WIELAARD Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland Foreign ministers of NATO meeting here to day are expected to support Kremlin offers to work toward ridding Europe of nuclear weapons with ranges above 300 miles. October, President Reagan and Sovi et leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev agreed in principle to the elimination of medium-range missiles those with ranges of 600-1,500 miles. U.S. and Soviet negotiators in Geneva are discussing such an agreement. Two months ago, Gorbachev ex tended the offer to include missiles with ranges of 300-600 miles, in which the United States says the Soviets have a huge advantage. A common response from the North Atlantic alliance has been delayed because the European allies, partic ularly West Germany, have been worried about their vulnerability to superior Soviet conventional forces if the nuclear umbrella is removed. Last week, West German Chan cellor Helmut Kohl’s government en dorsed the proposals with the proviso that its 72 short-range Pershing lAs, which have,a range of 450 miles, be excluded from any agreement. The missiles are controlled by West Ger many and their nuclear warheads by the United States.

He said the allies will support re moval of the weapons but also em phasize their desire for East-West talks to reduce chemical and conven tional arms, in which “there is an 'inbalance in the Warsaw Pact’s fa vor.” West Germany is expected to insist on U.S.-Soviet negotiations on reduc ing battlefield, or tactical, nuclear arms. As the front-line NATO coun try, it would bear the brunt of an attack with such weapons. At their Reykjavik summit, Rea gan and Gorbachev agreed in prin ciple that an accord on medium range weapons would remove the U.S.-built Pershing 2 and cruise mis siles, and Soviet SS-20s, from Europe and allow each superpower to keep 100 warheads on its own soil. Those 200 remaining medium range missiles probably would be deployed in Soviet Asia and Alaska. A senior NATO official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the final communique from the foreign ministers’ meeting will “likely state that the allies preferably want all such missiles removed. ... This would make verification of compli ance with the accord simpler.” About cuts in conventional arms, Carrington said “there are procedu ral difficulties” in allied consulta tions conducted over the past year. He added, however, that “it is perfectly natural that there should be such difficulties." ow Sale Prices!

There were no immediate reports of injuries or dam age. “We’ve had a pretty strong earthquake,” reported Bruce Presgrave of the National Earthquake Information Center of the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. “We’re still working it. We don’t have a magnitude yet but apparently it was felt over a pretty wide area in the Midwest.” The quake was felt in Missouri, lowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. “We haven’t gotten any official information, but we felt it here,” said Dennis Dixon, a National Weather Service forecaster in Ann Arbor, about 40 miles west of Detroit. “I was sitting here at the (computer) screen and things started moving,” he said. Dixon said it occurred about 7:50 p. m. and continued for several minutes. In Illinois, the earthquake was felt as far north as Chicago, and as far south as the St. Louis border. The tremor rumbled through several Illinois cities, shak ing skyscrapers in Chicago and the state Capitol in Springfield. “It was a fairly large earthquake in northeastern ‘lllinois,” said Sean Morrissey of the geophysics depart ment at St. Louis University. “We don’t have any magni tude yet. We felt it in our building here.” “I was sitting in my office watching the file cabinets move,” said Cmdr.

Erie Jones, executive director of the Central United States Earthquake Consortium based in Marion, esti mated the tremor was in “excess of three” on the Richter scale, a magnitude that can cause slight damage. “But we won’t know for a couple of hours until we get the seismograph readings,” Jones said. “I sure sensed it. It rang the chimes on our clock. Workers in Detroit buildings and Tiger Stadium also felt the tremor, and a guest on the eighth floor of the 25- story Hotel Ponchartrain downtown felt it, said night manager Ophelia Twine. The tremor also was felt in Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and Chicago. Patients at a Parkersburg, W.Va., hospital were upset by the quake, hospital workers said. “They’re a little bit shook: up, but we’ve got them calmed down,” said Terry Everson, a nurse at Camden- Clark Memorial Hospital. She said “some beds were shaking, but nothing really dramatic happened. The people walking around couldn’t really feel anything.” Everson said the tremor was very brief, The quake also was felt in many parts of Tennessee, said Millie McGuigan, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency in Nashville.
