Failure to recognize n3n of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit the Senate, historians have said, jeopardized the peace of the world. Judging from thH. final days of United Na tions debate and the antics of Senator Tom Connally however. Woodrow Wilson was right, The chairman of the Foreign Relations Com mittee, no matter how Stentorian in Senate debate and no matter how popular among his colleagues, is not equal to the rapier repartee ot diplomatic doubletalk. For. thanks to Texas Tom Connally. the Uni te:1 St,a.t?3 was almost placed in a position of giving ."information on the atomic bomb to the United Nations by January t. Here's how it mies of occupation in non-enemy countries. This, of course, was an attempt to expose alleged British and American imperialism, and ti.e American Delegation shot back with a proposal that the size of all armjes be disclosed legardless of where stationed. This, in turn, was an attempt to smoke out the Red Army size at home, in Germany, Austria, Hungary, and the Balkans. Connally - Acts Aloiie When all this came up for debate, the United States was represented by Senator Connally . -A leg-ai "adviser Charles Fahy. The rest of the the General Assembly debate on large stand ing armies during which Russia had proposed th?.t all countries djsclose the size of their ar U. S- Delegation was at a diplomatic dinner ..en by Jimmy Byrnes at the Waldorf. Molo t'v va.- jnvitcd to this dinner, but perhaps knowing Connaily would be alone and unsupport or. the fI.or of the United Nations, he skipp t J the dinner and decided to tackle Texas Tom. Britain was represented by Eager-beaver Sir Hartley Shawcross. noted more for oratory than :.pIoTMacy, who lit a fire under Molotov by pro pping as system of International inspection v -..ch would, penetrate the iron curtain and el iminate the veto. "We are quite willing." Shawcross said, "to allow Russian agents to come to England, t.) go to our bases, to verify our figures the moment Russia agiees to the same arrange ment, for a verification committee to go into t;.; a- "courury and vtiify the information that has been given then. What could be fairer than that?" "But." replied Molotov, "we have submitted tiich a proposal long ago." Molotov "then said thnt if Britain accepted a proposal that all countries disclose armaments as well as troops, he would support it. This was the bait that tiapped Shawcross. Spring ing to hjs feet. Shawcross rushed to the micro phone and said: "I am prepared to meet Mr. Molotov's chall enge." Molotov I Delilded Shawcross then proposed establishment of an international inspection organization free of tbe veto to which ail armaments and troop information would be reported. This delighted iuolotow Sesiator Connally apparently wasn't loliowing the debate, and Shawcross didn't real ize the full implications. For what he proposed :ieant that the United States would have to feive a detailed accounting of every atomic - inhally was .representing' the U. S. during "I think this is going to be a very historic occasion," said Sir Hartley, still oblivious to what he had proposed, ' and I am very glad a5 d proud to take part in it, for I think we are now going to secure agreement on the estab lishment of a real international commission for the supervision and inspection of the armed for ces and armaments of every pwer." This should have been Connally "s cue to stall. U. S. Aides attempted to reach Secretary Byr Instead, he remained in his chair. Hurriedly, U. Aides attempted to reach Secretary Bry jies by phon?. Oddly enough, it was the French deleg?e, M. DeJean, who came to the rescue by asking for time. Molotov, however, plowed straight ahaad. "1 think I can take it that Sir Harley Shaw ci oss adopted the amendment I moved," Mol otov declared, "And I urge the General Assem bly to approve this proposal." By this time members of the British delega tion were trying to flag down Shawcross. Molo tov had agreed to lift the iron curtain, permit free inspection and abandon the veto. However, In Anglo-American Blueprint was not prepar ed for this .It was a tight spot. S,taak (ids Excited While Connally sat in his chair. Belgian U.N. Assembly President, Paul Spaak, finally leach ed for the burning chestnuts. "Do you gentlemen realize what w are going to do now?" he asked excitedly. Spaak pointed out that if the council voted for the Molotov-Shawcross proposal, all govern ments would have to furnish all the information on aims and troops in a matter of days by Jan. 1. However, Shawcross, afire with his own words, rushed forward. "i am very glad that I am able to say it--" lie continued. "That the Soviet Union is in agreement in principle with my proposal, lam in agreement in principle with their proposal He will get the whole thing together tomorrow and put it before the assembly, and, I hope adopt it unanimously. And so tonight will, after all. still remain a rather historic night." What Shawcross didn't know was that he had set oft a diplomatic atomic tomb all his own. Barney Baruch. who has flatly refused to budge an inch on his own atomic bomb ideas, hit the ceiling. When he hearj what had happen ed, he demanded that Jimmy Byrnes torpedo the Anglo-Russian agreemnt. Later Shawcross H.ceived a dressing-down from Ernest Bevm and wound up with the nickname. "Sir Haitley Doublecross." Next day Baruch's wall Street advisers, Fer die Ebeistadt and John Hancock, drafted an amendment to the Shawcross-Molotov agree ment which Connally was forced to introduce. It lead: "Nothing herein contained shall alter iV limit the resolution of the General Assembly creating the atomic engery Commission." This of course, referred to Baruch's organization. The Russians, thanks to Connally and Shaw cross, had made the United States look like th.- "evili giant" who refused to go along on the disarmament. Capital t han British labor members who've ban attacking the Bevin Anti-Russian foreign policy have sent a message of support to former Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace. The British message will be released this Week A. F. of L's Bill Green will veto a CIO invitation to work togeth er in fighting anti-labor legislation of the new Republican congress. Green says that the A. F. of L. would rather fight alone Retiring Senator James Mead of New York now has the inside track for the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee. No final decis ion has been made. .. .Diehard Senator Bob "i'aft and other Republican candidates for the presidential nomination may change their tune on revision of New Deal Labor legislation.
