Soviet Says
U.S. 'Uses'
Negotiation
GENEVA () - A Soviet spokes-
man charged yesterday the United
States is trying to use the 10-na-
tion disarmament negotiations to
nullify Moscow's lead in long
range missiles and space vehicles.
Deputy Foreign Minister Vale-
rian Zorin rejected United States
Ambassador Frederick M. Eaton's
proposal for a quick agreement
banning nuclear armed satellites
from outer space. These are re-
garded as the ultimate weapons of
mass destruction, perfection of
which may be only a few years
away.
Zorin told the disarmament con-
ference the Soviet Union will only
enter into arrangements govern-
ing space vehicles if the United
States surrenders its overseas mili-
tary bases. He repeated this later
to newsmen, saying Eaton's clean
space plan "cannot be accepted
since it is one-sided."
He claimed the entire Western
approach to the work of the Con-
ference appears insincere and fails
to provide for the "general and
complete disarmament" called for
in the United Nations Assembly
resolution last autumn.
Zorin's action brought the con-
ference to a standstill at the open-
ing of the fourth week of the
talks.
Western sources said he seems
bent now-with the reference to
United States bases-on trying to
win a propaganda victory. To pre-
vent this, delegations from the
United States, Britain, France,
Italy and Canada are prepared to
sit in Geneva indefinitely and keep
hammering away on the need for
disarmament guaranteed by inter-
national enforcement machinery.
