India Presents Plan For Disarmament
GENEVA — (UPI) — India presented a compromise plan today calling for East and West to open their territory to international inspection by gradual stages during a period of general and complete disarmament.
The plan was put before the 30th plenary session of the 17-nation
disarmament conference by Indian delegate Arthur Lall in an effort to bridge the gap between Soviet and Anglo-American stands.
NEITHER AMERICAN DELEGATE Arthur H. Dean nor Soviet delegate Valerian Zorin made any immediate comment on the Indian proposal.
But Western sources said the Indian plan made no mention of control over the amount of armaments left after each stage of reduction, one of the key points of contention between East and West.
Essentially, Lall's plan is intended to provide a compromise between the American demand for zonal inspection of the disarmament process and the Russian refusal to accept the principle of international control.
The American draft outline of a proposed agreement put before the conference April 18 provides for countries to be divided into zones, any of which can be inspected at any time by officials of the proposed International Disarmament Organization.
THE RUSSIANS have rejected that proposal as an attempt by the West to spy on the Soviet Union.
Observers pointed out that Lall's plan accepts the principle of zonal inspection. But it asks the two major powers — the United States and the Soviet Union — to agree that they will "invite" inspection, rather than have to accept it as a "right". Lall said more and more territory would be inspected as disarmament proceeds.
SPU to Get Peace Film
The KU chapter of the Student Peace Union last decided to try to get a film of an atomic testing and disarmament debate between the pro-testing physicist, Edward Teller, and the anti-testing chemist, Linus Pauling.
The group had originally planned to have the two men debate here in person. Larry Laudan, Lawrence senior and acting chairman of the SPU, said he had written to the agency handling the two men's tours but had received no reply.
THE SHOWING of the film was set tentatively for Thursday, May 10. in the Kansas Union. The date will not be set definitely until the SPU finds out whether the film will be available at that time.
Laudan also discussed his attempts to get space in the lobby of the Kansas Union to show films to counteract the films of the Navy recruiters. He said he had discussed the matter with Donald K. Alderson, dean of men who had made the arrangements for the Navy recruiters.
HE SAID Dean Alderson had told him his protest would be seriously considered. Laudan recommended that the SPU not take action until the situation arises again and the meaning of Dean Alderson's "serious consideration" can be determined.
The two films scheduled for use in the lobby of the Union were shown at the meeting.
