RUSSIA AGREES TO JOIN
IN ATOMIC TALKS Political
Preliminary Discussions In Washington
Moscow, Jan. 6.
Russia announced today she was ready to join the United States in preliminary discussions in Washington on the problem of atomic energy.
Mr Molotov gave the Soviet decision today to the American Ambassador, Mr Charles Bohlen.
An official communique issued by the Soviet Foreign Ministry said that Mr Georgi Zarubin, Soviet Ambassador in Washington, would repre- sent the Russian Government at the preliminary talks. No date was given for the start of the meeting, though it was indicated this would pre- cede the Foreign Ministers' conference on January 25.
The communique said the Washington talks would consist of an exchange of views on the procedure to be adopted in the eventual atomic energy negotiations.
