European Correspondent of The Star
PARIS, June 18.-Of all the
subjects which are certain to
be discussed at the summit
Big Four conference at Geneva
the question of disarmament
is the one on which the West
is most woefully unprepared and
disunited.
The disarmament question has
yet to be mentioned by Western
leaders as a possible subject oi
discussion at Geneva. The omis-
sion is remarkable in the light
of a series of Russian statements
which leave little doubt the So
Wet team will pin its major
case on this question.
Major Objection
So far as can be learned here,
the major objection to talking
about disarmament is American
The British and French are be-
lieved to be more than willing
to explore a subject on which
a very wide area of agreement
already exists between the East
and West. Beyond this, they
are inclined to think it is pre-
cisely on this question of dis
armament that the new look
in Russian policy shows up most
clearly and that no possible sub
ject of the discussion at the
summit holds more promise.
In fact, the area of agreement
that has existed since Soviet
Delegate Malik's speech before
the U. N. Disarmament Commis-
sion on May 10 is startling ir
its implications.
The Western allies and Russis
apparently now see eye to eye
on:
/. Reducing conventional.
forces in two stages to agreed
levels. At the end Of the process
the United States, Russia anc
China would have total armed
forces of between one millior
and is million men each. The
limit for Britain and France
would be 650,000. Correspond.
|ingly lower levels for Other
countries would be fixed by

Officials Tackle
Potomac Bridge
Costs Problem
Roosevelt Island
Project Is Surveyed
By Commissioners
By GEORGE BEVERIDGE

Cost estimates may be the de-
termining factor in proposals to
come before the Commissioners
tomorrow for a new Potomac
River bridge over the north tip
Of Roosevelt Memorial Island.
The money angle - with the
District probably picking UP the
tab - certainly will get major
attention from city officials.
Federal officials, while they
haven't seen details, and may
not like some Of them. are
friendly to the new bridge
scheme. An Interior Department
official predicted yesterday that
his department would approve
and said it had, in fact, proposed
a similar plan only a few months
ago.
The influential Federal Budget
Bureau has made plain that it
wants the new study to be
agreed upon.
Busy With Bridge Proposal
City highway officials worked
all day yesterday and will put
in another full day today on a
plan for the new bridge and its
connections, how mueh it would
cost and how we'll it would meet
traffic demands.
The new idea, given virtually
no study during the more than
two years the Potomac bridge
squabble has dragged out, sud-
denly mushroomed into a major
possibility last week because of
esthetic objections to the Con-
stitution avenue bridge which
Congress already has approved.
The District Commissioners
have been given until Wednes-
day to tell Senator Stennis,
Democrat. of Mississippi whether
there is any merit to the scheme.
who would agree to. it and
whether Congress should con-
slider authorization of any con-
struction money for next year.
Ambitious Timetable
Engineer Commissioner Thorn
as A. Lane, who won't get any
real data on the possibilities un-
til tomorrow, said he is hope
full of meeting the deadline.
Here is his admittedly am
bilious timetable:

will get a rundown on the plan
and its costs. They may take q
fiat yes-or-no position, or may
condition a decision on later f.
