U.S.-Soviets Clash Anew
Over Disarmament
Negotiating Body
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. UO—
The United States and the Soviet
Union agreed today that disarma
ment negotiations should be re
sumed at the earliest possible mo
ment, but they clashed anew over
the composition of the negotiat
ing body.
Soviet delegate Valerian Zorin
insisted that any new arms talks
must be organized on the Troika
principle — with equal numbers
of Western, Communist and non
aligned countries taking part.
U.S. delegate Adlai Stevenson
said the United States recognized
the principle of having the non
aligned countries represented, but
he objected to a Troika arrange
ment since it was based on the
concept that “the world can be
neatly divided into three blocks."
The two diplomats spoke before
the General Assembly’s main po
litical committee at the beginning
of a comprehensive U.N. disarma
ment debate.
In an acrimonious exchange at
the conclusion of the meeting,
Zorin charged that U.S. disarma
ment policy was dictated only
by its military interests. Steven
son described Zorin’s remarks as
crude hypocrisy and added: “(Let's
out out the rhetoric and get down
to business."

Col. James Stewart says X-15
pilot Joe Walker will “shoot for
50 miles high next week."
Stewart told the Institute of the
Aerospace Sciences last night that

set last month by Air Force Maj.
Bob White.
Stewart, assistant deputy chief
of staff for the Air Force Systems
Command, recalled that an the
last two X-15 flights by White
the windshield shattered. He took
that as evidence that the plane is
“approaching its design limits,”
meaning it was not built to stand
up under much stiffer tests.
Walker, of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration,
and White have alternated flying
the X-45 in recent assaults on its
own records.
On Nov. 9 White attained a
record 4,093 miles and hour, well
beyond the designed top speed
of 4,000 mph. White also set die

War Hysteria
Is Mounting
In Indonesia
JAKARTA — War hysteria
is mounting in Indonesia as the
United Nations approaches a vote
on a Dutch proposal to give Wesi
New Guinea sell determination.
Led by President Sukarno, whm
declared that Indonesia would get
West New Guinea with or with
out the approval of the United Na
tions, top government leaders have
called on the people to prepare
for war.
Sukarno insists that West New
Guinea, as part of the prewar
Dutch East Indies is an integral
part of Indonesia.
The Dutch, which retained the
western half of the big island
after Indonesia won independ
ence, contend that its mostly pri
mitive Papuan population is eth
nically separate from the Indo
nesians and entitled to determine
its own future. The Dutch want
the United Nations to administer
the territory until the people are
ready for a plebiscite.
Australia governs the eastern
half of New Guinea. So far the
Indonesians have made no claim

Their Influence for Peace
WASHINGTON tfl — Mrs. John
• F. Kennedy and Mrs. Nikita
Khrushchev agree that women
should exert their influence for
peace.
But, like their husbands, they
disagree on how to go about
achieving peace.
1 JSach echoed her husband in
written replies to the women’s
"Strike for Peace” launched here
Nov. 1. ,
The letters were received yes
terday by Mrs. Dagmar Wilson, a
Washington mother of three who
was one of the organizers of the
movement.
Mrs. Kennedy mentioned that
her husband knows war first
hand and that she she is confident
“he will do everything in his
power to avoid it.”
She also made a pitch for Ken
nedy’s policy — “I know that you
will agree with me that the only
route to peace for us is strength,
and therefore join in support of
the policies of this administration
which are dedicated toward that
end.”
Mrs. Khrushchev said that
threats “are made to destroy our
homes, to kill our husbands, to
take lives of our children.”
Among those she said were
making such threats she listed
“just one American name — Mar
garet Smith.”
The reference was to Sen.
garet Chase Smith, CR-Maine),
whose demand that U.S. defense
policy should stress nuclear power
has angered Khrushchev.
