There also will be noisy debate on the twin issues of disarmament and nuclear testing. The U.S. wants to keep both sets of talks going at Geneva, still maintains that the only way to detect underground nuclear explosions is a system of on-the-spot inspections, which Russia calls "espionage." Russia hopes to gain a propaganda advantage by bringing both issues before the Assembly, which would destroy what little hope there is of an effective test settlement.

(which was formed especially for the purpose with 54% government capital), the plane incorporates a high percentage of foreign components, including its twin Rolls-Royce Dart RDa. 10/1 engines. In their desire to sell the YS 11 as a latter-day replacement for the workhorse DC-3, its designers sacrificed both speed (295 m.p.h.) and range (380 miles with a full load of 60 passengers) in order to cut the plane's normal take-off run to as little...
