BE2LGRADE, Yugoslavia — Mar¬ shal l^to laat night handed the Hungarian ambaasador a note ac¬ cusing Hungary and tha Soviet Union of organizing a "baae plot" to overthrow Tito's government.
Th* note, which Tito gav* pcr- aoitally to the Hungarian ambaa- sador, aaid Hungary and Soviet Russia wanted to replace the pres¬ ent Yugoslav government with an¬ other "servile satellite."
Thck nota charged that Hungarian aircraft had violated Yugoalav ter¬ ritory. It was thc first time the Yugoslav* have made such a charge against a Cominform country on the north although aimilar charge* have been levelled at Albania.

"The Hungarian government has joined thc plot organized by the government of thc USSR with the aim of overthrowing the lawful government of Yugoslavia and dis¬ rupting the socialist order in Yugo¬ slavia," thc note aaid. GaUs Hungary Servile
It aaid the aim also was to im¬ pose a "government" on the peoples of Yugoslavia "which would be made ap from a group servile to thc USSR and which would accept unequal relations and subjugation auch as the govern ment of the USSR ha* imposed upon Hungary and other peoples democracies."

to a statement he made before the House-Senate atomic energy com¬ mittee on July 6. He knew then that Russia would one day make atomic weapons. He knew then that the United Nations' failure to agree on a world atomic contro' plan, which he had helped to draft, meant an atomic armamenta race was Inevitable. Wanta U. S. to VtmA
Speaking for his fellow commis¬ sioners about the attitude with' which they assumed control of the bultl-bllllon-dolllar atomic project two years ago, and their attitude now, he aaid:
"We believe a* one man, and the President, our immediate superior, believes that wc should let nothing stand In th* way of arming this country atomically in such a way a* to erect a great deterrent to aggression in the world; that we should establish unquestioned and unmistakable leadership, and in this way thus to buy time for rea¬ son to prevail.
Thl* meant that atomic produc¬ tion had to "be drastically stepped up." It wa*. K meant that the United States "muat became «. na¬ tion which had a leadership un¬ mistakable     and     unquestioning."
