OF ATOMIC
ENERGY PLAN
APPROVED
Russian Objections Rejected By UN
Paris, Nov. 4.-The United Nations General Assembly, overriding Russian objections, tonight gave overwhelming support to the Western plan for the international control of atomic energy. Ignoring Soviet charges that the plan was an American plot to obtain a "monopoly over atomic energy," 40 nations lined up in favour of giving an international body full control over the mining of uranium, the production of nuclear fuel and the manufacture of atomic weapons.
The six Eastern powers voted against and four nations abstained. At the same time, the Assembly left the door open for Soviet Russia and her Eastern European associates to change their minds and join with the majority of the other United Nations members.
The Assembly endorsed posal which:

BITTER DEBATE

CHINA FAILS TO FULFIL
RELIEF
AGREEMENT
·
Shifting Political Tides The Cause Washington, Nov. 4.-President Truman today told the Congress that China has failed to comply fully with the agreement under which China received relief supplies from the United States between April and June, 1948.
In a report prepared by the Economic Co-operation. Administration. President Truman said, however, that there was apparently "no international disregard of the basic principles" of the relief agreement. "He added that any failure to comply was due to the "shifting tides of the political and economic situation and the military struggle."
The report, the fourth on relle operations, covered the second quar- ter of the calendar year 1948 and was based on the operation of the $350,000,000 relief programme for China, Austria, Greece. Italy and
Trieste. It pointed out these slip ups in the Chin programme: A breakdown in the food
rationing programme in Nanking, delays in making payments on various pro- feels and failure to establish prices In Shanghai at a realistic market rate.
