From AP and UPi
GENEVA, Switzerland - Moscow
yesterday accused the Reagan ad-
ministration of insanity for going ahead
with production of newtron warheads
and a Soviet disarmament negotiator
said there was now a greater danger of
war.
"Such a cannibalistic philosophy is
extremely dangerous and not the least
of all for Americans themselves," said
a bitter commentary by the official
Tass news agency that capped five con-
secutive days of Soviet press condem-
nation of President Reagan.
THE PRESIDENT last week an-
nounced the decision to produce and
stockpile enhanced-radiation weapons.
Speaking to reporters at his Califor-
nia ranch yesterday, Reagan accused
the Soviet Union of "the greatest
military buildup in the history of man,"
and said he has written to Soviet
President Leonid Brezhnev to suggest
they meet for talks.
But Reagan was vague on the details
and his aides refused to elaborate. It
seemed clear that no summit meeting
is being planned for the near future.
HE MAINTAINED the Soviets were
"squealing like they're sitting on a
sharp nail because we now are showing
the will that we are not going to let them
get to the point of dominance where
they can someday issue to the free
world an ultimatum of 'surrender or
die."
Speaking to the 40-nation Geneva
disarmament conference, U.S. Am-
bassador Charles Flowerree described
the neutron weapon as "preeminently
an anti-tank device" and asserted that

"(b) All students owing such

"most of the nuclear weapons in the said se's
Soviet arsenal are far more massive pun inten
and indiscriminate." Eugene,

neutron weapons "are designed not to tinues thi
make nuclear war more thinkable but United St
to make aggression less so." else is am
The Soviet Union said that relations Splashing
with Washington were at "a virtual ways con
standstill" and warned Americans they playing v

because of the U.S. decision to produce clothed p
neutron weapons. even the
U.S. negotiator Charles Flowerree, "Now we

far worse weapons.
"BUT I FEAR," he said, "that we
would wait in vain to hear them speak

times more powerful, which are is expecte
suitable for hitting cities, not tanks."
The Pentagon yesterday was con-
sidering permanently basing its
