A Soviet delegation spokesman told newsmen the four-year time limit first proposed by Premier Nikita S.

Khruhchev "is open io negotiation" but that there eventually must be some rigid timetable. A Western spokesman said the statement was "interesting" but no real concession. "Our view is that rigid time limits are 1 the est- jern spokesman said. The statement came after the 10-nation East-West disarmament conference met for only 41 minutes, the shortest session so far. and adjourned until Thursday apparently in total deadlock.

The Soviet bloc up to now had insisted the West sign an arms treaty pledging "general and complete disarmament" within four years. The Soviet spokesman a i "We are willing to negotiate on I the principle of a longer period i than four as long as tre jW'est accepts a strict time limit jfor general and dLsarm- also willing the length of any gnen stage within our but the time- limits must be concrete for each stage."
