Russia Accuses U.S. of Nuclear Rule Violations at UN
At the 17 nation disarmament conference in Geneva, Russia charged the United States with violating the 1963 nuclear test ban and contaminating coastal waters after a B52 crash off Spain last month. Moscow linked these charges to blocking a treaty to curb nuclear arms by offering West Germany atomic access. U.S. negotiator Foster rejected the accusations as unfounded propaganda. The Soviet lead cited a Kremlin memorandum recalling the Jan 17 collision over Spain involving a nuclear B52 and a Keel 35 refueler.
