Soviets Propose New Disarmament Plan At Geneva Confab
At Geneva the Soviet Union formally put forward its new arms elimination framework as a basis for discussion at the Disarmament Conference. Valerian Zorin warned that U S and allied air patrols over the Soviet Union hinder progress while Khrushchev’s threats and forceful rhetoric risk raising tensions. The plan seeks destruction of delivery means within 12 to 18 months and total disarmament within four years, with Western diplomats cautious about Moscow’s true intent. A U S note urged redoubled efforts for a world disarmament formula in response to Khrushchev’s proposals.
