Relations Committee, which is
considering the nuclear test ban
treaty, are demanding they have
the opportunity to take hard
look" at far-reaching disarma-
ment proposals circulating in top
levels of the Kennedy admins
tration.
These second, third, and
fourth step" proposals, some of
which already have been dis
cuSsed with the Kremlin, range
from a "pay-as-you-go' disarm-
ament inspection plan to in
creased trade and aid in i'm
proving the Soviets dragging
agriculture.
Assistant Defense Secretary
Eugene Ghiron Fubini holding
down one Of the most security
sensitive jobs in the Pentagon,
is advocating the "pay-as-you-
go" disarmament inspection
project.
Propounded as a concept to
break the protracted inspec-
ton stalemate. under Fubini S
unique proposal the U. S.
would pay Russia fee Of from
So million to $50 million for the
right to inspect suspected viola
tons Of nuclear test ban or
disarmament agreement.
Russia would do the same in
instances where it sought in
spections. Neither country would
pay anything in the event a Vi
olation was uncovered.
Fubini, who recently admitted
to the Armed Services Com
mittee that he had been a dues
paying member of a Fascist or
ganization while a student in
Italy, discussed his ingenious in
spectlon proposal at a meeting
with government and nongov-
eminent scientists.
Can we create an environ
ment for inspection with the
Russians" he said. Il don t.
know, but perhaps we can at
least cut down the size of the
problem by establishing a pro-
cedure whereby both countries
go into a second strike military
posture. Then, if we limit in
spections to the condition Of sec
ond strike posture. and make
inspections on a self limiting,
pay-aS-you- basis, we have be-
gum to balance trust with pract-
icality.
Under an unlimited inspection
proposal" the Pentagon official
continued, 1--WE propose that ev-
cry time we inspect, we pay the
Russians a fixed fee say,
from So million to $50 million,
depending on the type and depth
of inspection-and that they do
the same to inspect us. Neither
would pay anything for an in
spection which turned up an
arms control violation.
As civilian head of the super
secret National Security Agency,
F'ubini is directly in charge of
the government highly classi-
fled communications-intelligence
systems. Also, he is one of seven
officials in the so-called per
misslve link that controls the
firing of nuclear weapons. This
group includes the President and
the officers in actual possession
of these cataclysnic warheads.
HELPING RUSSIA-On Agri-
culture Secretary Orville Free
mans recent trip to Moscow he
discussed with Khrushchev the
possibility of u. S. aid to i'm
prove the Soviet's long bumbling
agriculture.
Khruschev replied as if he had
expected to get such an offer
Of help. He stressed particularly
that Russia now has the money
to buy whatever the U. S. is will
ing to sell.
I'VE are going to divert money
from arms to agriculture" the
Kremlin ruler told Freeman
I'VE are going to increase the
proportion Of capital investment
in agriculture. We have the
money to buy from you. We need
fertilizer plants; we need live
stock feed mixing plants. You
have the plants. If you want to
sell them. we will buy them. We
already have contacts with your
businessmen and they want to
sell. All that is needed is the
approval Of your government. A
Freeman promised to cable
President Kennedy at once rec
ommending that such trade ne
gotiations be opened without DC
lay.
L. S. POLICY-In Freeman s
mission to Moscow" he was
carrying out one phase Of adj
