H-TEST TALKS
Critical Phase (N.ZP.A.-Reuter—Copyright) (Rec. 11.15 p.m.) GENEVA, April 4. The 30-month-old EastWest nuclear test ban talks will enter one of their most critical phases when they resume today. Success or failure of the negotiations—the sole disarmament link between East and West—virtually depends on the Soviet reaction to the West’s new proposals. In the 10 days before Easter. Mr Arthur Dean, the United States delegate, and Mr David Ormsby-Gore, of Britain, explained in detail the proposals, characterised as ‘major concessions” to the Russian position. At last Thursday’s session before the Easter break, the West said that the responsibility for achieving an EastWest treaty banning nuclear weapons tests now rested squarely on the Soviet Union. The Soviet delegate. Mr Semyon Tsarapkin, said he would reply to the new Western proposals as soon as possible after the talks resumed.
