Dulles Outlines
Broader Arms !.
Inspection Plan
Would Include All
Of U. S. and Russia
Most Of Europe

Foster Dulles proposed today
that all Of the United States.
all Of the Soviet Union and
most Of Europe be exposed to
aerial and ground inspection as
q safeguard against sneak nu-
clear attacks.
Speaking on behalf Of the
West, the United States Secre-
tary Of State broadened the
Vests open skies" proposal in
a dramatic bid to break an
East-West deadlock in the
United Nations Subcommittee
on Disarmament.
Under the Western plan So
Wet planes would be allowed
to fly over United States and
Western territory and Soviet
ground inspectors could check
seaports. rail functions. main
highways and air11elds to ex-
pose any warlike nuclear moves.
Western powers would have
similar rights throughout the
Soviet Union.
Approval Of All Needed
Mr.. Dulles had worked four
days to get agreement on the
plan among the Western mem
bers Of the subcommittee
Britain. France. Canada and
the United States. There had
been broad but incomplete
agreement before President Ell
Senhower sent him here Mon
day to put steam into the
talks.
The Vests proposal was that
q broadened open skies plan
might be established when q
FIRST stage" agreement on dis
armament comes into force.
The Western powers empha-
sized that the approval Of all
nations affected would be re-
quired.
Mr.. Dulles flrst proposed:
"a. That all the territory Of
the continental United States.
all Alaska. including the Aleu-
tan Islands, all the territory
of Canada and all the territory
Of the USSR will be open to
inspection.
B. If the government Of the
Soviet Union rejects this broad
proposal, to which is related
the proposal for inspection Of
Europe referred to below, the
four powers with the consent Of
the governments Of Denmark
and Norway proposed that:
IAN the territory north Of
the Arctic Circle of the Soviet
Union. Canada, the United
States (AlaskO Denmark
(Greenland) and Norway: All
the territory of Canada, the
United States and the Soviet
Union west Of 140 degrees west
longitude. east Of 160 degrees
longitude, and north Of so de-
grees north latitude: All the
remainder Of Alaska, all the
remainder of the Kamchatka
Peninsula: And all Of the Aleu-
tian and Kurile Islands. will be
open to inspection.
European Inspection
Section two.
"2. With regard to inspec-
ton in Europe, provided there
is commitment on the part OF
the Soviet Union to one Of the
two foregoing proposals. the
governments of Canada,
France, the United Kingdom
and the United States with the
concurrence in principle OF
their European allies and in
continuing consultation with
them, subject to the indis-
pensible consent Of the coun-
tries concerned and to any
mutually agreed exceptions,
propose that an area including
all Of Europe bounded in the
south by latitude 40 degrees
north and in the west by 10
degrees west longitude and in
the east by so degrees east
longitude will be open to in
spection."
This European zone to be
opened to inspection would
take in virtually the entire Eu-
ropean land mass excepting
the southern half of Spain and
Portugal, the toe Of Italy, the
southern tip Of Yugoslavia and
Greece. the southern two
thirds Of Turkey and Russia's
northern approaches to Iran.
