West views Soviet test ban move as propaganda ploy
In Geneva Western diplomats said the Soviet decision to include a nuclear test ban in the disarmament talks was a propaganda tactic with little change to Moscow's stance. Tsarapkin stressed talks must follow Russia's terms, while Khrushchev aims to turn the conference into a summit. Kennedy rejected a Khrushchev meeting.
