WEST OFFERS RUSSIA PACKAGE
DISARMAMENT PUN TO HALT
ARMS RACE, CUT MILITARY LOAD
WASHINGTON, UV-The Unit
ed States and its Western allies
Thursday presented to Russia a
package disarmament plan which
could halt the East-West atomic
arms race and cut military bur
dens.
A statement issued here cover
ing presentation of the 11-point
plan at the London disarmament
talks called it a “practical, work
able plan for a start on world
disarmament.”
The United States originated
the proposals but they were
worked out jointly with Britain,
France and Canada and geared
with the rest of the NATO allies.
With one or two exceptions, the
proposals had already been out
lined orally in the disarmament
talks so that the 3,000-word docu

call for abolihment of the use of
nuclear weapons, specifies each
country participating in disarma
ment would use (nuclear weapons
only in self-defense. The wording
is stated in negatives this way:
“Each party assumes an obliga
tion not to use nuclear weapons
if an armed attack has not placed
the party in a situation of indi
vidual or collective self-defense.”
This construction was officially
explained as being necessary to
allow for the use of nuclear weap
ons in case the United States, for
example, became involved in a
situation of defense” because of
an attack on an allied country.
Related to this section was an
other more or less new proposal
which is designed to keep the
door open for the nuclear arming
of America’s European allies,
notably Britain and France,
should Russia accept the plan and
its terms actually be converted
into treaty form.
This section, which would also
let Russia supply atomic weapons
to it satellites, states:
“Each party undertakes not to
control any nuclear weapons, dr
to accept transfer to it of such
weapons, except where, under ar
rangements between transferer
and rtansferee, their use will be
in conformity with Paragraph 3.”
The section referred to was that
providing for use of weapons only
in self-defense.

Pentagon Has j
Recovered $18,000 j
Of Junked Parts j
WASHINGTON. UP*—1The Pen- j
tagon admitted yesterday it has j
recovered from a “grave” at a j
Newfoundland air base and re-1 -
i turned to stock $18,500 worth of j
spare parts that someone had cast
off and buried as useless.
The testimony came from Per
kins McGuire, assistant secretary i
of defense, in a statement filed ■
with the Senate Investigations j
Subcommittee.
McGuire gave the subcommittee |
credit for disclosing $44 million!
worth of spare parts had accumu-!
lated in the start of the Korean j ~
War at nine far north air bases j
in Greenland, Newfoundland and j
Labrador.
He said he has found $14 mil- (
lion worth of spare parts in ex- j
cess of needs till on hand at Har
man Air Force Base, Newfound
land, and an estimated $20,680,000
worth still on hand at six other
northern bases.
McGuire announced he has been
i assigned to investigate inventory
j practices at U.S. air bases around
the globe as a result of disclosures
by the subcommittee.
The subcommittee had heard j
th eday before that thousands of j
dollars worth of parts had been
buried for use as ballast to con
trol erosion at the Sondrestom
base in Greenland, and some of it!
may have been “good stuff.”
