UN Rejects Disarmament Debate Plan in Assembly
United Nations officials report the General Assembly Political Committee rejected a Soviet bid for a quick disarmament debate with a 49 to 55 vote to proceed on studying atomic radiation hazards. The move follows a 53 to 0 vote approving steps to establish an international atomic energy agency. The debate, urged by Soviet deputy foreign minister V. V. Kuznetsov, was seen by Western delegates as hindering Geneva talks among the Big Four. U.S. delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. cautioned waiting for more information, noting disarmament remains a priority but not yet timely. President Eisenhower’s position was cited as supportive of substantial discussion later. The proposal arose after Colombia’s Francisco Urrutia suggested addressing atomic radiation dangers.
