First Lady ahead of schedule in recover from surgery 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 The Russians so far jiave! 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. So far as is known, the Rus- 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 the only ones conducted during their land-based weapons.

"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.
