Reagan, Gorbachev make headway in summit talks

By BARRY SCHWEID AP Diplomatic Writer WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev are nearing the end of their three-day White House summit today reporting “headway” but no breakthroughs on the vast problems dividing the superpowers. They awaited word from their arms control experts on whether sufficient progress had been made on the framework of a second arms control agreement to anticipate a Moscow summit next year in the closing months of Reagan’s presidency. * “We see a little progress here and there, but they are tough issues,” said Secretary of State

Raisa to meet powerful women today By SUSANNE M. SCHAFER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Raisa Gorbachev has projected a confident, take-charge style during her visit to the United States, and puts it into play one final time in America today with six of this nation’s most powerful women. Rejecting suggestions that she’s competing with first lady Nancy Reagan, Mrs. Gorbachev has tried to make it clear she’s far more interested in American art, literature, history and the improvement of U.S .-Soviet relations. “I’m a university graduate and a philosopher by profession,” she said Wednesday, explaining her interest in seeing the National Gallery of Art. But she claimed no special expertise, saying: “I just like art” Determined in her speech, yet sometimes joking and light-hearted, she represents the new Soviet woman, paralleling the image exuded by her husband, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. “A typical picture of the 20th century,” she quipped to Mrs. Reagan, pointing to the photographers, camera crews and journalists who trailed them on their tour of the White House. Later, she talked of the difficulties of coping in the modem age, a refrain familiar to both U.S. and Soviet working men and women. At the invitation of the Soviet Embassy, Mrs. Gorbachev is slated to meet today with a group of prominent American women. This evening, she ends her visit as the three-day superpower summit comes to a close. The group includes Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor; Sens. Nancy Kassebaum, RKan., and Barbara Mikulski, DMd.; Washington Post Co. chairman Katharine Graham; and University of Chicago president Hannah Holbom Gray. “She is a woman of strong character who is serious about substance,” Mikulski said of Mrs. Gorbachev. “I want to give her an insight into American society, law, and politics and the fact that women in America can achieve so much.” ' Kassebaum said she’d talk about health care and alcoholism because Mrs. Gorbachev “seems to be interested in these things.” Following their tour of the White House, Mrs. Reagan and Mrs. Gorbachev talked about the first lady’s primary project drug abuse among the young. • Mrs. Gorbachev quizzed Mrs. Reagan intently. Although her questions showed she’d boned up a bit on her U.S. history, she had to be corrected when she said she thought Thomas Jefferson wrote the Constitution. Mrs. Reagan appeared at a loss, however, when her Soviet guest asked when the White House was built. The first lady could not give a date, so the assistant curator at the mansion, Betty Monkman, stepped in to offer facts and figures. Mrs. Gorbachev stopped to talked to reporters on the tour, telling them: “Meeting you, for me, is meeting Americans.” When Mrs. Gorbachev first arrived at the White House, Mrs. Reagan tried to escort her inside, but the Soviet first lady resisted her direction and turned instead to talk with journalists. Mrs. Reagan described as “silly” reports that the two first ladies were in a clothes competition or that they had had tiffs. When Mrs. Gorbachev was asked for her view on the reported chill in relations, Mrs. Reagan interjected, saying she’d already answered the question “five times.”

George P. Shultz. The atmosphere has been good but there’s been scant evidence of solid achievement. Soviet and American arms experts labored late Wednesday night at the State Department, searching for ways to reduce long-range nuclear weapons without restraining Reagan’s “Star Wars” program to devise a space-based missile defense. Success could mean instructions that Reagan and Gorbachev would send to U.S. and Soviet negotiators in Geneva on how to achieve a 50 percent cutback in long-range nuclear bombers, missiles and submarines. The two leaders set that as their goal last year in Iceland and again when Gorbachev

and Reagan shook hands Tuesday at the start of the summit Gorbachev told Reagan at a dinner Wednesday night at the Soviet Embassy that “in some areas we remain far apart,” although “we have made headway on a number of important issues and this is cause for optimism.” Reagan, in his toast at the dinner, spoke of “differences that reach to the core values on which our political systems are based.” “Even so we can make progress,” Reagan said, adding that “perhaps in this Christmas season we should look at an even deeper and more enduring realism. ... It is the reality that binds each of us as individual souls.” Gorbachev, in his toast, said,

“Bombs and missiles cannot think. ... Those devices have neither souls nor conscience and so they are more dangerous than any madman.” Today Gorbachev and Vice President George Bush were having breakfast with academics, industrialists and scientists and, this afternoon, he was meeting with leading American businessmen in an effort to spur greater U.S.-Soviet trade. After this morning’s session and a working lunch with Reagan, the summit will wind up with a joint statement, a news conference by Gorbachev and an address by Reagan to the nation tonight at 9 p.m. EST as the Soviet leader leaves.

Europe said Gorbachev would meet with his Warsaw Pact allies in East Berlin before returning to Moscow. An administration source, speaking privately, said it was unlikely there would be any progress on withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan but it was possible there could be some movement on arms control. He meant going beyond the landmark treaty Reagan and Gorbachev signed on Tuesday to scrap about 2,600 intermediate-range nuclear missiles. A U.S. official said more than 1,100 launchers would be junked, as well. Earlier, at a State Department luncheon, the Soviet leader renewed his call for nuclear disarmament by the end of the century.

Gorbachev said the accord makes it easier to take bigger steps. “We have no intention of stopping in the early stages,” he said. In a late-aftemoon meeting with a group of editors and publishers, Gorbachev said he and Reagan had reached a point where they could “conduct a dialogue that befits leaders of two great nations.” They were dealing “less and less in platitudes,” the Soviet leader said. Reagan, in an interview with columnists, noted that Gorbachev has said publicly he wanted to pull troops out of Afghanistan. Without revealing details of the talks, Reagan said the two sides have been working on that question.
