Russia Proposes U.N. Control of
Outer Space and Ban On ICBM’s
MOSCOW, UP)—Russia proposed
today the creation of a U.N. organ
for international cooperation in
outer, space and suggested it be
considered at the proposed sum
mit. .conference, including a ban
on intercontinental missiles and
the liquidation of U. S. bases
ringing the Soviet Union.
It was advanced on a Kremlin
statement. The program is es
sentially the same as the Soviet
position outlined previously by
Premier Bulganin and Commun
ist Party Secretary Khrushchev.
The statement was issued at a
news conference after Khrush
chev in a speech Friday night
pressed again for a summit meet
ing but sharply rejected Western
proposals for a discussion of the
status of Eastern European na
tions. He warned Russia would
block any attempt to tamper with
Eastern Europe.
The Kremlin statement accused
the United States of seeking con
trol of outer space and trying to
ban intercontinental ballistic mis
siles while refusing to discuss the
abolition of foreign bases.
The ICBM threatens the U.S.,
the Kremlin said, while U.S. nuc
lear weapons and foreign bases
threaten the Soviet Union.
Under these conditions, it said,
the only solution would be simul
taneous prohibition of both. The
Soviet proposal included “ade
quate international control” of
the provisions of the agreement.

AEC Absolved
From Intention
To Deceive
WASHINGTON, UP>—The Sen
ate House Atomic Energy Com
mittee Saturday absolved the At
omic Energy Commission of any
intention to deceive Congress or
the public with an erroneous
press release about an under
ground atomic test.
Summoned by the committee
to a special hearing, commission
ers and top staff members ack
nowledged the AEC inadvertent- •
ly minimized the range at, which
earthwaves caused by the shot
were detected. However, as Com
missioner Willard F. Libby put it:
“We regret it, we assume full
responsibility, but there was ab
solutely no intent to deceive any
one.”
The error and an apparent de
lay in correcting it caused strong
criticism, especially in the Sen
ate. The question of how far away
a nuclear shot could be detected
through earthwaves is of vital
concern in the study of recurrent
proposals for suspending weapons
tests.
Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn), the
chairman of a special Senate dis
armament subcommittee and Sen.
Kefauver (D-Tenn) demanded ex
planations of the AEC announce
ment. Humphrey suggested the
AEC’s error might not have been
entirely accidental.
After the explanations given,
which included reciting several
slips and mishaps, among them
the illness of a commission em
ploye, all the Joint Committee
members present said they were
satisfied the AEC acted in good
faith.
