Assembly Accepts Bans
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.(/P)
—The U.N. General Assembly
and its Political Committee
approved resolutions yester
day aimed at ending tests of
nuclear
_weapons. Big power
differences appeared to doom both
in advance.
The assembly adopted a propo
sal by India and five nonaligned
nations urging a voluntary mora
torium on testing. It was rejected
by the United States. Britain,
France and the Soviet Union.
Earlier the assembly's Political
Committee approved a U.S.-Brit
ish resolution calling for new
East-West negotiations on a test
ban treaty providing effective in
ternational controls. The Soviet
Union said flatly there never
would be such negotiations.
The vote in the assembly'was
71, to 20 with 11 abstentions. The
United States and the Soviet
bloc joined in the negative
votes. Abstainers were Afghani
stan. Belgium. Cuba. Haiti.
Nether/ands. Ne w Zealand,
Spain and Tunisia.
Both U.S. Delegate Arthur Dean
and British Delegate J. B. God
ber rejected the moratorium on
the grounds that it failed to pro
vide for controls. Semyon K.
Tsarapkin, the Soviet delegate,
said a moratorium would only
result in Soviet inferiority in nu
clear arms might.
Nehru--

itor took place at Andrews Air
Force Base after Nehru flew with
Kennedy from Newport. RI.,
where they had conferred for
about hours.
Presidential press secretary
Pierre Bolinger said the primary
subject of the first Kennedy-
Nehru talk at Newport was
Southeast Asia.
There was a consideration of
the situation in both Laos and
South Viet Nam, where Commu
nist guerrillas are waging a sus
tained attack on the government
of President Ngo Dinh Diem.
Salinger did not elaborate,.
But he said that Nehru also dis
cussed a conversation he had
held in New Delhi last month
with special roving Ambassador
Averilli Harriman. who heads
the U.S. delegation at the 14-
' nation Geneva conference on
Laos.
India has been playing' a key
role at the Geneva conference.

national Control Commission
which will supervise the neutrali

ment is formed.
The Soviet Union wants a weak
control commission and the Unit
ed States has urged a strong com
mission with authority, to halt
fighting wherever it may erupt.
