DISARMAMENT
Moscow, June 24.
General Nathan F. Twining, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, told Russia's top leaders tonight that America disarmed in 1945 but would not do so again until worldwide arms control became effective.
The General, leading a ten-man American delegation to Russia's air show, was speaking during a lavish five-hour party given by the Soviet leaders which ended with the greatest show of friendship for the United States seen in Moscow since the “cold war.”
Sitting across a garden table, General Twining replied to Russian toasts to "peace" and "friendship":
"When it comes to talking about peace and disarmament, it is not my business."
The general pointed at his khaki air force uniform.
"Nobody is more interested in peace and disarmament than the men who wear this kit because we know what war means,” he told the Russians.
