HARMONY SEEN ING. 0.P. RANKS

‘Little Feuds’ Overcome by National Committee.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY ‘ Scripps-Howard Staff Writer CHICAGO, Dec. 8.—A tongue-in-cheek approval by the Republican national committee of the recent “policy statement” of a G. O. P. congressional committee seemed in the cards for late today. Thus was expected to end the only real fight threatened at this two-day meeting. ’ Numerous national committeemen gave the congressional statement a lusty cuffing-about for being too vague on labor, universal military training and other top national questions. But despite this feéling, thére weren't many willing to go so far as to repudiate it and bring on a serious party row in 1946, an election year. The most that was expected to happen was the naming of a group from the national committee to work out, perhaps with congressional co-operation, a further supplementary statement of principles for the 1046 elections. .. May Satisfy Dissenters This might satisfy dissenters who believed the congressmen had muffed their job of writing the kind of ticket that could attract some Votes. There were other little feuds bubbling, but the signs pointed to peace and harmony for the most part #t today's, windup, Some committeemen = were critical of ‘top party leadership for not getting the national committee's executive committee together more often to help chart party direction. Western committeemen made the hardy annual complaint about lack of reppresentation in management of party affairs, : But veteran party stalwarts were running the show in the resolutions

energy.” United States leadership in the move to enlarge the atom discussions was evident in a state depart ment announcement that the threepower conference was suggested by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. His action is a logical step in President Truman's atomic program as presented in a message to congress Oct. 3. The President said then that in an effort to eliminate the threat of atomic warfare he would discuss the question first with Canada ‘and Britain, partners in the atom bomb’'s development, and then with “other nations.” Britain, Canada and the have talked it over. They made

their views known in a joint

declaration Nov. 15 saying they were willing to share atom bomb secrets with other United Nations as soon as “enforceable safeguards” could be set up to prevent its use for destructive purposes. They recommended the creation of a commission under the United Nations Organization to look into the ‘question. Extended to Russia Even while the matter waits U. N. O. attention, however, the U. 8. has acted to-extend discussion to Russia. This was urged by many leading statesmen and scientists in this country as & move. to allay Soviet suspicions that the U8. was holding out on the A-bomb as a means of international bullying,

Scientists have also been warning’

that other nations, including Russia, could find out any important atom bomb secrets within as short a period as nine months. Some said Russia could outstrip us in an atomic arms race. . The three-power announcement is certain to be regarded in allied capitals as a hopeful sign amid recent indications of mistrust among the world’s most powerful nations. No Secret Involved

The discussions will not involve any specific atom bomb secrets held by this country or jointly with Britain and Canada. In addition to atom bomb control, Mr. Byrnes, British Poreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Russian Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov are expected to take up other matters on which Britain, Russia and the U. 8. have been divided. These include evacuation of armed forces from Iran, control of Japan, the Balkan governments, co-operation in Asia and centralized control of Germany. It is probable that the conferees
