U.S.-Soviet talks to be only an icebreaker
Reagan administration. But his
“walk in the woods” with Soviet
negotiator Yuli Kvitsinsky in
1982 brought the two sides closer
than they ever have been to an
accord.
Instead of insisting the Soviets
dismantle all their SS-20s, it
would have had them scale down
to 300 warheads and held the
U.S. deployment to an equal
level — with the potent Per-
shings kept out of Europe.
His appointment as special ad-
viser — and his readiness to
meet with a Soviet counterpart
after Shultz and Gromyko are
done — is an overture that will
not be lost on the Kremlin. He is
there to demonstrate U.S. flex-
ibility.
How the Soviets choose to res-
pond is not clear.
Chernenko, in a letter publish-
ed Wednesday, said he hoped the
Shultz-Gromyko meeting would
lead to “mutually acceptable
understandings” on nuclear and
space weapons.
The conciliation was

WASHINGTON (AP) - Get-
ting them to talk was no mean
trick, but now that the United
States and the Soviet Union are
set to meet next month, the ques-
tion is whether they can do much
to allay mankind’s nuclear
fears.
tempered, however* by usenuc
Chernenko’s reference to “the
entire set of questions related to is a
nuclear and space weapons.” T
That is a tall order, and leaves declined to make a formal corn-
plenty of room for posturing and mitment for years on the ground
public relations. It also means it would be meaningless. The
the talks could bog down on an United Nations Charter already
almost infinite number of issues, implicitly rules out first use.
Unless the United States and
American industrialist Armand the Soviet Union settle soon on
Hammer on Tuesday that it negotiable issues, the Geneva
would be “desirable” for the meeting could be just another
United States and NATO to com- top-level meeting that did not
mit themselves not to be first to pan out.
A treaty slashing arms
arsenals clearly will not come
out of the talks between Shultz
and Gromyko. Their job is to
construct — in Reagan’s phrase
— a “framework” for
understanding.
But having Paul H. Nitze, the
veteran U.S. negotiator, at
Shultz’s side gives the Geneva
meeting additional significance.
The 77-year-old conservative
Democrat brought a hard-liner’s
reputation with him to the
arms.
That, jh the diplomatic jargon,
ion-starter.

News analysis
At best, the Jan. 7-8 session in
Geneva will be an icebreaker —
pitting through the distrust that
ha\frb^en negotiations to reduce
Soviet nuclear weapons
for more than a year.
It could be argued that the
Soviets had no option but to pro-
pose the talks once President
Reagan was re-elected. Other-
wise, the deadlock would re-
main, with the onus on Moscow
for causing the breakdown by
walking out in the first place.
Soviet President Konstantin
U. Chernenko sent the message
to the White House in mid-
November that reopened the
dialogue. The Soviet leader also
had taken two major initiatives
a few months earlier by propos-
ing space talks and sending
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko here to meet with
Reagan and Secretary of State
George P. Shultz.
And yet, less than a month
before the Shultz-Gromyko
meeting, neither side seems
prepared for the kind of conces-
sions that could lead to an early
accord. Their goals are too
dissimilar at this point.
The Soviets, for instance, are
determined to block the ad-
ministration’s Star Wars
research program on missile
defenses, while the United States
refuses to declare a moratorium
on anti-satellite tests or to delay
the deployment of new missiles
in Western Europe.
The Soviet edge in warheads
apparently is increasing. Ac-
cording to figures released
earlier this week by the State
Department, Moscow has 387
mobile SS-20s deployed, and at
least 10 new missile bases under
construction.
The United States has install-
ed 91 Pershing 2 and cruise
missiles in Britain, Italy and
West Germany in a year.
NATO’s idea in authorizing the
deployment in 1979 was to
balance the Soviet SS-20 arsenal,
but that has more than doubled
since the decision was made.
So, unless an agreement can
materialize, the Reagan ad-
ministration has every incentive
to keep going until all 572
missiles are in place. The
Soviets, meanwhile, won’t sit

WASHINGTON (AP) -
Americans with dental insur-
ance are spending more money
to take care of their teeth than
those without coverage.
That’s the conclusion of a five-
year study by David Gram-
bowski and Douglas Conrad of
the University of Washington.
The study also found that the
better a person’s coverage, the
higher his or her dental costs are
likely to be, the researchers told
the Health Insurance Associa-
tion of America. And, the more
employers pay toward their
employees’ bills, the more those
employees are likely to spend for
dental care.
