...Stassen, the complaint ran, had pulled a diplomatic blooper, and the European allies were miffed. The blooper: Stassen, after promising Western partners that he would consult with them before making any specific disarmament proposals to the Russians, had launched into private talks with Russia's disarmament representative, Valerian Zorin (architect of the Russian takeover of Czechoslovakia...
...course of discussing technical questions, Stassen had handed Zorin an informal working paper which detailed a highly tentative U.S. proposal for setting up zones of aerial inspection, one of which included Western Europe. When British and French diplomats-to say nothing of the apprehensive West Germans-heard of this, they were quick to file complaints...

Subcommittee on Disarmament renewed the Soviet "offer" to abandon H-bomb tests if the U.S. and Britain would do likewise. As usual, however, the men in the Kremlin were working both sides of the street. Two days before Zorin's statement, the Russians exploded a nuclear weapon of their own. It was the fifth (and one of biggest) Russian nuclear explosion in two weeks-explosions which, by curious coincidence, came hard...
