HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.

(P) Release of a ile of secret documents exchanged between Washington and Moscow disclosed tonight the United States and Russia were deadlocked from the start in their negotiations President Eisenhower's proposal for peaceful development of atomic energy on a worldwide basis. v- -rd -J The documents were made public simultaneously in U.N.

The action appeared to mark the end of the negotiations, although both governments held the door open to further ex changes if either has anything to say.

Two points stand out in the lengthy compilation of messages and memoranda released by the State Department: 1 The United States argued from the first that Eisenhower's plan was designed primarily to promote international coopera itn in Vi atnmio onprntr and to create the trust and con- fidence that might lead to a solution of the atomic disarma- designed to solve that problem itself, Secretary of State Dulles repeatedly emphasized. oufim 2 The Soviet Union con- tended that the Eisenhower plan was inadeauate because it would not provide for control or limi- tation of atomic weapons and that therefore it was essential first to have a declaration ban nine the use of such weaoons.

The report of the special com mittee that investigated censure charges against Senator McCar thy was described by one sen a tor today as likely to draw critical conclusions on counts, bui to leave to the Sen ate itself whether censure warranted. This senator, who is not member of the six-man invest! gating committee and who de clined to be quoted by name, said he understands the com mittee's rerxrt will stop short of any outright recommendation that McCarthy be censured.

He said his information is, however, that it win contain some "sharply critical language about the Wisconsin Republican He declined to the source of his information.

The Denver Post, in a copy- righted story irom was rung-ton, reported here tonight that the Watkins committee will recommend Senate censure of Senator McCarthy "for his contempt and abuse of his colleagues," and that the committee is "highly critical of. the Wisconsin senator for his possession of a confidential FBI document" erams were sent by J. roars: Trice.

He added, without giving any Inkling of the contents of the report that this would be its "final effect" SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY Described as some 60,000 words in length, the report is said to summarize the testimony taken at nine days of public hearings as well as to set out the committee's findings and conclu sions.

Hearings were held on 13 charges, grouped into five cate gories, from among 46 filed by Senators Flanders Vt), Ful- bright (D- Ark.) and Morse (Ind. The charges on which the committee took testimony were that McCarthy had shown con tempt for a Senate subcommittee that investigated him in 1951- 952. had defamed some of his colleagues, abused a decorated Army general, urged federal employees to furnish him with secret information, and had made use of information illegally obtained from a secret FBI document.

Briggs flatly denied that Utah has ever filed an application fori certificate of eligibility. "We do have a form, called 'subdivision with exhibits showing an analysis and a master plan for the Bay Farm Island project," Briggs said. "That is all we have ever received."

UP) Secretary of State Dulles took off tonight for London and a showdown with French Premier Mendes France on rearming West Germany He warned that the United States would not continue to "gamble" its sur vival on a European defense system that failed to provide genuine security.

Dulles and a party of advi sers left on a special military plane at p.m. EST. He is due in London Sunday afternoon for immediate talks with Mendes-France, British Foreign Secretary Eden and German Chancellor Adenauer on granting sovereignty to West Germany. Either in those talks or in the nine-nation conference opening Tuesday, Dulles has the task of determining whether in his judgment Mendes-France sin cerely wants to rearm Germany under a reasonable system of safeguards or whether he is simply stalling on an issue that is highly controversial in France. TEST OF DD7LOMACY The trip will add approxi mately 6,000 miles to the total of mileage which Dulles has logged in all parts of the world since he took office.

It will provide a major test of his personal diplomacy, for as his departure statement made -clear the United States and. its Western Allies stand in his opinion at a crossroads in the -struggle to gain security against Soviet power. Dulles and other American leaders have always insisted that German'rearmament in as sociation with-the North At lantic Alliance is absolutely es sential to an adequate defense of Western Europe. His words in advance of de parture for London provided stern warnings to Mendes France that if Germany is not rearmed with French coopera tkm the United Staes will have to consider alternative security plans. Dulles' statement on the eve of so important a conference as the nine-power Londori meeting was an outspoken one as diplomatic documents usually go.

He Is going to London hope ful that Mendes France will agree to some workable plan for fitting West Germany into the western defense system, not only militarily but politically as well. HEART OF VJS. STAND Dulles bared the heart of the U.S. approach to the problem in these blunt for diplomacy words: "Most Americans have come to realize that it is no longer possible to turn back the clock and seek security through iso lation.

Henry W. Robinson, San Francisco attorney who represented the buyers in the $4,302,000 pur chase of the- Bishop holdings, said the homes will sell for about $15,000. The Bishop property near here was one of the -last single large holdings in Contra Costa County. The actual purchase included two ranches-the local one, apd a Santa Barbara property known as Corona Del Mar Ranch. Robinson said the Bishop com pany will be liquidated, and the Santa Barbara ranch sold, permitting the syndicate to concentrate on the Warren Park project.
