o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, August 4, 1955 o Adequate inspection System Seen As First Step To World Disarmament CBt WILLIAM GALBRAITH United Press Correspondent Washington (U.PJ- Harold E. Stassen, special disarmament ad viser to the President, sid today an adequate operating inspection system must be developed as the first step to international dis armament. He acknowledged that no sys tem no matter how good could detect all atomic materials already produced. So, he said, an inspection plan must be devised which approaches the problem in another way, such as by checking meins of launching atomic at tack, o Stassen, one of the leaders of the U. S. delegation to the forthcoming meeting of the U. N. Disarmament Commission, said "we will be putting our empha sis on the kind of international inspection system that can be worked out.'' The meeting with Russia, Britain, Canada and France opens in New York Au gust 29 under a directive from the Big Four heads of state. Stassen discussed the disarma ment problem in an exclusive interview with the United Press, the first granted by an American participant in the recent Big Four summit conference at Gen eva. He disclosed that he and associates tussling with the dis armament problem have reached four basic conclusions: 1. An adequate effective in spection system "in place and in operation is an essential pre requisite for any sound disarma ment plan." 2. Such an inspection system can be carried out in vast nations like Russia and the United States only by reciprocal use of a com plete aerial survey with the aid of photographic and other scien tific equipment. 3. No inspection method has been discovered by the United States or, as far as it knows, jpy any other nation which would account in full for nuclear weap ons material already produced or in production. 4. Any disarmament agree ment which goes beyond the limits of an adequate inspection system would add to the danger of war and would not help the cause of peace. President Eisenhower was guided by these conclusions when he told the Geneva. con ference "the priority attention of our combined study of dis armament should be upon the subject of inspection and report ing." The President also won world acclaim with his proposal that nations provide each other with "a complete blueprint" of their military establishments and per mit each to make aerial photo graphs of the other's territory. Stassen, asked what he thought of chances for reaching agree ment with the Soviets, replied: "I would not want to estimate chances of agreement. But there was a new avenue opened at Ge neva." Stassen said he thought the United States unquestionably has gained the initiative in pressing I for disarmament. He said Mr. Eisenhower took that lead when he announced to the world he was creating a special post with cabinet rank to study the disarm ament picture and search for a solution to this No. 1 world problem. Mr. Eisenhower, he said, main tained that lead when he un veiled his dramatic "blueprint" plan at Geneva. Stassen said re ports from the world over indi cate people everywhere "recog nize it as a significant turning point."
