Stassen sped back to London Sunday to resume the arms control talks today. Stassen, the adminlltratiun's dis- aumament specialist. apparently won the basic instructions he had been seeking in a 10-day behind- the-scenes tussle with Admiral Ar- thur W. Radford. who has been bearish about the chances of any t.rustwort'.1y pact with the Rue- sians. Redford had no comment.

The United States position it- nally approved by the president will aim at restricting possession of atomic weapons 'to the United States. Britain and Russia. ending their manufactur of any man such weapons and. with in! safe- guarck. will seek to limit and later stop atomic tests.

Along with these negotiating goals for the fivepower talks Stassen is to try to work out agreements for reduction: h manpower. weapons and milituy budgets and cones for aerial in s ” exchanges between Rus-

A, sis and the United States.
