myko announced the Soviet
Union calls for a special ses-
sion Of the United Nations or

could pave the way for an East
West summit meeting again
being urged by Soviet leaders.
"A summit conference of
representatives Of capitalist and
socialist countries could un-
doubtedly help to achieve an
early. positive solution Of these
burning issues and the Soviet
government has made state
ments to this effect before"

manity, including disarma-
ment.r
AS for the offer Of the NATO
conference decided upon in
Paris this week to discuss dis

this to say:

sit again at a conference table

with whom we have patiently
negotiated until now. and to
launch again into sterile nego-
tiations which do not advance
the cause Of disarmament bne
whit"
The West at such a meeting
would put forward terms that
the Soviet Union cannot ac-
cept because they are in no
way conducive to disarma-
ment." Mr.. Gromyko said.
Sees No Useful Result
THE Western powers would
not fail to accuse the Soviet
Union Of refusing to compro-
mise or sabotaging the agree
ment and thus mislead public
