Russia Seeks U N Disarmament Plan Start for Talks
In Geneva the Soviet Union urged breaking the deadlock of the 16 nation disarmament conference by negotiating on the U N General Assembly resolution for general and complete disarmament. Valerian Zorin proposed dropping both sides plans and using the U N text as a starting point while Western powers favored the Western plan as a basis for talks. The exchange highlighted East West rifts over what the U N resolution truly requires. Western Canadian Lt Gen Burns urged using the Western plan to begin negotiations on weapons and manpower reductions. A Western spokesman called Zorin’s main speech an intransigent rejection of most Western proposals.
