Disarmament Debate Gives Reds Fine Chance To Pose
The United Nations Security Council debates disarmament and atomic control with Russia urging general disarmament first and the United States seeking a commission to study disarmament separate from atomic weapons. Many nations want an early report on an international police force and say no progress is possible without general security machinery.
