1ISARMAMENT SYMPOSIUM:
Soviet Accuses West of Stalling
ENGINEERING COLLEGE:
LSA To Vote on Plan
To Issue Joint Degree
By LOUISE LIND
The West's lack of genuine de-
sire to scrap their entire machin-
ery of war constitutes "the main
obstacle" to general and com-
plete disarmament, a Soviet offi-
c1al said yesterday.
Yuli M. Verontsov, counselor
and advisor on political affairs of
the Soviet Union's mission to the
United Nations, said that despite
the Western attitude, "the Soviet
Union and; all Soviet people are
dletermined to continue the strug-
gle for general and complete dis-
armament, and no obstacles will
divert us from this path."
Addressing the Second Inter-
national Arms Control and Dis-
-armament Symposium, which
.concludes its four day session in
Ann Arbor today, Verontsov was
.revealing "The Position of the
Soviet Union on the Problems of
.Disarmament."
Compares Terms
Verontsov explained that the
stand taken by the United States
and Britain at the Geneva talks,
over measures of general and
complete disarmament.
The Soviet Union "cannot ac-
cept the demand that this con-
trol be carried out not over dis-
armament but over armaments,
which would in fact put control,
before disarmament," Verontsov
said.
He told the symposium that the.
lack of a real desire on the part
of Western powers speedily to
reach disarmament "fully ac-
counts for the difficulties which
' Oa r~in~lc7nra+AI rnini ha
are arwificialuy created around tn
cormpared with the position of the e sispr l trol."
~A~~t ~nin ~~rl~,t~v '~o~1it problem of control."
countries, "shows who wants dis-
armament and who fears it."s
Noting that the Soviet Union
has submitted a draft treaty on
general and complete disarma-
ment under strict international
control; Verontsov called the1
United States plan "a general out-
line of disarmament proposing ex-
tremely prudent, I would even say
cautious, steps which in the fin-
al outcome by no means lead to,
a really complete and general dis-
armament."
He cited four areas where he
claimed the Soviet plan proposed
more rapid or more substantiall
steps toward disarmament than
those proposed in the American
plan. These were:
1) An unconditional prohibition
of the nuclear manufactures and
the appeal for destruction of all
stockpiles of nuclear weapons.
No Prohibition
"The Western powers, on the'
other hand, do not in their plan
provide for prohibition of the use;
of atomic weapons," he said.
2) Destruction of the means for
delivery of nuclear weapons to-
gether with the liquidation of mil-
itary bases on foreign territory.
The Western powers, he claimed,
wished to see a delay in obtain-
ing these two objectives.
3) Completion of the process of
general and complete disarma-
ment within four or five years.
"The West does not lay down any'
time limit for measures of general
and complete disarmament," Ver-
ontsov added.
4) Strict international control
Calling the control problem a
favorite debating subject giving
rise to a kind of "control schol-
astics," Verontsov compared the
discussions now being held on,
arms control to those formerly
held "in the remote times" about
the number of devils that could
fit on the point of a needle.
Ado over Control
"That much ado raised about
the problem of control clearly pre-
vents many people in the world
from, hearing a very important
proposition eliminating all argu-
ments about control," he said.
The reference was to Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's
offer to accept any disarmament
control devised by the Western
powers if they, in turn, accepted
the Soviet disarmapent plan.
Acknowledging that while gen-
eral and .-complete disarmament
is the primary. goal of the Soviet
Union, Verontsov claimed that the
USSR considers it important to
strive, at the same time, to adopt
measures conducive to a relaxa-
tion of international tension.
"Life itself dictates the need
for such measures which would
bring an end to the armaments
race."
He cites as one method of re-
ducing international tension a
non-aggression pact between the
NATO countries and the coun-
tries of the Warsaw Treaty, "pro-
posed many times by the Soviet
Union."
Another means of relaxing ten-
sion would be an agreement to
prevent the further dissemina-
tion of nuclear weapons, he said.

