Received Wednesday, 7.0 p.m. NEW YORK, Jan. 21. United Nations experts on atomic energy deelare that there is jio chance that atomic power will deprive employees of jobs or threateu the existing- electrical iudusti'y for at least ten years. They added that -it was extremely impj obable in this generation that ilumie power can revolntionise the cust, oi' power or displace coal as fuel. The United Nations Eeonomic and Employment Committee deeided that it would be premature to avssess the consequenees of atomic power upon world ecouoiuy or employment. The New York. Times says that a new appronch to the eni'oreement of international eontrol or atomic energy is being eonsidered by tlie United States. The plnn would g'ive the international atoinie inspection ageney, not the security couneil, tho right to deelare that there had been a serious violation of the proposed eontrol agreement calling for "condign" ])unishment. Individual uienibers of the united nations thereafter would be authorised to deelare war on tho violntor pending aclion by the Security (lonneil. Tlie plan had the advnntngc of not ro(|iiiring an amendment to tlie United Nations Charter to restrict tho use of the voto. and tlius might have a better chance oi' being accepted by Russia which is adamant against any change in tlie veto power. Alr. Bernai'd Baruch is reportod 1 o a]iprove Ihe plan in ])i*inci])lc as do Mr. John Foster Dallas and other Rejniblican experts in foreign policy.
