NUCLEAR TEST BAN
U.S. Rejection Of Plan Revealed
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 2.
More light on the United States attitude towards, a nuclear test ban and a summit conference is expected to be provided today when President Eisenhower holds his weekly press conference.
The President is likely to be asked about the recent White House meeting at whieh a plan was seriously considered to try to steal a march on the Soviet Union by declaring a halt to United States tests.
That there had been such a meeting was disclosed yesterday by Mr Dulles, the Secretary of State. He said it had been decided that the United States could not embark on a plan merely for propaganda purposes.
Senator Hubert Humphrey, a prominent Democrat in Congress, and chairman of the Senate Disarmament Sub-Committee, asserted later that it was Mr Dulles who had advised President Eisenhower to reject a unilateral test ban.
