ARMS MEETING
IS ADJOURNED
Russian Represen I a
Scores Sessions As Being
Absurd And Useless

GENEVA, May 6.-tP-The pre-
paratory disarmament commission
adjourned today with the next move
toward disarmament awaiting &C
ton by the big five naval powers.
In adjourning. the commission
left the date Of the next meeting
open, but with the understanding
1t would be convened anew when
the naval nations announce they
have achieved enough progress to-
wards q naval agreement 10 JUS
tify summoning Of what Is expect
ing to be the last session Of the
commission before convocation Of
an international conference on
disarmament.
One semi humorous, semi-ser-
ious incident marked the closing
moments Of the session.
While Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet
vice foreign commiSsar. in a final
speech was scourging the work Of
the session as absurd and useless,
flames suddenly shot up from the
conference table in front OF the
French delegation. A delegate had
thrown a lighted match on a leaky
gasoline cigarette lighter. There
was a recoil Of the delegates as
the flames scared, but General
Requin Of the French group seized
the huge tray where the fire was
centralized and bore it to the win
dow.
NJ. Litvinoff attacked what he
felt was tine negative character Of
the commissions activities and de-
manded that an international dis
armament conference be called as
early as possible when he hoped
the peoples votes for real disarma-
ment could be heard.
The commission adopted a Jap
anese proposal to postpone further
consideration OF the naval chap
ter OF the draft treaty so IS TO
permit direct conversations between
the five powers.
IN his valedictory address Chair
man Politis of Greece insisted tie
conference had achieved appre-
ciable results and expressed GER
tainty the American naval sugges-
tons would have q happy influence
ON the outcome of the ~endeavors
TO reduce armament burdens.
