U.S., Soviet Union propose ocean floor nuclear treaty
GENEVA - The United States and the Soviet Union yesterday jointly proposed a new international arms control treaty to ban nuclear weapons from the ocean floor. It was termed "man's latest frontier" by President Nixon.
The proposed pact, introduced at the first Geneva disarmament session in eight months, would compliment already existing treaties barring nuclear weapons in outer space and Antarctica.
The intention to negotiate the new treaty was announced in messages to the 17-nation conference from President Nixon and Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin.
Nixon said the proposed agreement would "prevent an arms race before it has a chance to start." He aided, "it would ensure that this potentially
In his message, Kosygin said, "It would be highly important to bring about agreement to the effect that the seabed and the ocean floor are not to be used for military purposes but remain a sphere of man's peaceful activities."
Both the United States and the Soviet Union proposed a nuclear-free seabed treaty last year, and Western officials said it had been privately agreed by the two nations to make the idea the number one objective at the present disarmment meeting.
Kosygin sent the conference a draft text of such a treaty which had been seen beforehand by the United States, including officials said, President Nixon himself.
The two nations believe the
treaty stands the best chance of an early agreement to follow the nuclear nonproliferation pact successfully negotiated at the Geneva disarmament conference last year.
Nixon's message, read by the new. U.S. chief negotiator, Gerard C. Smith, also mentioned these other possible areas of negotiation:
- A comprehensive nuclear test ban with adequate verification. (The Soviets continue to reject any idea of on-site inspection.)
- Cutting off the production of fissionable materials for nuclear weapons.
- Exploration of controls on chemical and bacteriological weapons.
- Moving towards "actual reduction of armaments and not merely limiting their growth or spread."
British force show expected at Anguilla
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua — Two British frigates with 210 paratroopers aboard sailed from this Caribbean island last night apparently toward the rebel Commonwealth island of Anguilla, where they were expected to deal with the island's secession by show of armed force.
UPI correspondent Donald Becker reported from Anguilla, about 90 miles and an easy four-hour sail away, that there were no apparent preparations
The two frigates, Rothesay and Minerva, weighed anchor at 10:30 p.m. carrying the "Red Devil" paratroops equipped with combat gear and riot control equipment.
for defense of the island. Becker reported most of the islanders were calm and expressed doubts the British would invade, but many also said they would fight if an invasion occurred.
The passage of the British force through here created a storm of political protest. The soldiers were greeted by catcalls of "Hired murderers!" "Go to Rhodesia!" and "Shame on Mother England!" Opposition party members announced as the British left that a massive rally would be held in the streets today.
In Anguilla, acting President Ronald Webster had vowed earlier yesterday to defend the island's independence and greet
Jet crash kills 151
MARACAIBO, Venezuela The death toll from history's worst aviation disaster reached 151 yesterday, and Zulia University Hospital officials said there was little hope of saving 24 other persons critically burned when a Venezuelan Viasa jetliner crashed into a suburban residential district Sunday.
Rescue workers continued sifting through the charred rubble of low income homes destroyed by the impact of the DC9 plane and the fire caused by its 24,000 gallons of flaming fuel that spread over a 10-square-block area. Police said

U. S. diplomatic and police officials joined Venezuelan authorities in identifying the bodies of the 87 persons aboard the plane and in an investigation of the crash.
any invader with a volley of grapeshot from two ancient pirate's cannon. But Becker reported he saw no such cannon at the ready nor any signs of serious defense mobilization anywhere on the island.
Webster, asked again by Becker what he planned to do to meet any invasion, said "We cannot say what will be the immediate response."

A KENNEDY LANDSLIDE
That's what we need in 1972.
By then Senator Kennedy will have served ten years in the United States Senate. His growth has been phenomenal - growth in knowledge, in stature, in his search for excellence as his brothers searched before him.
He would bring to the Presidency youth, vitality, a forward look, and the important ability to attract unusually capable men to his administration.
Richard Nixon began his campaign immediately after Johnson was elected. We have no desire to undermine the new Administration, but like President Nixon, we believe in the principle of loyal opposition.
We hope Ted will become a candidate. We believe that there is no finer leadership in the country. If you agree and want your opinion heard, help to win a great mandate for Ted.
Start now by displaying an unusual 1¾" x 2¾" oblong KENNEDY-IN-72 button or an attractive KENNEDY-IN-72 bumper sticker (for great on walls, doors, windows). Send $1 for any 2 items of your choice to:
