Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated June 3, 1958: Control of nuclear test

Mr. Nikita Khrushchev has proposed Moscow in place of Geneva as the site for technical studies on ways of controlling a suspension of nuclear weapons tests. The Soviet Premier, in a letter to President Eisenhower on May 31, also asked that the proposed meetings of scientists should be broadened to include experts from India, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Officials reporting this on June 1, described Mr. Khrushchev’s letter a “generally favourable response” to the President’s suggestion on May 24 that the technical talks should begin at Geneva within three weeks of the day that the Soviet Union accepted the proposed arrangements.
