SALTu
MOSCOW (Reuter - Secre-
tary of State Henry Kissinger
yesterday explained American
ideas on a new Strategic Arms
Limitation (Salt) agreement to
Soviet Communist Party Chief
Leonid Brezhnev.
There were no immediate de-
tails of the U. S. suggestions
nor of the Soviet reaction, al-
though Kremlin officials are
understood to have been indi-
cating they did not regard the
SALT problem with the same
urgency as Kissinger.t s
The Secretary' of State and
Brezhnev met twice during the
day to follow up Thursday's
seven hours of discussions,
which were devoted largely to
bilateral relations, the Middle
East and the slow-moving Euro-
pean statement said the morn-
ing talks yesterday between Kis-
singer and Brezhnev had taken
place in "a very friendly and
very cordial atmosphere" and
lasted for two-and-a-half hours.
U.S. officials said yesterday's
talks were largely devoted to
SALT - a topic Kissinger is
understood to regard as being
at the core of the detent pro-
cess that both countries have
pledged to continue energetical-
ly.
Although no information wasj
released on details of the talks,
Kissinger is known to have
come to Moscow hoping to work
out guidelines for discussion on
a new agreement that could be
formally approved at a summit
between Brezhnev and Presi-
dent Ford.
THE SUMMIT is believed to
be in the forefront of Soviet
thinking at the moment, and a
time and place for it - prob-
ably the last week of Novem-
ber in the far east - are ex-
pected to be announced before
Kissinger leaves for India to-
morrow.
lans
Most signs in Moscow sug-
gest that the Soviet leadership
will not move on to any sub-
stantive consideration of SALT
until they have a chance to
assess Ford's commitment to
detente at first hand.
This appeared to be confirm-
ed by the composition of the So-
viet side at the talks yester-
day.
ABSENT WAS Defense Minis-
ter Marshal Andrei Grechko,
who sat in on SALT discussions
during Kissinger's visit here in
March. Brezhnev was'only ac-
companied by Foreign Minister
Andrei, Gromyko, Soviet Am-
bassador to Washington Anatoly
Dobrynin and a senior ForeignI
Ministry official.
In Kissinger's group was
Helmudt Sonnenfeldt, the Sec-
retary of State's close adviser
on defense matters, and other
arms and security experts.
When Kissinger came to Mos-
cow in March, he had hoped
to achieve what he then term-
ed "a conceptual breakthrough"
on strategic arms - an accord
which would set the basis for
a new round of discussions to
extend the 1972 SALT agree-
ment.
BUT THIS did not material-
ize, apparently because the Rus-
sian view on parity in weaponry
did not match the AmericanE
ideas, and the Secretary of
State has been more reluctant to
expound his ideas publicly this
time.
However, it is known he wants
an agreement that would cover
the period from 1975 through
1985 that would make it possi-
ble to at least slow down the
spiral in the arms race
threatened by the development
of new multiple-headed wea-
pons.

"Since my opponent took office two years ago
crime in the county has doubled. Last year our
county was the first in Michigan, and ninth in
the country in total number of forcible rapes
per 100,000 people! Victims are helped very
little; they are harassed and abused; embar-
rassed, and asked unnecessary questions. We
further need v i c t i m compensation for such
crimes. Why hasn't my incumbent opponent
acted on this in the last two years?"
