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. The Southfield native apparently left her house and went for what police called "one of her typical walks" through a hilly area along S. State Street to the site of her death.

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. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who negotiated the set- tlement on key provisions with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, made the formal U.S. declaration that--except for See U.S., Page2 by the plan. more gasoline available to farmers an to industries engaged in producin energy under a compromise reache moments before the Senate showdown, These concessions came in additio to modifications made by the presider earlier-modifications which th Senate accepted on a 66-30 vote short) before approving the overall plan.
