West Awaiting Details
Of Russia S Atom Plan
Offer Viewed
AsMojorStep
In Arms Talks

LONDON, June Is (P).-The
Soviet Unions offer to admit
Western inspectors if agreement
is reached on a nuclear test ban
was seen in Western quarters
today as major step forward in
disarmament negotiations. But
they pointed out many details
must be clarified.
! The proposal was put to the
United Nations Disarmament
Subcommittee yesterday by So
Wet Delegate Valerian Zorin He
suggested a two or three year
halt to nuclear tests with an in
ternational committee under the
United Nations to enforce it.
Mr.. Zorin said the Soviet
Union would agree to admit
Western inspectors if there was
agreement to the moratorium on
nuclear tests.
His proposal called for:
/. Cessation of all nuclear
tests for two to three years.
2. Establishment of an inter-
national commission which would
report to the U. N. Security
Council and General Assembly.
3. Establishment of a world
wide system of nuclear control
posts.
Until now the Soviet Union
had rejected Western demands
that any halt to nuclear tests
be backed by inspection. The
SovietS held that the tests could
be ended by a simple agreement
among the H-bomb nations. Bril-
tain, Russia and the United
States.
Important Advance
The immediate reaction from
Western sources was that the
Soviet proposal represented an
important advance but that II
needed to be thought out before
its significance can be judged.
Jules Moch. French repre-
sentative on the subcommittee.
told Mr. Zorin an ending of tests
would be no guarantee to the
halting of production of hydro
gen bombs.
The Western position is that
the scientific knowledge gained
over the years from nuclear tests
could permit the H-bomb race
10 continue. The West insists
that inspection and enforcement
apply to the production of As
Sionable materials as we'll as to
test explosions.
Mr. Zorin gave no reply when
asked by Harold E. Stassen.
United States delegate, if his
proposal represented a change in
Soviet thinking on the ending
of the production of fashionable
materials
The change in the Russian
attitude was foreShadowed by
Communist Party Chief Nikita
Khrushchev at news confer
ence in Helsinkl Thursday. he
said the Soviet Union would
agree TO international inspection
IN the three H-bomb nations if
1t would help ban nuclear tests.
Detection Views Differ
The Soviet proposal may settle
the differences between Western
and Soviet scientists on present
equipment for detecting H-bomb
tests. The Russians say all ex-
ploSions can be detected. West
ern scientists are doubtful. par
ticularly about tests in Siberia
or other remote areas.
But the proposal may be
curtain-raiser for another argu-
ment as TO whether inspectors
will always be able TO detect the
production OF nuclear weapons.
