Geneva Conference on Nuclear Tests Problem Opens

The determination to work out a successful solution to the problem of discontinuing nuclear test explosions was expressed by the representatives of the three nuclear powers -- the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union -- as they opened negotiations on the subject at the Palais des Nations in Geneva today. The participants were welcomed to the conference by UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld's personal representative on disarmament matters, Mr. T.G. Narayanan.
