New York, Dec. 17. IL ts "reasonably pro- bablo" that there will not be an atomic war "for a while yet." General Andrew McNaughton, the Canadian member of the United Na- Lions Atomic Energy Com- mission, said here today.
The United States would maintain its "ascendancy" in the field of atomic energy for at least another 10 years.
General McNaughton, addressing the Canadian Club of New York, added that it would be folly to wasto time" in preparing defensive measures.—Reuter.
