Chairman John A. McCone of
the Atomic Energy Commission
predicts scientists will achieve
nuclear propulsion of planes
and rockets within 10 years.
He told the Joint Congress
Sional Committee on Atomic
Energy yesterday the projects
to produce "a nuclear-powered
aircraft or the ramjet and a
nuclear rocket engine for space
propulsion" are still in the re-
search and development stage
but somewhat closer" than 10
years.
1T appears to me that the
United States, and other coun-
tries as well particularly the
Soviet Union), have in hand
much of the basic technology
with respect to both the ma
terials and the reactor con-
cepts required for successful
nuclear propulsion of aero

the United States, Britain,

The Western powers insist
that an international police
force is necessary to prevent
big powers imposing their will
on smaller neighbors even after
reducing their armed forces to
an agreed minimum.
Despite his criticism of the
Western plan, Mr.. Zorin in
sisted that RusSia's attitude
on controls is close to that Of
the Western powers.
While Mr.. Zorin was taking
his position Romania, another
Communist power, fell back to
a more rigid attitude.

said his government could not
see the necessity for elaborate

would be set up as a competitor
to the United Nations.

GENEVA, Mar. % (AP).-
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian zorin said today
Russia is willing to negotiate
an international control system
to police all agreed measures"
of an East-WeSt disarmament
treaty.
Western officials at the 10
nation disarmament conference
said there apparently was a
catch in the words agreed
measures" They did not know
exactly what Mr.. zorin meant.
and planned to question him
later.
Mr.. Zorin also said the con-
troll systems international staff
Of inspectors could continue
functioning after disarmament
to guard against secret rearma-
ment by any state. He made
1t clear, however, the Soviet
Union would not agree to any
international control preceding
disarmament.
Western View
The Western powers main
tain that the first step toward
any disarmament treaty should
be a stock-taking of existing
arms and armed forces to de-
termine the starting point for
reductions
Such a stock-taking, Mr..
Zorin declared, would consti-
tute espionage and is unaccept- =
able to the Soviet Union.
Western officials said Mr..
Zorin seemed to accept the
principle of an international
control system, but failed to
make any specific proposals on
how the system would work.
In particular, Western dele
gates were left in doubt
whether the Soviet Union was
ready to allow a census of
armed forces after agreed re-
ductions have been completed.
Mr.. Zorin said the Soviet
Union was ready to negotiate
the establishment of IAN in
ternational control system over
all questions of disarmament,
organized in such a way as to
assure the verification by in
ternational inspectors of the
exact implementation by states
of all agreed measures of dis
armament"
Zorin's Criticism
Mr.. Zorin criticized what he
called Western attempts to "es-
tablish controls without dis
armament.
He described Western de-
mands for a pre-disarmament
census of arms and armed
forces as IAN abstract discus
sion (of controls which is
sterile and futile and cannot
lead to a solution of the prob
lens we face"
