Five Atomic Powers
Begin Control Talks
On Hydrogen Bomb
BY the Asseeiosed Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
April "a The five leading
atomic powers began private
talks yesterday looking toward
control of such weapons as the
hydrogen bomb.
They fell into disagreement
when the Soviet Union proposed
to bring in India. Red China and
CzechoSlovakia, but they agreed
to go on with discussions in
London May 13.
A special subcommittee of the
12-nation United Nations Dis
armament Commission held its
first meeting with the United
States. Britain. France, Canada
and the Soviet Union repre-
sented.
Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vi
shinsky said he still thought
India, Communist China and
Czechoslovakia must be included
to insure the success of the
subcommittee's work.
Lodge Differs Sharply.
United States Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge. jr., differing
sharply. held that the main
thing was agreement to avoid
being exploded into total de-
struction."
This all became known when
the delegates emerged from
three hours and 48 minutes of
discussions behind closed doors.
They had agreed on most pro-
cedural arrangements quickly.
United States and British spokes-
men reported. and then begged
down in argument over what
to say in a communique.
Mr.. VishinSky wanted his re-
marks mentioned. Mr.. Lodge in
sisted that if this was done his
reply also must be mentioned.
They could not agree, and the
subcommittee finally decided to
let each delegate tell whatever
he pleased.
Vishinsky in Statement.
Mr.. Vishinsky handed out q
typewriter statement repeating
what he had said before the dis
armament commission set up
the subcommittee Monday.
He told the delegates the re-
fusal of the United States.
Britain and other countries to
accept his proposal for additional
members creates serious diff
culties as to the implementation
of the tasks facing the subcom-
mittee as regards finding an
agreed solution on the question
of the reduction of armaments
and the prohibition of atomic
weapons"
The Soviet delegate said. "The
subcommittee has been set up
on a one-sided basis"
Mr.. Lodge read to reporters
the clause he had sought to have
included in a communique should
MIR. Vishinsky's remarks also be
recorded. tr.
How Clause Reads.
"The United States representa-
tive" this clause read. dis
agreed with the Soviet repre-
sentative's idea about compost
ton and expressed his hope that
all of us, whatever our disagree
ment on other matters. could
agree on our dislike Of the pros
pect of being exploded into total
destruction"
Mr.. Lodge said he wanted this
in for balance land also to show
his (Vishinsky's) approach was
political and not aimed at the
realities of the situation"
Under instructions from the
commission and the 60-nation
General Assembly. the subcom-
mittee is to seek limitation Of
armaments and armed forces
and prohibition of atomic. hydro
gen. bacterial. chemical and "all
