MOSCOW UPI — Secretary of State Dean Rusk plans to “cover the waterfront” in his talks on the Black Sea today with Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, diplomatic sources said. They said Rusk’s discussions may range from major cold war issues to the question of freeing an imprisoned American. Rusk, who came to Moscow to sign the nuclear test bin treaty has remained to hold talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Khruschev on possible further progress in easing the cold war. He flew Thursday to Khrushchev’s holiday villa near the Black Sea resort of Gagra and was due back in the capital later today. Both sides have expressed the hope that the treaty baning nuclear tests in the air, outer space, and under water is "only a beginning” of steps to ease tension between East and West. But there appear to be differences over what step to take next. Khrushchev has pressed for a non-aggression pact between NATO and the Warsaw treaty al-

liance.

The United States is more concerned with the security of Berlin and with the Soviet suggestion that means be found to guard against surprise attack by either side. Berlin has taken on new importance in the thinking of the American delegation, which also includes Ambassador Foy D. Kohler and the former ambassador to Moscow, Llewellyn D. Thompson.
