Russia May Get Chance To Boycott Arms Parley
Washington reports Russia may boycott the United Nations Disarmament Commission next month as the United States and allies near agreement on a March meeting of the 25-nation group. If Russia refuses to attend the deadlock over disarmament could be referred to the U N Security Council. The Eisenhower administration plans to reassign disarmament duties after Harold Stassen’s resignation, with James J. Wadsworth and Philip J. Farley among likely appointees. The State Department says talks with other governments continue but no decisions have been reached, and U S aims to join the enlarged U N commission. The 25-nation group formed after East-West wrangling with the aim of a disarmament settlement. The Russians oppose a group including themselves and insist on broader bloc representation.
