Considerable attention shifted to the committee after the Gen- eral Assembly approved over- whelmingly Wednesday night an Anglo - American proposal for immediate resumption of East- West negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear bomb tests The assembly action -- sup- ported by Canada--had an aura of futility, however, because the Soviet Union described the reso- lution as a "'stillborn infant," FIFTEEN ABSTAIN The vote in the 103 - country body was 71 to 11 with 15 ab- RUSSIA HAS 'DUBIOUS' HONOR Se WASHINGTON (CP) -- Presi-|ratorium "while we were at the) jdent Kennedy says Russia has|table negotiating with them." exploded far larger quantities of ' | "If they fooled us once it was $150,000 nuclear materials in the atmios-| iphere than all the Western pow- ey combined and that Russia! lefds the world in the "dubious category" of seeding the skies swith radioactive debris.

Six delegations were absent. Despite the world-wide clamor for an end to nuclear tests, the great powers have been un- able to agree on anything. The assembly earlier voted for an Indian-sponsored moratorium on tests pending a treaty, but it was opposed by the Soviet Un- ion and by the United States, Britain. and France. In turning down both the In- dian proposals and that of the Western powers, the Russians argued that the only way te ban nuclear bomb tests was through an agreement on general and complete disarmament.
