Shultz completes voyage
Leaves Moscow for Brussels
to consult with NATO allies

AP Diplomatic Writer
BRUSSELS, Belgium Secretary
of State George P. Shultz expressed
optimism in Moscow about reaching
an accord on eliminating medium
range nuclear missiles from Europe
and flew to Brussels to consult with
NATO allies.
"We will consult, and I am sure,
come to a good conclusion," Shultz
said before leaving Moscow, where
he held three days of meetings with
Soviet officials, including Kremlin
leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, 'who
made new arms proposals.
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A.
Schevardnadze told Shultz yesterday
the Soviets, would eliminate their
shorter-range missiles in the Soviet
Union within a year after Senate
ratification of a proposed treaty on
medium-range missiles.
The Soviets have 80 shorter-range
missiles on their territory.
The Soviets have about 50 medium
range launchers with a range of 350
to 600 miles in East Germany and
Czechoslovakia. They would be
scrapped on the signing of a treaty to
rid Europe of hundreds of U.S. and
Soviet medium-range missiles, which
have a range of 600-3,000 miles.
Gorbachev made the proposals,
which could remove a major obstacle
to a treaty on medium-range mis
siles, during a 4 1 :4-half-hour meeting
Tuesday with Shultz in the Kremlin.

been made, and it should be possible

Court-martial

WASHINGTON, D.C. A pre-trial
hearing for a Marine embassy guard
accused of espionage recessed yes
terday without any decision on wheth
er he should be bound over for court
martial.
Lt. Col. John Shotwell, a Marine
Coro spokesman, said the pre-trial
hearing for Sgt. Clayton J. Lonetree
recessed at about 4:30 p.m. EDT. He
said the proceedings would likely be
completed this - morning "because
they only have one or two witnesses
left."
Lonetree, is a former guard at
the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. He has
been accused of becoming involved
romantically with a Soviet woman
while working in Moscow and. then
allowing Soviet agents to roam the
embassy late at night on numerous
occasions last year.
Lonetree and his defense attorneys
went behind closed doors at 9 a.m.
Wednesday to hear prosecuting attor
neys present witnesses and other
evidence in a bid to justify the start of
a court-martial.
During a break in the proceedings,
one of Lonetree's defense attorneys
told reporters his client had not den
ied having a relationship with a Sovi
et woman who worked at the
embassy, Violetta Seina.
But Michael V. Stuhff, the attorney,
added he was prepared to present
evidence that such fraternization was
"a very common accepted practice."

Soviet offer may be helpful for arms control
By BRYAN BRUMLBY-
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. The offer by Kremlin
leader Mikhail Gorbachev to remove short-range
nuclear missiles from Czech°Slovakia and East
Germany could be a significant step toward an
arms control deal and superpower summit, al
though U.S. and Soviet officials say some obsta
cles remain.
Secretary of State George P. Shultz carried the
offer with him to NATO headquarters in Brussels
to ask whether it met West European concerns
that removing U.S. medium-range nuclear mis
siles could leave the region vulnerable to stronger
Warsdw Pact conventional forces.
Settling the issue would end a rancorous eight
year chapter in the history of relations between
NATO and the Soviet Union, and between America
and its NATO allies, and could set the stage for
agreements on strategic weapons by the end of the
Reagan administration.
The prOgress, on intermediate nuclear force, or
INF, confirmed recent signals that Gorbachev and
President Reagan are eager for an accord, for
their own political reasons, and that arms control
issues are important enough to override other
bilateral disputes, such as recent accusations of
Soviet spying on U.S. diplomats.
Gorbachev this week reiterated his opposition to
visiting the United States, as agreed at the Geneva
nation
(medium-range missiles) with hard
work and creative effort," Shultz said
in a Moscow news conference.
"I think we made quite a lot of
progress and perhaps we can see
prospects, with hard negotiations
ahead, hut prospects close at hand of
reaching agreement in that area,"
Shultz said of the outlook on medium
range weapons.
Edward Rowny, senior arms con
trol adviser to, President Reagan,
headed for China and Japan to brief
their governments. Thomas Simons
Jr., a Soviet affairs expert in the
State Department, went to Eastern
Europe for meetings in Soviet bloc
nations.
Tass, the official Soviet news agen
cy, said the Foreign Ministry sum
moned ambassadors from Moscow's
East European allies for a briefing,
but the agency gave few details.
Shultz and Shevardnadze met for
several hours Wednesday afternoon
before the news conference, and the
Soviet official said later that chances
for a Washington summit were "rath
er good."
Shevardnadze added, however,
that the two sides must "tuck up our
sleeves and work."
In a similar assessment, Shultz
said: "It's fair to say that we and the
Soviets have similar views that such
a meeting ought to be associated with
important content and has to be a
well-prepared meeting."
Gorbachev's offer to combine con
straints on short-range missiles with
eliminating medium-range rockets
appeared to address Western de-

"We're very confident that if we
have an opportunity to present the
facts fairly, that it will be clear to
everybody, to the American people,
to the public, to the media, to the
Marine Corps, that Sgt. Lonetree is a
patriotic, young Marine," Stuhff said.
William Kunstler, another attorney
representing Lonetree, said the de
fense had offered two legal motions
yesterday, both of which were denied
by the hearing officer. The first was a
motion to open the pre-trial proceed

said.

