Soviets Push Ban On All Chemical Weapons At UN
At the United Nations a Soviet delegate urged a nine nation Soviet backed draft banning both chemical and biological weapons and sought priority for its consideration. President Nixon renounced germ warfare and first use of chemical weapons while aligning with the British draft on biological arms. White House aides said tear gas herbicides and riot control agents would not be removed from U.S. arsenals, a point critics may challenge at Geneva negotiations. Lord Chalfont and Mrs. Alva Myrdal commented on Nixon’s move as a significant step toward eliminating these weapons.
