are known factors which prevent
our being optimistic about the
prospect of rapidly converting the
musk ox into a commercial ani
mal. However, it is possible that
further experimentation over a pe
riod of time may demonstrate that1
the musk ox can be domesticated. (
If that highly desirable objective
should be attained, Alaska may1
have in the musk oxen—a poten
tial source of both meat and wool
—an asset of considerable worth.”

Russia Charges U.S.
Atomic Control
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. </P)—
Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromy
ko charged today that one nation,
apparently the United States, is
trying to establish a monopoly on
atomic energy.
Reading in English from a 29
page manuscript, Gromyko said
there had been little comment in
the United Nations security coun
cil on Russia’s proposals for a con
vention to abolish atomic weapons
now and a later convention to set
up controls and safeguards for
peaceful use of atomic energy.
The delegates listened closely to
Gromyko’s slowly spoken delivery
of a statement hailed in advance
as a major policy speech.
