KHRUSHCHEV’S TOTAL DISARAMENT PLAN
DEBATED BEFORE U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY
' By MAX HARRELSON
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UPl—
The Soviet Union today unveiled
more details of Premier Khrush
chev’s total disarmament plan, in
cluding a proposal that interna
tional controls be imposed grad
ually by stages.
Opening the disarmament de
bate in the General Assembly’s
82 - nation Political Committee,
Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily
Kuznetsov firmly rejected West
ern demands that an iron - clad
control system must be set up be
fore arms can be cut.
He dealt at some length with
this key question which will de
termine whether or not agree
ment can be reached on the
Khrushchev plan laid before the
Assembly Sept. 18.
He still left many questions un
answered, however, and insisted
that it is not necessary to exam
ine details of control until an
agreement is reached on disarma
ment.
Khrushchev proposed that all
nations be totally disarmed within
four years and that this be done
in three stages.
Kuznetsov told the committee
that broad- and general controls
would go into effect when com
plete disarmament was achieved.
Until then, he 9aid, the extent of
control should correspond to the
three stages suggested by Khrush
chev'.
Dodgers Become 1
Highest Paid
World Champions
CHICAGO, UP> — The Los An
geles Dodgers are the world
champions of baseball today.
They beat the Chicago White
Sox 9-3 yesterday in the sixth
game of the World Series—and
• they did it in Chicago’s Comiskey
Park.
TJie Dodgers’ victory, behind
right - hander Larry Sherry,
smashed the hopes of the White
Sox, which had soared when the |
Chicago team scored a 1-0 come
back triumph Tuesday in the Los
Angeles Coliseum, returning the
series to their home ground.
It was only the second world
championship in 10 tries for the
Dodgers, their first since shift
ing to Los Angeles from Brooklyn
two years ago.
Both championship teams have
been managed by Walt Alston,
who has led the Dodgers to three
pennants in his six years.
This could be the richest of all
series when the record $892,365.04
player pool is split up. A full
winner’s share should be worth
at least $10,000 a man to the
Dodgers, possibly $11,000. The
Sox should get from $7,000 to
$7,500 each, which would be a
record for a losing share.
The Dodger victory, making
them the first ever to rocket from
seventh place one year to thd
world championship the next, is
the National League’s fourth in
six years over the American. The
American League still leads in
the over-all standings, however,
35-21.
