Stresses Official Statements
Mr.. Stassen volunteered that
during the subcommission meet
|ings he had emphasized that the
Soviet Union. In trying to ufl-
|derstar1d American policy. should
regard as official only the state
|ments Of the President, the Sec

formal American delegations,
Seldom, II ever" Mr.. Stassen
said, do foreign countries under
stand the separation Of our exec
Iutive and legislative branches.
1T would be unheard Of in
other countries for the chatham
Iof a parliamentary committee

statements that are not in accord

but mat happens regularly In
this country
Mr.. Stassen, who has repre-.
scented the United States during
intensive negotiations Of the dis
armament subcommission since
the summit meeting in Geneva
in July. left for Washington after
the news conference.
The subcommission, ending its
current series of talks last night
conceded that In the last two
months of negotiations it had
accomplished little except to
complete some feeling -out proc
iesses that will be helpful to the
Foreign Ministers Conference
and discussing the disarmament
problems.
All five members of the sub
commission. however, stuck to
their expressed belief that
progress can be made II the
major powers attack the multi
tudinous problems with good
win. patience and persistence.
These views were expressed in
Isum-up statements made by each
Iof the suhcominission members
the United States, Soviet Union,
Great Britain, France and Cam
ada.
Nutting Asks Scientist Aid
Anthony Nutting of Great Brit
ain proposed at the closing ses-
sion that scientists of each of
the subcommission members Join
in trying to solve some of the
scientific Nightmares that cause
the diplomats to fret.
1T Is a problem which has
been created by science" Mr..
Nutting said. land am Of the
opinion that we might usefully
enlist the aid Of scientists in
dealing with it.
Il should therefore like to
suggest that we consider setting
up group Of imminent scien-
lists representing each Of our
countries. Such a group might
lusefully confer and produce an
authoritative report on the facts
iof the situation today.
/ at could also set in motion q
continuing study OF the possible
tiles Of finding q means to break
Through the barrier which al
present confronts US In seeking
Ito insure that nuclear disarma-
Iment is q reality and not a fake.
/ The West. particularly the
United States. has been insisting
that the great powers agree upon
a system of inspection before
actual disarmament begins. The
inspection system would aim al
guaranteeing that neither side
could start surprise aggression
I The scientific devices and
techniques that might be needed
for carrying out this inspection
however. become so complex that
the American diplomats felt they
needed advice from specialists.
| With this in mind. Mr.. Stassen
announced the following leaders
of task forces:
| DR.. Ernest o. Lawrence. direc-
tor Of the University Of Cali
fornia radiation laboratories al
Livermore. Calf. to head a large
panel of distinguished nuclear
physicists who will study wheth-
er there is any scientific way
of detecting hidden stockpiles
of atomic materials or weapons.
i Retired Gen. James II. Doo-
little, vice president Of the Shell
