London, Dec. 12.-Pressure is
increasing on the government Of

to curb the practice of free immi-

It is one of the cherished prin-

But members of Parliament here

Arms Talk Resumption
Rejected by Russians

MOSCOW, July q (AP).-
The Soviet government has re-
jected a United States appeal
to resume disarmament talks
at Geneva. The Russians
charged Washington with lying
in blaming Russia for the
breakup of the donation East
West conference.
In a note published today by
the Soviet News Agency Tass,
the Soviet Foreign Ministry at
tackled a revised disarmament
plan the United States was pre-
pairing to present at Geneva as
the Communists quit the meet
ing June 81.
THE new disarmament plan
proposed by the United States
is only a slightly garnished,
hurriedly compiled version of
the old Western plan submitted
to the donation committee on
March 16." the note said. It
added that discussion of the
plan at Geneva would have
been pointless.
The note was delivered on
Monday to the United States
charge d'affairs here, Tass said,
in reply to a July 2 note from
Washington accusing Russia of
torpedoing the conference.
Similar notes were sent by
other western participants in
the talks.
These assertions" the
Soviet note said, ARE mere lies
fabricated by United States
Government circles with the
object of juStifying the OBJ
structive attitude they adopted
in the donation committee.
The Soviet sent similar re-
plies to Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan of Britain, President
Charles de Gaulle of France
and Prime Minister John Die
fenbaker of Canada. Soviet
Premier Khrushchev wrote to
them personally.
But President Eisenhower re-
fused to send Mr.. KhruShchev
a personal note, so the Soviet
reply to the United States was
addressed to the United States
Embassy.

would be far too low.
Under the proposal made by
Russian negotiator Sennyon K.
Tsarapkin, the Soviet Union
would be allowed to check on
suspicious earth tremors that
might be secret underground
nuclear explosions.
Britain and the United States
favor an annual quota of about
20 inspections. But Mr.. Tsarap-
kin said this would be much
too high, unrealistic and I'M
acceptable"
He agreed, however, that the
three-inspection figure could be
revised two years after any
treaty comes into effect, "in
the light of experience"
The Soviet Union, which sees
in control measures a Western
attempt to legalize spying, has
insisted that Western inspectors

Soviet territory whenever the
proposed control systems in
struments recorded a suspicious
tremor.
The Russians originally in
sisted on the right to veto any
inspection on their territory.
Then Mr.. Tsarapkin offered
to drop the veto if the West
agreed that the number of on
site inspections be fixed in adj
vance at a 'low" annual quota.
The Western powers agreed
to the quota idea and asked
Mr.. Tsarapkin for the number
he had in mind. That was IS
months ago.
