Ions-drawn disarmament discus*
sms it the last UN General As-
lemhly when this country's resolution that led lo reconstitution of

f-immitte-- provided a framework
hr continued negotiation.

Since Ihcn the Big Four power

in; them in broad terms at lhc

Th:*r plans get their first exam
ination in a UN atmosphere at

closely linked with that of German

produce results that would vitally
affect the foreign ministers . con*
ference.-
Mr. Martin believes the gap between Western nations and the
Soviet bloc bn disarmament has
been narrowed significantly in the
last year. The Geneva proposals
were part of this narrowing.
"At the coming meetings in New