summit in November 1985, unless he Tan sign an
arms deal.
And Reagan, battered by the Iran-Contra affair,
appears eager to reach the first arms control
agreement of his presidency.
After three days of talks in Moscow with Gorba
chev and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard She
vardnadze, Shultz said an agreement was "close
at hand" in on-again off-again INF talks.
The breakthrough was Gorbachev's promise to
enter negotations aimed at eliminating, within a
year, shorter-range Soviet missiles, SS-12s, SS-22s
and SS-235.
The United States has no comparable weapons,
and the Western alliance has demanded that they
be part of an INF deal. The Soviet Union previous
ly insisted that they be considered separately. And
the Kremlin previously balked at Washington's
demand that it be allowed the right, as part of an
INF agreement, to match the Soviet shorter-range
missiles.
The stalemate over medium-range missiles
dates to the NATO decision in 1979 to confront the
Kremlin over the deployment of Soviet triple-war
head SS-20 missiles, weapons with a range of 3,000
miles, capable of hitting Western Europe.
In a "two-track decision" NATO agreed to
deploy 572 U.S. cruise and Pershing 2 missiles in
Western Europe while seeking negotiated withdra
wal of the SS-20s.
In November 1981, President Reagan offered the
"zero solution," whereby the United States would

their SS-20s.
The Kremlin refused, and the U.S. missile de
ployment went forward, prompting massive street
protests in Western Europe, straining the NATO
alliance.
At the same time, Moscow buttres'sed its short
er-range SS-12s with two new missiles, the SS-22
and SS-23, with ranges of 350 to 600 miles, capable
of hitting Western Europe from bases in Czecho
slovakia and East Germany.
At the superpower summit in Reykjavik last
October, Reagan and Gorbachev adopted a va
riant of the !`zero option," agreeing that the Soviet
Union would remove all its SS-20s from Europe,
but retain 100 warheads in Asia. The United States
would keep 100 similar weapons on its own territo
ry.
At Reykjavik, however, Gorbachev insisted that
no agreement was possible unless Reagan would
restrict research on his "Star Wars" missile
defense system to the laboratory.
Last Feb. 28, Gorbachev reversed himself, say
ing that a. separate INF deal was possible. After
the meeting this week in Moscow, Shultz said the
Soviet leader was still seeking curbs on Star Wars,
formally known as the Strategic Defense Initia
tive, within the framework of an agreement on
intercontinental nuclear weapons.
A few wrinkles remain in the INF deal: Soviet
objections to keeping the U.S. missiles in Alaska,
within range of Russia's Pacific Coast.

NATO allies probably will applaud
U.S. reluctance about a new Kremlin

agreement to withdraw medium

leave 'their nations more vulnerable
to greater Soviet readiness for con

"We can't live without nuclear
weapons because of the Soviet superi

According to NATO, the Soviets
have at least a 7-1 advantage in short
range nuclear weapons those with
ranges of less than 600 miles in
cluding one category for which the
United States has no equivalent in
Europe.
A Tass account of the Shultz-Gorba
chev meeting Tuesday said the Soviet
leader offered not only to eliminate
medium-range nuclear rockets, with
a range of 600 to 3,000 miles, but also
the short-range arsenals.
The official news agency said
Shultz insisted the United States have
the right to add short-range missiles
up to the Soviet total.
NATO began a unilateral reduction
of battlefield nuclear weapons under
a 1983 decision to replace such older
nuclear systems such as the Nike and
Hercules with newer, non-nuclear
weapons. An example of those is the
Patriot air-defense system now in use
in West Germany.
Its plan was to reduce the number
of tactical nuclear warheads by 1,400,,
to 4,600 by the end of 1988. That would
be the lowest total in 20 years.
The alliance has not yet developed
a formal position on reductions in
short-range nuclear weapons but

Joseph Michel, 75, of nearby West
Mifflin, wasn't buying it.
"He can't do it. The mills are never
coming back," said Michel. "It's just
a political strategy to get the people
interested. It's not going to happen. It
can't happen. It's impossible."
The cadaver of the steel mill and
the soup kitchen stand in stark con
trast to the glory days when the
Mononagela Valley was the heart of
the U.S. steel industry.
Robert Anderson, 42, a laid-off
steelworker and founder of the kitch
en, argued that Hart's visit had its
value.
"He's sort of using us, but we feel
we're using him. We want to keep the
issues out in the open. The whole
point is to try to get help for people,"
said Anderson. "Things just continue
to get worse around here."
Hart followed a well-worn path to
this scene of smokestack misery.

Competition up for Navy women
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Competition has stiffened for women
seeking to enroll at the U.S. Naval Academy, which also has
accepted fewer women than the military or air force academies, a
study shows.
The findings, part of the first comprehensive study on the
education of women at the academy, also showed that female
midshipmen dropped out at a higher rate and receive poorer
grades than men during their freshmen years at the academy. But
those women who graduated usually finished ahead of their male

Cdmr. Marsha J. Evans, the academy's only female battalion

Court OKs enrolling kids with AIDS
TRENTON, N.J. The New Jersey Supreme Court today upheld
the validity of a state Board of Education policy that directs local
districts to admit children afflicted with AIDS unless they suffer
from behavioral problems.
In a 19-page opinion, the state's highest court unanimously
rejected arguments by the school boards of Washington Borough in
Warren County and Plainfield that local districts have the authori
ty to set admissions standards.
The court described the state board's regulations as "thoughtful
efforts intended to protect both school children's health and school
children's right to a public education."
The board's policy states that AIDS victims will be allowed to
attend public schools unless they exhibit behavioral problems or
suffer from excessive drooling or a lack of control over bodily
