MOSCOW—Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev
told President Reagan today it may be “time to
bang our fists on the table” to prod negotiators to
conclude work on a treaty cutting strategic nu-
clear arms stockpiles by 50 percent.
“I’ll do anything that works,” the president told
Gorbachev.
The Soviet leader expressed new hopes for com-
pleting a major arms treaty, but it was not clear
whether he was talking about getting it done by
summit’s end — or merely before Reagan's term
concludes next January. Soviet and American
officials have said repeatedly they do not expect a
strategic arms pact (START) to be concluded

in his heels on his Strategic Defense Initiative
missile defense plan, one of the key obstacles to
agreement on a strategic arms treaty. “It’s never
been a part of the negotiations,” he said in re-
sponse to a question.
Without addressing Star Wars, Gorbachev said
he was confident there would be progress on arms
issues.
“And I’m sure that if the president makes good
use of his time that we have remaining, I’m sure
that we will be able to prepare the treaty,” Gor-
bachev said.
At that point, a reporter asked Reagan if he, too,
thought a treaty could be concluded. “Yes, I’m
very pleased to hear what they’re saying.” Asked
again if a treaty was possible, Gorbachev stepped

Although the appraised market value of Cooke
County property has increased again this year, the 1988
taxable value of county property will remain about the
same as it was in 1987.
The estimated 1988 market value of county property
is about $1.25 billion compared to $1.1 billion in 1987 and
slightly more than $1 billion in 1986. The 1988 estimated
taxable value for county property is about $810 million
compared to the same figure for 1987 and about $832
million in 1986, according to Bill Sherman, chief ap-
praiser for the Cooke County Appraisal District.
The difference between the market value and the
taxable value widened because so many more county

mated $417 million will be lost in 1988, ” Sherman said.

in to answer, saying, “If that question is to me, yes
I think a START treaty is possible. ’ ’
The Soviet leader recalled that he and Reagan,
at their first summit in Geneva in 1985, had
reached an impasse at one point. He said that at
that point, “the president said, ‘Well, let’s stamp
our fists on the table.’ ‘I said all right,’ and by
morning everything was agreed, the Geneva nego-
tiations were successfully completed. ’’
“Maybe now it is again a time to bang our fists on
the tahle once again,” Gorbachev said.
Asked by a reporter if he agreed, Reagan said,

; “I see the value of computers as being an added tool
in the class, and it’s neat because they give the children
immediate answers,” said Pennington, who works as
an educational representative for a Denton computer
firm.
“We try and coordinate the problems with what they
do in class. The computers are so easy to learn. A lot of
them had been exposed to them in homes or different
places.” : ' -
Pennington said many of the parents who volun-
teered had no experience with computers, but this was
easily remedied by a quick training session.
“Without us coming in, I don’t think the computers
would’ve been used as much as they are. If we didn’t do
something, they might just sit there,” she said.
“I think all the students feel comfortable with the
computers, and if that’s our only acheivement this
year, it’s worth it.”
“It’s been wonderful, absolutely wonderful. They’ve

On their third day of talks, Reagan and Gor-
bachev met in the Soviet leader’s Kremlin office,
sitting beneath a portrait of Karl Marx. After their
discussions, they took an unscheduled stroll on Red
Square past the tomb of Lenin and shook hands
with surprised tourists.
The leaders also watched and joined in the ap-
plause as Secretary of State George P. Shultz and
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze
signed several secondary agreements, including a
pair of arms accords. Under one such pact agreed
to in Moscow, the superpowers will notify each
other of the time, place and intended target of
intercontinental-range missiles tests.

Parents across the district have shown their willing-
ness to get involved in the life of the GISD, and a group
of Edison School parents have proven no exception.
For 90 minutes each school day — and another 30
minutes each Tuesday for special education students
— the parents are in the school library, tutoring small
groups of students in computer exercises.
“I think it’s working well for us and I want to share it
with some of the other schools and get them excited,”
said Lenelda Pennington, an Edison parent who coor-
dinates the volunteer efforts. "0

Traffic' accidents had
claimed at least 21 lives as
Texans returned home from
outings during the long Mem-
orial Day holiday weekend,
authorities said.
The toll had reached 21 by
late Monday as the weekend
drew to a close.
The deaths include three
people thrown from the back of
a pickup while the driver was
drag racing on a Dallas street.
The 14-year-old driver in that
wreck had taken his parents’
car without permission, Dallas
police Lt. Willie Craven said
Sunday.
In the drag racing accident,
15 people ranging in age from 12
to 22 had climbed into the ve-
hicles before the race' along
Maple Avenue in central
Dallas, including seven who
were riding in the bed of the
pickup, Craven said.
The car and truck bumped
and both wept out of control,
