Moscow, Mar. 24.

The U.N. Secretary-General, Dag Ham- marskjold, plunged into an intensive round of talks with Soviet leaders today in an effort to restore U.N. influence in the field of disarmament.

The quiet Secretary went methodically about what he termed "a regular working visit". As is his custom, he uttered no word about the pro- gress of his negotiations but the impression was he let the Russians do most of the talking on the opening day.

Informed sources believed the main purpose of the U.N. Secretary-General's visit to the Soviet capital was to probe the depths of Russian objections to the US Disarmament Commis- sion as the main field for negotiation on East- West disarmament.
