Soviet Rejects Plan on Atom Ban at Geneva
The Soviet Union formally rejected Eisenhower's plan to ban all but small underground tests while offering new concessions for an all inclusive test ban treaty. Tsarapkin said Russia would not accept the basis for negotiations but would allow inspection teams for recorded events suspected of underground blasts if the west accepts a fixed small annual number of inspections. Western officials welcomed the inspection idea but doubted a large number would be agreed. The concession suggests underground blasts are hard to identify, a point Soviet scientists had disputed previously.
