RUSSIA DROPS MISSILE AT ARMS TALKS King George
London, Aug. 27.
· Less than 24 hours after the Russian claim to have made a successful test of an inter-continental ballistic missile, Valerian Zorin, leader of the Soviet delegation to the London disarmament conference, today made the strongest attack yet upon the atti- Jude of the Western powers.
He accused them of not wanting to solve the question of reducing conventional arms and armament "as they were conducting preparations for a War."
new
in a speech which lasted an hour and a half, he said the Soviet Union could not disregard the fact that a ring of United States bases had been set up round the Soviet Union and directed at her.
Mr Zor all Russia rejected the West's "open skies" and two-year nuclear test ban proposals today and announced
that it would continue nuclear missiles tests as long as the West did.
Mr Zorin said;
That the conditional two-year test suspension offered by the West last Wednerday was "nullified" by Western insistence that it should be párt of a disarmament package.
★ No aerial inspection and photography could prevent a sudden attack" if in aggressor, had "up-to-date weapons and means of delivery."
TESTING · AND PROTESTING
.
The French delegate, M. Jules Moch and the British Minister of State, Mir Allan Nable, countered by reading Russtu's announcement of inter-continental missile develop- ment to the London conference.
Both said it appeared Russia was Intent on continuing testing_nuclear weapons even while; protesting it wanted all tests stopped.
Mr Zorin replied that three states wère now testing such devices.
He said the Soviet Union would continue to do so as long na other countries did so and so long as there was no agree- ment not to do so.
,
He accused the West of playing a "double game."
It appeared to dim remaining hope that the nye-mealk- old conference could produce any first step toward surma-, ment.
Diplomats could only speculate whether Russia's suckien harshness was prompted by some major break-through in missile development as the Kremlin claimed last night.
Western delegates are now expected lo'press the Soviet representative, Mr Zorin, to stato unambiguously whether the Soviet Government was rejecting the Western plan for serial and ground Inspection against surprise attacks.

According to the Tasa com- munique the Russians were forend by the bad will of the West to continue with their experiments and re search. This accusation, which is not without modicum of hypocrisy, in no way shakes the essential basis of the Western argu- ment that, the stopping of nuclear explosions has no practical effect if it is not accompanied by the stop- plug of atomic production for military ends.
