Armannov Election Date Set
For Tuesday In Pine Room
Lake Success, N. Y., Jan. 15—(UP) A growing number of scientists and experts engaged in the United Nations effort to develop international atomic control, believe that no atomic secret, as such, any longer exists.
The mid-semester election of Armanav officers will be held at 7 p. m. Tuesday in the Pine room of the Union.
The members of this group also believe that within five years other nations besides America will have arsenals of atomic bombs at their command.
As for production of a single atomic bomb, these men believe nations outside the United States may duplicate the feat of the Manhattan project in less than five years.
The regular meeting was canceled because of approaching exams,
The views of these experts and scientists, representing several of the nations engaged in the U. N. atomic negotiations, appeared to parallel those of President Truman's air policy commission which reported this week that within five years—by Jan. 1, 1953—there will be enough A-bombs in existence beyond our borders to make possible an atomic attack on the United States.
The official prediction with its White House label appeared here to dispel all the unofficial and semi-official assertions that the United States' atomic bomb monopoly might be maintained for at least a decade and possibly longer.
Seasoned UN atomic negotiations still were unanimous, however, that the current world political situation—the east-west split and the suspicion it breeds—remains the big barrier to world atomic security.
Nothing short of a miraculous turnabout in American-Russian relations, they believe, will make possible any real progress in 1948 in the UN atomic energy commission.
Negotiations begin once more on Friday, when the American-led majority and the two-nation minority
—Russia and the Soviet Ukraine—begin detailed discussions of the Soviet proposals on the international inspection and control agency features of atomic control.
