GOOD , VENING EVERYBODY: The United N a tions Atomic Energy Commission has tenatively a g ree d that all existin at omic weapons should be destroyed. Tonight a majority of the Committee adopted in principle a proposal put forth by Soviet Delegate Gromyko. Gromyko ants all atom bombs destroyed; and not turned OYer to the United N ~ tions nor used somehow as sources of at.oaic fuel~ They 11 should be destroyed, says Gromyko. And toni g ht, them jority o f the dele ga tes lined up with him; although the decision was f a r from final. There was no discussion this evening of the American-backed Baruch plan for atomic control which provides only that the atomic bomb be eliminated from national armaments, me ning, of course, th t the weapon could be included in the arme d force . of the Unite lations. Toni g ht's decision, if it tands up, means t ha t I I ATOMlQ..._- 2 the proposed O.N. police force wil no h e i it arsenal the atomic bomb. NE ".1 L E D ~A .
