"Nobody knew why she did it," said
Hawking.
Gold, who had been missing since
June 20, 1978, was "in one of those
depressed states of mind," and ap-
parently had been upset about selecting
a major at the University, according to
Hawkins.

called "one of her typical walks"

AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF BARGAINING:
U.S., Soviets to sign SALT
WASHINGTON (AP)-Winding up nearly seven years
of hard bargaining, the United States announced agreement
yesterday with the Soviet Union on a treaty to slow the
nuclear arms race.
President Carter said he and Soviet President Leonid
Brezhnev will sign the treaty at a summit meeting as soon as
it can be arranged.
"The American people have no more deeply felt wish than
to enhance our nation's security and to reduce the risk of
nuclear war," Carter said in a speech prepared for delivery
to a Democratic Party congressional campaign fund raising
dinner.
THERE WAS NO simultaneous announcement from the
Soviet Union. A senior White House official said he expected
the Russian people would be informed through the Soviet
press.
When a decision is reached on the time and place for the
Carter-Brezhnev- summit meeting there probably will be
simultaneous announcements in Washington and Moscow,
said the official, who asked not to be identified.

tlement on key provisions with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly
Dobrynin, made the formal U.S. declaration that--except for
