...BARUCH PLAN, 1946. Proposed by Bernard M. Baruch, U.S. representative on the U.N. Atomic Energy Commission, the program included international control of all atomic detonations and licensing of all other atomic activities. An international inspection team would check for violations, and its findings would be veto-proof in the Security Council. The Russians objected that inspection could not be reconciled with national security, and the plan was shelved...
...OPEN SKIES," 1955. At the Geneva summit conference, President Eisenhower suggested a bold plan for aerial surveillance of all military installations, including nuclear facilities. The idea had not been favored by most U.S. military men, and the Russians rejected it as an espionage ploy. The Russians countered with a ground checkup system -which Eisenhower accepted in principle-but the idea fell through when Moscow would allow only three token look-sees a year. Today there is still no formal inspection procedure, although satellite surveillance and seismic detection devices have made it easier to keep track of nuclear installations and large...
...contributor gives his bank the right to tap his checking account for a specified amount. The bank charges 3 1/2? per deduction, and the balance is forwarded to the contributor's party.

The government points out that the Biafrans, led by Lieut. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, have turned down a plan to have the Red Cross ship food through federal territory to Biafra. But Gowon insists on federal handling of any such shipments, and the Biafrans fear that his men would poison the food: they cite instances of beer laced with cyanide and powdered milk infected with bacteria found in Biafra. Even if Gowon allows...
...only way to protect Biafra's sovereignty is to fly the food in. He proposes mercy flights during the daytime, but these require the cooperation of federal Nigeria, which has threatened to shoot down the planes. At week's end relief officials were working on another plan: they reported that Gowon may be willing to let International Red Cross workers distribute food that would be shipped through Biafran ports now held by his troops...
