NUCLEAR TEST TALKS
Soviet Charges Of Hedging
LONDON, January 15. Moscow Radio today accused Britain and the United States of hedging on the question of whether they were ready to cease nuclear weapon tests “everywhere and for all time,” said the American Associated Press. It claimed that Western delegates at the Geneva conference were obstructing the talks by “posing all kinds of technical problems.”
But in spite of this, the radio said, “the conference is making progress.” The radio said that the “persistent efforts of the Soviet delegation to find a mutually acceptable solution seem to be succeeding.” It noted that agreement had already been reached on several points. “The Soviet position is absolutely clear and concrete. It wants an agreement to stop nuclear tests everywhere and for a ll time, and beMeves the technical questions involved should be handled by experts in the control and other bodies,” it said.
