measure only"

he added.
The U. N. Command contends
the Czechs and Poles have OBJ
structed the neutral commission
from performing its duty of
checking all military personnel
and equipment brought into
North Korea. AS a result. the
Communists have put through a
massive military buildup in the
north in violation of the truce,
the allies say.
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee said recently United

promised him year ago Sthe
United States would seek peace

The plan proposes closing
down four Of the 10 ports of
entry now inspected for intro
duction of military equipment.
In addition to eliminating the
four inspection teams--at Kang-
hung and Kunsan in South
Korea and Chongjin and Hung
nam in North Korea-the plan
would halve the size of the H.
to-14-man teams.

90 (P.-Delegates from the Biz
-Four and Canada gathered today
for a new round Of disarmament
talks. The meetings provide the
first major test of the improve.
ment in relations between the
West and Russia since the Gene.
va Summit Conference.
The f1ve-poNer subcommittee
Of the United Nations Disarma.
ment Commission was to meet
this afternoon at U. N. head
quarters, to expand and discuss
proposals made at the Geneva
meeting.
Chief among new ideas ad-
vanced at Geneva was President
Eisenhower's proposal that the
United States and Russia ex-
change blueprints Of their mill
tary establishments and allow
each other to inspect these in
stallationS from the air. The
Russians have been cool to the
suggestion, although Soviet Pre-
mier Bulganin later took pains to
emphasize his government had
not rejected it.
Hopeful Atmosphere
A United States spokesman
said before the opening session
today that while his Government
felt the general atmosphere
since Geneva added q hopeful
element to the new negotiations,
quick agreement was not antici-
pated.
Instead the Western and So
Wet delegates were expected to
lay the groundwork for higher
level disarmament negotiations
by the Big -Four Foreign Minis
tiers at their meeting scheduled
in Geneva October 81.
In Moscow, the Soviet govern
ment newspaper Izvestia cited
Russia's acceptance last spring
Of the French-British proposal
for phased reduction Of conven-
tional armed forces. Izvestia
said the Soviets are nov en-
titled" to expect Western conces-
sions to the persistent Russian
demand for a ban on atomic
weapons.
A United States spokesman
said the American delegation
would insist-as it always has
In the past-that a comprehen-
sive inspection system be set up
to assure as far as possible COM
pliance with any disarmament
plan agreed on.
Lodge viii Speak
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., chief
United States delegate to the
u.N., prepared an opening Ameri-
can statement to the conference
Then he was to withdraw, leav-
ing Harold E. Stassen, President
Eisenhower's special adviser on
disarmament, as the chief Ameri-
can representative.
Other delegates to the meet
ing were Anthony Nutting, Bril-
fish Minister of State; Jules
Moch, Socialist member OF
Frances parliament and foe OF
German rearmament; Arkady A.
Spbolev, Soviet delegate to the
U.N.; and Paul Martin, Canada S
Minister of Health.
Mr.. Lodge sat in meetings of
the subcommittee at London for
a short time last spring. Mr.. So
bolev and Mr.. Stassen, who held
an unprecedented private pre-
liminary chat Saturday and ar
ranged to lunch together before
today's session, are newcomers
to the group.
The meetings were ordered
