Russia Says West Plays Down Issue Says Missiles Only Portion Os Problem LONDON (UP)—Soviet Russia accused the West today of trying to play down the “urgent issue of stopping or suspending nuclear tests” ... by throwing the spotlight on intercontinental missiles. Radio Moscow, in a broadcast heard here, said the missile question was only a part of the problem of a nuclear ban and that an agreement halting nuclear tests might be the first real step towards a complete ban on all atomic weapons. American delegate Harold E. Stassen proposed Thursday that intercontinental missiles be banned ’ from warfare as part of a firststep disarmament agreement Britain, France and Canada were ex- ! pected to support him. 1 Western sources here said the Moscow broadcast, coupled with J'the recent statements of Soviet delegate Valerian Zorin, indicated ' the Russians planned to link the questions of nuclear tests and missiles as a major issue at the disarmament talks. Moscow Radio said the West was “artificially. divorcing” the problem of missiles and atomic weapons. “It is clear that the settlement of this (missile) issue might become the first real step towards the complete prohibition of nuclear and hydrogen weapons,” the radio said.
