Eisenhower plan eyed in U N talks on atomic energy
White House and State Department officials hope Bohren's message persuades Soviet leaders to explore the Eisenhower proposal in secret U N talks in New York. The United States is ready to consider constructive Soviet counter proposals. Eisenhower urged that the four atomic powers share uranium stockpiles to form a new international agency to develop peacetime uses of atomic energy, potentially paving the way for eventual international control of atomic weapons. A Moscow radio critic attacked the plan, but U S officials view the critique as propaganda, noting a Moscow dispatch saying Soviet circles received the speech with deep interest and believe it deserves study.
