Western summit hopes clouded by disarmament debate
British official Joan Russell disputed Khrushchev's claim that Macmillan assured a summit. She said no positive guarantee existed for a 1961 meeting and that Macmillan favored a system of arms control to be tested before possible relaxation. Russell also denied a rush to delay disarmament and noted the aim to accelerate the program. Khrushchev hailed the UN session as momentous and questioned majority rule on key questions. Novotny and Gomulka were reported to be leaving New York, with Khrushchev possibly departing to Glen Cove after addressing the Assembly.