The literary college executive
committee Wednesday will vote
on a proposed joint degree pro-
gram with the engineering col-
lege, Assistant Dean Buxton Thu-
ma said yesterday.
The program, if passed, will en-
able engineering students to take
both an engineering degree and a
literary college degree with a ma-
jor from any department within
the literary college.
Previously civil and mechanical
engineers participated in a joint
program, but "this did not include
very many students," Assistant
Dean Arlen R. Hellwarth of the
engineering college explained. The
new program will make it possible
for more students to take work
in liberal arts.
Major Choices
Depending on the choice of ma-
jor, the number of credits requir-
ed for graduation with a joint de-
gree will vary between 155 and
182. For example, because of the
amount of math, physics and
chemistry necessary to fulfill en-
gineering requirements, a student
choosing a major in these fields
would have to take fewer extra
hours in the literary college than
if he majored in a field alien
from engineering requirements,
Prof. Oleg Grabar of the art his-
tory department explained. Prof.
Grabar chairs the curriculum
committee which approved the
proposal before it went to the
executive board.
The basic courses in engineer-
ing will have to be taken by un-
derclassmen, so the majority of
other distribution requirements

Answers Employer Demand
Prof. Grabar said the program
would be useful because of. a re-
cent trend toward employer de-
mand for students who have hac
both an engineering, and liberal
arts educational background.
In order to be admitted to th
proposed combined program, it
will be recommended that a stu-
dent have a 2.4 overall grade point
average for his first thirty hours
of elections. Also, to be permitted
to work for the two degrees, a stu-
dent would have to satisfy the
rules of both colleges for good
scholastic standing.

JAMES E. LESCH
Lescb Notes
'U' Strides
For Eco'nomy
James A. Lesch, assistant to the
vice-president for academic af-
fairs, noted Tuesday that the Uni-
versity is taking strides to coordi-
nate its role in the state drive to
improve Michigan's economy.
Under James Wilson, acting di-
rector of the Institute of Science
and Technology and Hansford
Farris of the engineering college,
an advisory- committee is being
formed to channel all future pro-
posals to spur the state economy
with state funds.
The state Legislature in 1962
apportioned $750,000 for state col-
lege research projects designed to
aid the economy.
Submits Nine Proposals
The University; to date, hAs
submitted -nine- prbosals for re-
search projects to the state. Three.
have been approved by. the eco-.
nomic expansion department and
Gov.George Romney's office.
The University awaits final ap-
proval from. the Legislature in or-
der to receive $125,000 in support
of the projects.
Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann
Arbor) introduced a . resolution
Tuesday that would enable the
University to receive the neces-
sary funds. _ -.,
University Role
Speaking of the proposed Uni-
versity advisory committee, Lesch
said the group would work in con-
junction with the industrial divi-
sion of the IST and would prob-
ably .attenpt to formulate a con-
cept . of the University's role in
the drive to boost the state econ-
omy.
He claimed an advisory body
would .unify many separate re-
search projects into a coordinated
program.
Such a body, he said, would be
composed of members of the Uni-
versity's Institute for Social Re-
search,.economics department and
the business administration and
engineering schools.

Vellodi Points to Realism
At UN Security Council
(Continued from Page i)
wholehearted support from all the
nations of the UN can such a force
be financially possible, Thant said.
As further 'acki ign fdr his views,
Vallodi noted that Thant had em-
phasized the need for the nations
of the world to go further along
the road toward international co-
operation before even vocal-back-
ing can be given to such a per-
manent international force. Very
important in this . cooperation,
Vallodi said, is the "development
of sophisticated international
opinion with the changing of
thinking frot nationalist to in-
ternationalist lines."
Velodi also gave attention to
the role of the UN in disarmament
negotiations. His main concern in
this area was that the United
States and the USSR seem often
to be bypassing the. UN when ne-
gotiating over disarmament, and
acting on a largely bilateral basis.
He pointed to the continuing dis-
armament talks at Geneva, which
are conducted outside the frame-
work of the UN, as an example.
Power and Responsibility
"The UN has both the power
and the responsibility to take a
vital piart in these neotiations."
One need only look at the UN
charter and the past actions of
the UN to substantiate this claim,
he explained.
Vellodi also voiced concern over
recent proposals to establish an
entirely new international organ-
ization to take over the peace-
keeping function of the UN, leav-
ing the UN as merely a forum for
international debate and negotia-
tion.
The grounds for this proposal
are that the task of international
peacekeeping has grown too wide-
spread and complex to be dealt
withdas merely one ofbseveral
functions of an international
peacekeeping organization, he said.
Not a Solution
"This proposal is not a good idea
or a solution to any of the prob-
lems the UN has encountered in
its operations.hPeacekeeping-the
maintenance of international
peace and order-is the principle
function of and the main reason
for the establishment of, the UN.
What is needed is not an aban-
donment of the UN in this area,
but removal of its weaknesses and
the strengthening of its strong
points. Any new agency will run
into the same problems the UN
has encountered."
Vellodi noted a statement from
the late Secretary-General of the
UN Dag Hammarskjold that "The
difficulties the United Nations has
encountered in peacekeeping ;op-
erations have been a result of the
realities of life and not of defects
in its charter'."
