THILL, Tenor available at Charles Hutton & Sons Britain Expected Accede To U.S. Demand To Block Red China From U.N. Seat 'Sympathetic' To Position Of U.S. By STANLEY PRIDDLE LONDON (Reuters)—Britain will almost certainly accede to American wishes and agree to block Communist China's admission to the United Nations for another year, diplomatic sources here say. The sources say Britain's stand will be made known before the UN General Assembly starts its 10th annual session in New York Sept. 20. Britain's agreement with the United 'states, they add, will take the form of a renewal of the "moratorium" policy adopted by the two countries following outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Thousands of Chinese poured across the Yolu river in November, 1950, and fought alongside the Communist North Koreans. This let! to the Peiping government's being branded as an aggressor by the UN two months later. Until the Korean War the Western powers had no common policy towards thc seating or Communist China in Ihe UN.

The main aim of Britain's Far East policy Is directed towards universal recognition of the Peiping government and its admission to the UN. It is believed here that until this is achieved there can be no satisfactory settlement in tha area. At the same time. Sir Anthony Eden's government deeply sympathizes with the United States position. For this reason it will not, at least for the time bein, take any stop which would embarrass President Eisenhower and consequently strain Anslo-American relations. Russians Announce First c ommercial Atom Plant Producing Power at Competitive Cost GENEVA (CP'j—A Soviet scientist said Sunday the commercial., power atomic reactor.announced -by his country, some time ago, could actually produce ■ power at costs competitive with those of certain "small** power plants using conventional fuels. This would make Russia the first country actually to demonstrate commercial economic power even on a limited basis, The Soviet claim highlighted the eve of world's first full-scale conference on peaceful uses of atomic energy opening today.

Business Spotlight Bright Picture For Canada's Exports OTTAWA (CP) - Canada's "ports now have increased to Dfir record proportions, The whole Canadian foreign h*atb picture has taken on a brighter glow in the wake of thc Moslem world's economic recov. try.

She .has been -'living heavily from Cmadi at a time when Canada's purchases from that country have declined. Britain's deficit ln Canadian trade has more than doubled In thc first half of 1955 compared with thc similar 1054 period,' CREDIT RESTRICTED Britain, fearing inflation, has taken action to restrict lending and reduce credit buying. Some other European countries ss well as the U.S. have take*-, anti-Inflationary action. Just what effect this will have on buying from Canada is yet to be seen. Canada's trade continues to be mainly with the U.S. Exports to that country Increased In the first half of the year to $1,228,500,000 from .$1,144,8(10,000 a year ago. Imports rose to $1,850,400,000 from $1,502,800,000. . To an Increasing extent the surplus . in trade with Britain has helped cover a portion of the deficit In trade with the U. S. Canada's deficit In American trade rose In tha first half of the year to $421,90,000 from 1358,000,- 000 in 1954. But In that period the surplus In trade with Britain more thai) doubled to $202,700,000 from $82,900,000, Canadian exports to the U.K. increased- to' *Stt;4M;WW from I287,*W.0«. and ' Imports dropped to $183,700,000 from $34,* 100,000, 1,200 delegates and observers from 72 countries will attend, Physicist Boris Baturov, who de- scribed himself as "a -worker in the system of the Acad*»my of Sciences" which conducts Russia's entire atomic program, said the 5,- 000 kilowalt power plant was located near Moscow. RUSSIA SCOOPS U.S. An American Atomic Energy Commission official, informed of the Russian scientist'-, statement, said that Russia "scooped us and that's all therc is to it" in being thc first to claim having built a wholly commercial power reactor producing as much is 5,000 kilowatts of electricity, enough to fill the needs of a community of at least 10,000 persons. But he declared that the United States could actually build one if it wished and "Ji it had the incentive" from the standpoint of there bein|" difficulties in ' transporting conventional fuels, He said that conventional power costs in Russia now are higher than those In the United Slates because of "greater" distances involved In transporting fuels to some areas and also because some of thc rivers used in transporting some of Russia's fuel flow in directions opposite to the routes of cargo ships. THREE HIGHLIGHTS Among other highlights of the \ atomic power development program, said "by 1965 it is expected that five per cent of thc (nations) electrical supply will come from nuclear power stations. By 1975, 25 per cent of the supply will be produced from nuclear sources." SPECIAL INTERPRETERS These details were obtained in a press preview of official, scientific exhibits sponsored by approximately 20 of the participating countries. Sessions dealing with scientific reports will b**f*in today, continuing until Aug. 20. All'delegations from the major countries —Canada, the United States, Russia, Britain, France and the Asian countries—have already arrived in Geneva. Conference chairman is Dr. J.

