California-style rationing implemented in the East

By PETER M.U'KI.KR Associated Press Writer California-style gasoline rationing was hfeaded east as officials in seven states and the District of Columbia moved to cut long lines at fuel pumps where gas prices topped $1 a gallon in some places. With protesting truckers bottling up some fuel deliveries and mid-month gasoline stocks dwindling in many areas, others; states were also gearing up for anticipated shortages. "People keep calling to ask what they can do," said William Goode, Florida's energy watchdog. "Most of them can’t face the fact that they have to live with less gas." There were also rumblings among service station owners

that they might "close up and go fishing" to protest federal pricing policies they say are squeezing them out of a decent living. "New York Gov. Hugh Carey said Monday he would begin “odd-even" gasoline rationing in New York City and its suburbs at midnight tonight and New Jersey Gov. Brendan Byrne said he would do the same in his state Thursday. New Jersey highway officials already had begun the system today on a major artery, the Garden State Parkway. Officials also planned to start rationing Thursday in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia unless current measures of staggering gas stations’ hours and minimum sales

proved effective. In Connecticut, Gov. Ella Grasso was to meet with legislative leaders today to discuss her plans for a rationing system. Florida officials readied emergency measures such as a ban on “topping off” of tanks in areas where supplies were scarce. Odd-even rationing in which motorists may buy fuel on alternates days depending on the final number on their license plates also was to begin Monday in three of Texas’ most populous counties Dallas, Tarrant and Harris. “We will institute this program in those three counties, but the rest of the state had better understand it will get worse before it gets better,” Gov. Bill Clements said Monday night.

'No real dialogue at talks' VIENNA, Austria (AP) - President Leonid Brezhnev and his aides presented “no change in any aspect of their position on anything” during the Vienna summit meeting with President Carter, says a U.S. official who was there. “Never this week was there any evidence of a real dialogue, a real give and take, with the one exception of the Backfire bomber,” said the official, who declined to be identified by name. The American source, in a conversation Monday following the conclusion of the summit, reported these observations and conclusions: Brezhnev, despite his failing health, was clearly in charge of the Soviet delegation although there were moments when he grew tired and dozed off. His physical condition deteriorated from alertness on Saturday, the first day of meetings, to haziness on Sunday. On Sunday, his speech became so slurred that even his personal interpreter had trouble understanding him. “During the meetings, particularly on Sunday, he gave evidence of closing his eyes and dozing.” The others in the room “just tried to ignore him.” This fatigue was understandable in a man of 72 after two days of intense talks. And Sunday night at dinner Brezhnev “perked up considerably” and drank two or three glasses of wine. The Soviet president read almost everything he had to say, from prepared scripts, and passed certain subjects on to Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Carter did most of the talking on the American side, and did most of it extemporaneously, with the aid of hand written notes. Carter took a tough position on some issues, particularly in regard to regional conflicts around the world. Politburo member Konstantin U. Chernenko, whose presence at the summit aroused some speculation that he might be being groomed to succeed Brezhnev, “intervened not at all in the plenary sessions.”

Carter's appeal for SALT II ratification based on 'common sense'

WASHINGTON (AP) - In a test of how best to deal with the Soviet Union and diminish the threat of nuclear war, the Senate is scrutinizing the SALT II treaty after hearing a solemn pledge from President Carter to carry his fight for ratification “to every American who will listen.” Carter’s appeal to a joint session of Congress Monday night did nothing to diminish demands from critics for substantial changes in the treaty, which was negotiated over a sevenyear period. “I think the treaty has no chance of being passed without amendment,” said Senate Republican Leader Howard H. Baker of Tennessee. The harshest reaction came from Sen. Henry M. Jackson, DWash., who called the president “foolish.” “I think he’s been foolish,” said Jackson, a hard-line opponent of SALT. Strong support for the treaty came from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a frequent Carter critic on domestic issues. “History will judge the Senate harshly if we fail to fulfill the promise now at hand,” said Kennedy. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is working out a detailed schedule of hearings on the treaty. The panel plans to open its public examination of the agreement July 9, with Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance and Defense Secretary Harold Brown presenting the administration’s case. Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, chairman of the committee, said he thought Carter “made a strong impact on the country.” But Church added he thought it was impossible to gauge the reaction of the Senate at this early stage in the debate. “What this country needs is

U. S., Soviet SALT II at-a-glance WASHINGTON (AP) - Here are highlights of the SALT II treaty signed Monday in Vienna: DURATION The treaty runs through 1985, with a separate protocol that will expire in 1981 LIMITS Each side would be limited initially to 2,400 strategic missiles and bombers. The number would drop to 2,250 in 1981. Within those limits are subceilings: no more than 820 landbased missiles with multiple warheads (MIRVs); no more than 1,200 land and sea-based missiles with MIRVs; and a combined total of no more than 1,320 MIRVed missiles and bombers equipped with cruise missiles. In addition, the number of warheads on land-based missiles is limited to 10; on submarine-based missiles to 14; and the number of cruise missiles per bomber to an average of 28. The United States agrees not to deploy or test groundlaunched or sea-launched cruise missiles during the protocol period. ARMS REDUCTIONS The Soviets would, by the end of 1981, have to destroy some 270 aging missiles, according to American estimates. The United States would have to destroy about 35 monthballed B--52 bombers. NEW WEAPONS The treaty permits both sides to introduce air-launched cruise missiles into their arsenals and to develop as many new submarine-based missiles as they wish. It permits one new landbased missile. After 1981, this could be a mobile missile. The administration estimates that by the end of 1985, the United States will have increased its total of nuclear warheads from 9,200 to almost 12,000, and the Soviets from 5.000 to 10,000.

an intelligent and rational and informed debate and I hope that the Senate will rise to that responsibility,” Church said. Carter made it clear, in a speech obviously aimed at a national television audience as well as Congress, that he believes the best argument for SALT is to consider the world without it. “SALT II is a matter of com-

mon sense,” said the president. “SALT II does not end the arms competition, but it does make that competition safer and more predictable, with clear rules and verifiable limits where otherwise there would be no rules and there would be no limits.” Without the treaty, Carter said: The Soviets could build 1,000 new missiles, double the

number of warheads on existing missiles, triple the production, rate of the Backfire bomber, in-, crease the Backfire’s range, en-, code all data from missile tests,, and hide all their launchers. The treaty limits each nation to deployment of 2,250 launchers for intercontinental weapons, a reduction from the 2,400, allowed under SALT I. The agreement also limits to 1,200 the number of ballistic missiles,; that can be armed with multiple. - warheads. Carter pledged that the defense and foreign policy officials of his administration would testify before the Senate “in detail and in public” and ad-' ded that “this treaty wilh withstand the most severe scrutiny.” The president also pledged:' “I will explain it throughout our nation to every American who will listen.” Both supporters and critics are drafting new language to address troubling issues raised during the long history of negotiations. Sen. Barry Goldwater. RAriz., filed an amendment even before Carter and Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev signed the treaty Monday in Vienna. Austria. Goldwater’s change • would count the Soviet Backfire bomber among the weapons limited by the pact. The Soviets have made it clear they would reject the treaty rather than include the Backfire, which they claim is a medium-range plane. Other amendments in preparation would require the Soviets to destroy their giant missiles or allow the United States to deploy strategic weapons of equal size. During their Vienna summit, both Carter and Brezhnev in-, dicated that changes on r >ajor issues could kill the treaty. Mother signs incest complaint LAWRENCE, Mass.
