OFFICERS

Protection Defined In Case Of Self-Government

London, June 17.

Britain today announced the creation of an "Overseas Civil Service" which will give new rights to the men who help to administer Britala's colonial empire.

An office paper on the reorganisation of the Colonial Service states that from October 1, 1954, a new service will be set un called "Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service". This will merge all the existing unified branches of the colonial service.

Previously, civil servants in many territories have been wondering if they will still be needed if the area which they serve becomes self-governing and British control is withdrawn.

Under the new scheme, if a particular territory gets self-government. colonial service officers may expect

ATOMIC POWER

Washington, June 17.

It is possible now that the secret con- versations between representatives of the United States, Russia, Great Britain, and Canada, on President Eisenhower's plans for an international "atomic bank," have broken down, the United States will announce a new inter- national atomic policy of its own.

In consequence, America is now considering an idea that was first mooted in the days of the Tru- man administration, that the United States should offer, either on its own behalf or through the United Nations, to make fissionable material available to underdeveloped countries, or those with limited power resources, for industrial purposes.
