Two-Month Recess Set At Geneva Disarmament Talks
The 17 nation Geneva disarmament conference begins a two month recess after a no progress report to the UN. After six months of talks the delegates produced a lengthy preamble to a general treaty and little else. Dean and Kuznetsov co chaired the report noting no progress and warning time to halt the arms race is running out. Western diplomats say the Soviet Union seeks to strengthen its army and nuclear arsenal as a test ban appears unlikely this year. Some neutrals say world disarmament remains a dream as long as Western powers and the Soviet Union fail to unite on a test ban. Kuznetsov agreed to continue three power talks during the recess.
