(CP)- Debate on President Eisenhower's atoms-for-peace pian resumes to- day in the General Assembly's political committee amid specula- | tion as to what Russia's attitude will be. France and Colombia were listed to speak today. Britain and Can- ada already have announced sup- port of the plan, designed to re- velop and share on an international basis the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Andrei Vishinsky is expected to make Russia's aftitude known later in the week. While the West | has asked for Russian co-opera- tion, there is little optimism that the reply will be favorable, Some delegates expect Russia will support the plan in principle, but insist that the proposed inter- national agency be more closely | linked with the UN--or "within the mischief of the veto," as one dele- gate put it. The sponsors of the plan have proposed that the agency be set up similar to the UN's special ized agencies, which are them- selves autonomous but have their activities co-ordinated by the UN. Russia is unlikely to agree to such loose linkage with t UN. Instead Russia is likely to pro- pose that the agency operate un- der the control of the UN Security Council, where as a major power Russia has the veto. When Eisenhower introduced his plan last December, he indicaved that the U.S. wanted Russian co- operation. Britain and Canada urged Russian co-operation when debate on the plan started last Friday. But at the same time it was an- nounced that regardless of what Russia decided, there will be no delay in launching the plan.

Strikers Invade Newspaper Office SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters)-- More than 1,500 striking dock workers, singing, shouting and stamping, today invaded the of- fices of The Daily Telegraph, one of Sydney's two morning newspa- pers. Carloads of police rushed to clear the men from the building. The newspaper had today strongly condemned the strike. The govern- ment "should "order the navy and army to work the ports until it is over," it d. All Australian ports are para- lyzed by the week-long strike of 26,000 dockers which has already seriously affected transport of coal exports and imports. GUARD PARLIAMENT Police guarded all entrances to the New South Wales state Par- liament house from noon onward as a precaution against a threat- ened demonstration by strikers. After they left The Telegraph building, the men decided to boy- cott the handling of newsprint for the newspaper, after the strike is settled because they resented its attitude. All Sydney dailies today pub- lished skeleton editions because the strike has held up the unload- ing of newsprint. In Melbourne, the general sec- retary of the Australian Water- side Workers' Federation, James Healy, told a meeting of about 1,600 strikers the nationwide strike was not an 'act of defiance" against Parliament. Prime Minister Robert G. Men- zies Sunday night made a "back to work" broadcast appeal and de- nounced the union as "'Commu- nist-led"" and the strike as a "challenge to Parliament." NAHA, Okinawa (AP)--Some 850 convicts battled police and ward- ens for three hours Sunday night in a wild riot marked by a mass breakout from Naha penitentiary.

Ten of the big four-motor RB-29's 11 crew, members parachuted to safety, moments before their plane crashed in northern Hokkaido, a few miles from the Russian-held Kurile islands. The 11th man drowned in the sea after bailing out. In Washington, the state depart- ment said it was protesting the in- cident to Moscow. In Tokyo, Gen. John E. Hull, U.S. Far East commander, said the direction of the crippled plane's fall "completely negates" any pos- sible Soviet claim that the plane was over Russian territory. He accused the Russians of a "pirat- ical" attack.
