U N Action On Disarmament Urged At UN Talks
Harold E Stassen plans to press Soviet delegate A A Sobolev to join a major effort to end the nine year deadlock on disarmament as the UN Disarmament Commission opens a ten day session at New York. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr will open the subcommittee meeting with Stassen taking over for the talks. Other Western participants include Anthony Nutting Iles Moch and Paul Martin. The Soviet plan proposes observation posts to deter clandestine atomic moves but seeks to bar nuclear weapons before inspection and to abandon U S overseas bases. Nutting brings Eden style steps toward nuclear control. Interlinked Anglo French plans seek arms limits with a pledge not to use nuclear weapons except in defense.
