WASHINGTON () - The Rus-
sians have test fired two new
long-range, submarine-launched
missiles about 4,900 miles from
the far north Barents Sea into
the Pacific, the Pentagon an-
nounced yesterday.
They outranged the longest-
reaching U.S. missile fired from
submarines by about 2,000 nil-
es.
OFFICIALS said the Soviet
firings, presumably from a new
SDelta class submarine, were the
longest-range Soviet submarine-
launched missiles yet observ-
ed by the United States.
The tests, conducted Wednes-
day, represented the first Rus-
sian missile shots into the Pa-
cific since last winter when the
Soviets tested multiple inde-
pendently targetable warheads
(MIRV's) aboard new land-
based intercontinental ballistic
missiles.
THE PENTAGON said the
two SSN8ssubmarine-launched
missiles observed in the n e w
tests were single warheads. The
warheads landed about 500 nau-
tical miles north of Midway Is-
land, the Pentagon said.
The tests came during renew-
ed U.S.-Soviet negotiations aim-
ed at working out a long-term"
agreement to control 'tuclear
weapons. There has been a vir-
tual stalemate on the issue for
many months.
The Soviet Union had an-I
nounced that it would conduct'
rocket-firing tests into the
Northwest Pacific between Sept.
25 and Oct. 5, and warned ships
and planes to remain clear of
the area.
THE PENTAGON noted that
Tass, the Russian news agency,
announced earlier Thursday that
missile firingshave concluded
and that the area is now free
for navigation.
The Pentagon said the two
submarine-launched shots were

built 10 of the new Delta class
subs, with about five of tnem
already in operation and : h e
others believed to be fitting out
or undergoing sea trials.
Several of this class of sub
are being built at a yard near
Vladivostok on Russia's Pacific
coast. Most have been construc-
ted on the Barents Sea coast
from which they may deploy
into the Atlantic.
A SSN8 missile from Delta-
type subs has been charted by
the United States previously at
4,100 miles.
The Russians also have some
34 earlier Yankee class missile
submarines with much shorter
range weapons.

The United States has been
converting 31 of its 41 Polaris
submarines to the Poseidon mis-
sile which can cary up to 14
separately targetable warheads.
THE POSEIDON missile has
a range of a little less t h a n
2,900 miles.
The United States also is de-
veloping two new Trident mis-
siles, one with a range of 4,500
miles and a later model with
a planned reach of 6,500 miles.
Under the first stage strategic
Arms Limitation SALT agree-
ment, both sides are free to im-
prove their missiles and mi sile-
firing equipment, although they
are limited in numbers of mis-
siles.
That agreement permits the
Russians to deploy up to 950
missiles in 62 sugmarines, while

WASHINGTON (A) - First Lady Betty Ford,
ahead of schedule in her recovery from surgery,
began to read her mail yesterday and was re-
ported thrilled by the expressions of concern
for her.
"She also is aware of the impact that her ill-
ness has made on people" and that thousands
of women across the country have been rushing
to seek breast cancer examinations, said her
press secretary, Helen Smith.
PRESIDENT FORD told Oval Office visitors
yesterday morning: "Betty's doing very, very,
well. She is about two or three days ahead of
what the doctors prognosticated as the rate of
recovery. So, we're very happy."
Mrs. Ford's surgeon, Navy Capt. William
Fouty, said in the latest hospital bulletin that
she was making an "excellent recuperation and
her attitude and spirits are excellent."
The doctor said that Mrs. Ford was permit-
ted to eat whatever she wanted yesterday and
was allowed to move about her suite at Be-
thesda Naval Medical Center, where she un-
derwent breast cancer surgery Saturday.
"AS WITH any post-operative patient," Dr.
Fouty said, "Mrs. Ford has not regained her
full strength, but I would describe her post-
operative course to date as uncomplicated and
her present condition as excellent."
THE WHITE House reported there have been
10,000 letters, more than 500 telephone calls and
over 200 telegrams for Mrs. Ford. And there
was even a check sent to the White House for
$5,000 for the American Cancer Society.
One spokesman for the cancer society report-
ed that Mrs. Ford's ordeal with the disease has
awakened women across the country to the
dangers they also face.
