Predict Ruhr Coal Talks Will Be Deferred London, Aug. 2 (AP).--Govern- ment sources predict that British- American talks in Washington on boosting Ruhr coal output will be deferred until mid-August, when British officials hope the full signi- ficance of Britain's economic plight will have become clear to the United States government and people.

Favor Distribution Of Atomic Stockpiles Among World Nations By FRANCES W. CARPENTER Lake Success, Aug. 2 (AP).-- - United Nations atomic delegates warned today that atomic stockpiles and production facilities must be distributed among the nations to avoid tempting an aggressor to launch an atomic war. In one of a series of papers which make up a preview of the second report of the U.N. Atomic Energy Commission, a group of delegates declared that the seizure of stock- piles and production facilities, plus facilities using nuclear fuel, would be a signal that a country was about " to embark on atomic war- fare." Canadian Helped In Preparation Russia did not take part in draw- ing up the papers. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, Canadian delegate to ~the Commission, helped prepare "It is of vital importance that production facilities, facilities util. izing nuclear fuel and stockpiles should be distributed amongst na- tions in such a way as to minimize the military advantage that their 'seizure would provide for a nation which has aggressive intentions," the delegates said. "A well-planned distribution could not in itself prevent atomic war but the objective should be to decrease the incentive for any one nation or group of nations to attempt to se- cure a military advantage by seiz- ure." Will Be Considered Wednesday The papers, framed by the dele. gates in their individual capacities and still not approved by their -~ governments, will be tackled by the political committee of the commis. sion next Wednesday. The com- mission is working on its second re- port to the Security Council, whica must be turned in before the U.N. Assembly meets September 16. With Russia standing aloof and Poland taking only a slight part, atomic circles in the U.N. speculated that the second report would be approved by a 10.0 vote as was the first. Russia and Poland abstained on the final vote on the first report, which contained the general frame- work for an atomic control treaty, and Russia and the United States still. are far from agreement o! * fundamentals. - .

The company in publicizing its 10-cent-an-hour wage increase offer omitted mention of the gap between wages at Robson Co, and those in other shops, the union statement charged.

"This is hardly reasonable in view of the unsettled economic situation in the country," declared Fred Col- lins, international representative of the IF.L.W.U., speaking on behalf of the union's publicity committee. "Living costs are continuing to rise and we cannot agree to peg our wages while prices on goods mount day after day."
