United States Proposes 10 Million Linked Arms Cut Plan
The United States would slash armed forces to 2,100,000 if Russia does the same, part of a three stage Western plan presented to the Soviet Union at Geneva talks. It calls for an international disarmament agency, a halt to nuclear weapons production, and reduction of all nations' armies to security level. Khrushchev proposes a rival plan aiming for total disarmament with initial ceilings of 1,700,000 for the U S R and 650,000 for Britain and France. Russia's force stands at 3,623,000 with 11,200,000 to be demobilized soon. U S forces numbered 2,500,817 last December. The Soviet government accuses NATO of blocking world disarmament with plans for a nuclear strike force.
