Big Five Deadlocked Over Arms Control Plan At UN
Lake Success June 3 Five permanent powers failed to agree on a work plan for the UN Commission on Conventional Armaments and adjourned after a four hour session. The meeting failed to set a schedule and the group expected to send a report to the full commission. Soviet deputy minister Andrei Gromyko pressed for linking atomic energy control to armament talks while Western nations resisted. The UN Atomic Energy Commission debated outlawing atomic weapons but backed a convention with controls rather than a blanket ban. Deadlock persisted on inspection, control and veto issues as discussions continued.
