Wholly inadequate
"Although the United States is continuing to support the inspec- tion and contraf plan approved by the General Assembly." Mr. Hickerson said, "we are prepar ed to examine sympathetically any propocale aimed at reaching. sincere agreement and eliminating ato:nie weapons,"
Russia, he observed, has made na atamle proposals since its ยีเอส" "submitted in 1947. That plan was wholly inadequate since i would permit only perlodie In- spection of stone facilities which individunt nations acknowledge they have. Mr. Hickerson said.
On the point of Russia's pro- posal that all atomie- weapons be destroyed, Mr. Hickerson noted that if effective international con- trol is established, there would be automatic destruction of atomic weapons.
State Department officials said later that there was no conflict between what Mr. Hickerson sald and the Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Acheson's declaration of last week that agreements with Russia must be based on strength and backed by force.
