(Pi -The Soviet Union today hurled a blistering attack on the plan lor creation of an Arctic inspec tion system to guard against surprise attack. Soviet Delegate Arkady so- boiev declared Russia would, not take part in negotiations proposed by the United States. Instead, he suggested that the whole question of safeguards against surprise attacks be left to a summit conference along with a long list of oth er problems. JLodge Asks Consideration Sobolev addressed the U.N." Se curity Council after U.S. Ambas sador Henry Cabot Lodge had ap pealed to Soviet Union to agree at least to discuss a limited and experimental system of aerial and ground inspection in the Arctic.

The Sviet delegate charged that the discussions as proposed by the United States would leave the Soviet Union standing alone against a it roup of I countries linked to the United States by mill, tary alliance. The-United States had suggested that the participants include the Sovijet -Union, United States, Brt tain, France. Canada, Denmark and Norway as well as any other Arctic powers which wanted to take part. Grorrrj-ko Comments Lodge addressed the li-hation Council as Soviet' Foreign Minisr ter, Andrei A. Gromyko in Moscow dismissed, the inspection plan as "a matter of sheer I publicity." Earlier, Sobolev had laid before the council a proposal urging an early summit meeting and leaving discussion of! military inspection to such a meeting.

Lodge took no note of the Soviet proposal. The; Soviet resolution- repeated earlier charges that U.S. bomber flights, in the Arctic are a threat to the Soviet Union. Both the question of- the flights and; of the inspection zone, it said, should be referred to a meeting of the heads of government. Debate Expected The Council was expected to plunge into a full debate of the U.S.

proposal despite Soviet ob jections to taking ttup at this time. The United States hoped 4o head off a Soviet veto by taking a flexible and conciliatory attitude with regard to the final terms of the inspection proposal. I The Soviet resolution called on the United States to refrain from senamg ns military aircraft carrying atomic, and hydrogen bombs toward the frontiers of other states for' the purpose of creat ing a threat to their security or staging military demonstrations. ims provision was similar to that in a resolution which the So viet Union withdrew Monday af- vm U.J ici ii uau run uuu souu opposi tion. Adoption of the new resolution would, have the effect of giving me Muncu enaorsement to a summit conference without noting the Western insistence that such a meeting, should be held only aft-4 er advance preparations are made Col.