Secretary ■ GeneraL.Dag Hammarskjold * will address the opening session of the 12-day meeting at the general assembly hall In the European headsuarters building of the United Nations—the former League of Nations palace. A special squad of interpreters has arrived from U.N, headquarters ip New York' 'to carry out simultaneous translations. The squad has taken a three-month course in scientific terms so as not to stumble over the complicated language of nuclear experts.

Britain Expected Accede
To U.S. Demand To Block
Red China From U.N. Seat
'Sympathetic' To
Position Of U.S.
By STANLEY PRIDDLE
LONDON (Reuters)—Britain will almost certainly
accede to American wishes and agree to block Communist
China's admission to the United Nations for another year,
diplomatic sources here say.
The sources say Britain's stand
will be made known before the
UN General Assembly starts its
10th annual session in New York
Sept. 20.
Britain's agreement with the
United 'states, they add, will take
the form of a renewal of the "moratorium" policy adopted by the
two countries following outbreak of
the Korean War in 1950,
Thousands of Chinese poured
across the Yolu river in November, 1950, and fought alongside the
Communist North Koreans. This
let! to the Peiping government's
being branded as an aggressor by
the UN two months later.
Until the Korean War the Western powers had no common policy
towards thc seating or Communist
China in Ihe UN. Britain, which
had recognized the Communist
government in January, 1950, cam*
psiuncd Ior the entry of Peiping's
rriK-cscntalivc.
Tbe United States opposed the
tenting of Communist drlsgatcs
h**i w;»« considering abstaining
when the next vote was taken.
AGAINST OWN WISHES
Diplomatic quarters here say
Britain still would like to see Communist China admitted to the UN
as soon as possible, bul In deference to American wishes will
again support a move lo postpone
discussion of the question when it
is raised, probably by Russia,
next monlh.
The main aim of Britain's Far
East policy Is directed towards
universal recognition of the Peiping government and its admission to the UN. It is believed here
that until this is achieved there
can be no satisfactory settlement
in tha area.
At the same time. Sir Anthony
Eden's government deeply sympathizes with the United States position.
For this reason it will not, at
least for the time bein, take any
stop which would embarrass President Eisenhower and consequently
strain Anslo-American relations.

CREDIT RESTRICTED
Britain, fearing inflation, has
taken action to restrict lending and
reduce credit buying. Some other

RUSSIA SCOOPS U.S.
An American Atomic Energy
Commission official, informed of
the Russian scientist'-, statement,
said that Russia "scooped us and
that's all therc is to it" in being
thc first to claim having built a
wholly commercial power reactor
producing as much is 5,000 kilowatts of electricity, enough to fill
the needs of a community of at
least 10,000 persons.
But he declared that the United
States could actually build one if
it wished and "Ji it had the incentive" from the standpoint of there
bein|" difficulties in ' transporting
conventional fuels,
He said that conventional power
costs in Russia now are higher
than those In the United Slates because of "greater" distances involved In transporting fuels to
some areas and also because some
of thc rivers used in transporting
some of Russia's fuel flow in directions opposite to the routes of
cargo ships.
THREE HIGHLIGHTS
Among other highlights of the
\ atomic power development program, said "by 1965 it is expected
that five per cent of thc (nations) electrical supply will come
from nuclear power stations. By
1975, 25 per cent of the supply
will be produced from nuclear
sources."

Tell Of
Torture
While Imprisoned
ln Red China
By SIDNEY BROOKES
TOKYO (Reuters)—Col.
John Knox Arnold, just released from a Red prison
camp, said he was tortured
by the Chinese Communists
for periods up to 96 hours
until "I was just screaming.''
Arnold and 10 other American
airmen freed after 2V** years in
Communist China told of their
experiences in bitter detail when
they faced reportars, photographers. TV and movie cameras at a
press conference.
The U.S. airmen, Arnold said,
had been subjected to "types of
persuasion civilized people don't
believe anyone would use."
Describing how the Communists
tried to force a full "confession"
from him, he said: "They told
me I could put it off but sooner
or later they would get it and usa
it."
He added grimly: "They did not
get it."

the Communists relented and h**
did not sign any statement. All
others signed a itatsm-sat under

At this, point Col. Arnold intervened Ui say he h»d signed 3

signed when told by the Com*
munists he had signed.
"I told those people things it
would better they did not know.
I am very much ashamed," the
colonel said.
