DIPLOMATS SPECULATE

Diplomats familar with ussian policy moves speculated hat the Russians eventually might try to bring the American proposals within the scope of the United Nations. This would permit a voice in the operations of such a plan.

Some diplomats also professed to believe that the Russians even- tually will find a way to join the scheme. especially since they have learned the United States and some of its friends are going ahead with developing the plan re- gardless of what the Soviet Union does.

Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.. chief American delegate. told the steer- ing committee at a brief session that the United States wanted to put before the assembly a new item:

"International to - operation in developing the peaceful uses of atomic energy: Report of the United States of America."

Lodge said that the refusal of the Soviet Union to join the plan could not be allowed in prevent the world from sharing its bene- fits.

He said there probably is no, single matter before the assembly that promises more constructive benefits for mankind. His item indicates, however, the U. S. will merely report to the UN and will carefully refrain from giving the UN a voice in creating an atomic agency. g
