p. 18.\n9 Ibid.
