DISARMAMENT: NEW

US-Soviet Talks To Be Held

“SUBSTANTIVE” PROPOSALS MADE BY KHRUSHCHEV

From DEREK Marks

London, Apr. 25. On the eve of publication of the communique marking the end of the Anglo-Russian talks comes a new bright hope of an East-West settle. ment on the biggest problem of them all disarmament,

I am informed the Russian and United States delegations to the United Nations disarmament sub- committee conference in London are to hold private bilateral talks in the next few days.

This is a direct sequel of Mr Khrushchev's talks with Mr Harold Stassen, chief United States repre- sentative to the conference, during the Russian party at Claridge's on Tuesday night.

Top-level American sources in London said tonight they believed "this week is the turning point in the disarmament talks."

I understand throughout Khrushchev's talk with Stassen, Sir William Hayter, the British Ambas- sador to Russia, and other British officials were present.

The Russian leader surprised everybody by launching into a de tailed analysis of both the American and Russian disarmament schemes. I am informed he put forward "sub- stantive" proposals.

The Americans agreed to hold private talks after discussing the matter with other Western allies.— London Express Service.
