Formula for U.S. Atomic Control Approved by U.N. Commission; Churchill Hits Burma Freedom

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., December 20--The United States atomic control plan was approved in principle today by the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission over strenuous Russian objections which prompted delegate Andrei A. Gromyko to withdraw dramatically from the discussion.

The vote, first taken on an atomic plan since the commission took up the problem last June 14, represented a partial victory for American delegate Bernard M. Baruch, who had persistently demanded a yes-or-no ballot on his far-reaching proposal.

Baruch finally yielded and agreed to a Canadian compromise which provided for acceptance in principle and called upon a working committee to make the wording conform to the arms reduction resolution recently passed by the General Assembly.

The final vote was 10 to 0, with Poland abstaining.
