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."

Dixon-Yates Evidence Studied by Senators
Washington (UP.) Senate
investigators started to evaluate
volumes of testimony today for
an interim report on how the
administration handled the con
troversial Dixon-Yates power
contract.
The report is scheduled to
be completed in about 30 days.
Chairman Estes Kefauver (D
Tenn.) yesterday recessed for
about five weeks a special Sen
ate Monopoly Subcommittee's in
vestigation of the cancelled contract.
But he said the hearings will
be resumed next month in an
effort to get "the full story" of
the negotiations leading to a coJt
tract between the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Dixon-Yates
private utility combine.
The contract called for con
struction of a steam power plant
at West Memphis, Ark., to feed
electricity into the Tennessee
Valley Authority system at Mem
phis, Tenn.
