Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8--Secretary of State Dulles disclosed tonight after meeting with President Eisenhower that the United States is ready to talk with Russia about international control of space missiles.
However, Dulles held to the U.S. position that any such talks would have to be held within the United Nations.
Dulles told newsmen at the White House the United States is hopeful Russia will accept a Western proposal to study means of making sure objects sent through outer space will be used only for peaceful purposes.
In what appeared to be a major reversal of U.S. policy, Dulles offered to consider space control apart from the highly controversial questions in the West's Aug. 29 disarmament package plan.
Disarmament Talks
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 8--At the urging of both the United States and Russia, the United Nations agreed today to begin immediate detailed debate on disarmament.
The action was taken in the 82-nation Political Committee, where U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge declared "we want no time lost" in discussing disarmament, "the most urgent problem of this Assembly."
Soviet Dep. Foreign Minister V.V. Kuznetsov declared that "The most important, the most urgent issue before us is a solution of the disarmament problem."
Dulles made his statement flanked by Harold Stassen, Eisenhower's chief disarmament negotiator, after both men emerged from a 75-minute conference with the President.
