Anti-chemical warfare treaty to be offered to Soviets
By TIM AHERN
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON While the Reagan admin
istration is pressing for a worldwide ban on
chemical weapons, Iraq may be preparing for
'the "large-scale" use of lethal nerve gas to
fend off Iranian attacks in the Persian Gulf;
U.S. officials said yesterday.
• The "bald American initiative" which Pres
ident Reagan promised in his news confer
ence Wednesday night will be a proposed
treaty which would permit Soviet inspection
of U.S. chemical weapons stocks and sites if
the Soviets allow similar U.S. searches of
Russian facilities.

weeks by Vice President George Bush at the

United Nations group which has been trying
for years to draft a new anti-chemical war

Chemical and biological weapons are out
lawed by the 1925 Geneva Protocol and a 1972
treaty. 'But both pacts lack enforcement and
verification procedures, a fact Reagan said
had been made "tragically clear" by the
Iran-Iraq war and his administration's

"Since there weren't a whole lot of
houses destroyed and no one was
killed, we sort of doubt that it was a

The first report of a tornado came
from Willow Grove Naval Air Station
in neighboring Montgomery County.
Aviation Apprentice Chuck 'Whit

gate of the base as the twister formed
about a mile to the northeast, just
across the county line.
• "I was watching the low clouds and
all of a sudden I saw the dark clouds
spinning down," he said. "It lasted
about 30 seconds, and when it had
disappeared I saw debris that looked
like the roof of a house or something
about 150 yards in the air."
The twister came in the middle of a

such a ban. The official Soviet news agency
Tass accused the president of seeking to
justify a program for the U.S. buildup of
chemical arms and said the United States
already possesses "the world's largest chemi
cal arms arsenal."
In an earlier reaction to Reagan's remarks,
the government-controlled Radio Moscow
said the United States has been stockpiling
chemical weapons and using them in Afghani
stan and Southeast Asia.
In Washington, deputy State Department
spokesman Alan Romberg said the United
States believes it is "regrettable that the
Soviet Union chose to attack the president's
initiative before even seeing it."
"As to other Soviet charges about U.S.
policies on chemical weapons, they are false

and misleading," Romberg said. "They are
obviously intended for propaganda effect to
divert attention from their own actions in this
area."
On the Persian Gulf situation, the adminis
tration charged last week that the Iraqis used
lethal nerve gas to stem Iranian attacks in the
four-year-old war between the two nations.
It would be the first time that nerve gas,
developed by Germany in the 19305, has ever
been used in warfare. Earlier, the United
States said Iraq had used mustard gas, a
weapon widely used in World War I. Mustard
gas and related weapons are far less lethal
than nerve gases. A small drop of nerve gas
can kill in 15 minutes.
The Iraqis have at least five well-protected
facilities to produce nerve gas, according to
Reagan threat turns out false

Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK A "threat situation" briefly delayed
President Reagan's departure from the New York
Hilton Hotel last night and city police said bomb squad
officers had remtwed a suspicious package that later
turned out not to be a bomb.
A White House spokesman, Mark Weinberg, who
described the incident as a threat situation, said the
delay was about 10 minutes.
A suspicious package was left at the hotel, said Tony
Vallelong, a New York City police department spokes
man. , -
The object was a briefcase containing "pencils, pens,
books, no explosives," said Detective Robert Noll of the
bomb squad.
John Santos of the police bomb squad said the
package was removed froth the hotel.
Weinberg said that during the 10-minute delay, the
president and his wife, Nancy, remained in a "holding

dressed a dinner of the New York State Federation of
Catholic School Parents.
"There was no bomb," said Lt. James Robert of the
Midtown North Precinct. "A package was found in a
dressing room at 8:45 (p.m. EST), and the bomb squad
was called because he (Reagan) was there."
"There was a threat situation," Weinberg said. "The
president was aware of it.
"It was determined best that President and Mrs.
Reagan remain at the hotel," he said. Weinberg said
that during the delay the Reagan's visited with Arch
bishop John J. O'Connor, one of their hosts at the
federation's dinner, the last event during the presi

Reagan had been scheduled to travel by motorcade,
to the 30th Street heliport on the West Side of New York
and fly by helicopter to Newark for the flight home on
Air Force One. But that plan was changed several
hours before the motorcade, ostensibly because of bad
weather. The weather later cleared.

U.S. officials who spoke on condition they not
be identified.
"You could see some real large-scale use
pretty soon if the Iranians attack again," said
one official. "It shows how desperate Iraq is
gelling, because obviously you pay a heavy
price worldwide because of the revulsion over
these weapons."
Iraq's military is far outnumbered by Iran,
which has used human wave attacks in recent
offensives at the northern end of the Persian
Gulf.
