Arms Race Goes On Perhaps the world has given tip hope of achieving disarmament. Certainly little. public interest was shown in the deepening of the stale- mate in the tieneva disarmament talks last week. when William (1. Foster. chief L'niled States negotia- ‘bOr. announced that he and Ambas— sador Tsarapkin. chief Soviet negot- iator, had faich to agree on an agenda for the conference . As a. consequence. Mr. Foster flew back to Washington, leaving his deputy. Adrian Fisher, to carry on. For IR years of negotiations, the Soviet l'liioii and tho l'nited States have Achieved no agreement for even a little real t‘lisarmament. They have. it true. taken steps to Whittle away at the risk of war. but that is all. The first of these steps was the antarctic treaty of i 1959. which banned military opciu ations including nuclear weapons and nuclear tests from the antarc- tic continent Then came the "hot line" agree.- mpnt. in June, 1063, which grew
