RUSSIAN CONCESSIONS APOLOGISES

ON ATOMIC CONTROL

Eight-Point Programme

Lake Success, June 11.

The Soviet delegate, Andrei Gromyko, making important new concessions on atomic control, today proposed an eight-point programme which would let non- Russians inspect the Soviet's atomic facilities after an appropriate treaty is signed.

Gromyko also suggested that the whole atom control machine be estab- lished by a single treaty. This implied that Russia is dropping its demand that the world sign one treaty agreeing to destroy its atomic bombs and then sign later a treaty setting up means of enforcing the ban.

The Soviet's new proposals, going into greater detail than even the American plan written by Bernard-Baruch, were explained to a special meeting of the United Nations atomic energy commission.

7. Inspectors would have free ne- ecss to all mining and production facilities, weighing, measuring and raw materials analyzing atomic and unfinished products and request Kovernments for further detailed information.

Gromyko suggested that the Unit, Unns in cases where violations of ed Nations set up an international the atomic control treaty are sus- control commission composed of 12 pected. meinbers of the Alomie Commission, nations These include six small which change yearly, Canada and the Pie Five-the United States, Great Britain, Russia, France and China, Granyko twice took pains to em- phasise that personnel of the control commission would be international. This was the first time in more than a year of stubborn East and West wrangling that Russin indicated that it would admit non-Russians to its atomic facilities..

Anglo-American delegates have feared that the Soviet version of in ternational control meant that Rus slans would inspect Soviet facilities and report to the international body, 2,000-WORD STATEMENT Gromyko, in a carefully prepared 12,000 word statement, said the com- free mission's agents should have necess to all "facilities for mining. production and stockpiling of atomic raw materials and alomie materials.
