High, 75. '86 Indianapolis 500 to be televised live by ABC day afternoon of the three-year contract. "It's always been our desire to present the greatest of all automobile races live to millions of fans and I'm extremely pleased," said Spence. "This is not the first year the subject came up," stated Cloutier, who admitted ABC has been pushing the Speedway for a live telecast for years. "We realized we should let more people see it as it was happening.

"Of course if you have a real good thing and everything is going right, there is a hesitance to change things. It's possible we could lose to watch and don't come to the track." Even though ABC has spent the past 20 years televising Indianapolis, the hardcore racing fans have howled at the lack of actual racing coverage. ABC has strayed away from what's happening on the track to go with personality sketches or features several of which can be described as ill-timed as well as boring. Spence was asked if the live show will include more wheel-to-wheel action? "Yes, we will have more pure racing," he replied. "However, we're now in a position to deal with cau- tion periods and it's still our intent to air features and other subject matter during this time." CBS, which covers the Daytona 500 live, and NBC, which brings the Michigan 500 to the nation flag-to-flag, both made it known they were interested in Indianapolis.

Cloutier was asked if there was a bidding war? "No, because our previous contract with ABC gave them the right of first refusal," he answered. "We were aware other networks were interested but there was no othpr bidding." Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

SANDLER UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Santa Barbara, Calif. President Reagan and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze will meet Sept 27 to discuss "the prospects for progress in all areas of U.S.-Soviet relations" and the November superpower summit the White House said Monday.

"The president looks forward to this meeting," White House spokesman Larry Speakes said, "both to review U.S. Soviet relations and to look ahead toward his meeting with General Secretary (Mikhail) Gorbachev." The announcement made as Mr. Reagan vacationed at his mountain-top ranch, came at a time of stepped up preparations for the Nov. 1920 Reagan-Gorbachev meeting, marked by what Speakes last week called "a very sophisticated Soviet public relations" campaign. The Sept.

27 talks will take place at the White House while Shevardnadze, named July 1 to succeed veteran diplomat Andrei Gromyko, is in the United States to attend the U.N. General Assembly. "We obviously will be discussing the prospects for all areas of U.S.Soviet relations," Speakes said. He added the U.S. position at the arms control negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, "will provide a good basis for these discussions." Arms control is one of four subjects on the agenda for the nine hours of formal discussions and two to three hours of additional talks and informal contact planned for the two-day summit in Geneva.

A preliminary plan worked out By ROBIN MILLER STAR ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR For better or worse, the American Broadcasting Company is taking on the Indianapolis 500 as it unfolds for the first time beginning in 1986. ABC, which has provided delayed, prime time coverage of Indy since 1971, will debut its live show next May 25 a 4Vi hour production that will be blacked out in Indiana. Jim Spence, senior vice president at ABC, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Joe Cloutier made a joint announcement Mon- Falwell defends S.

He vowed to wage a $1 million media campaign in support of Pretoria and blasted Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu.

"The president gave us nothing to take away with us," Catholic Bishop Denis Hurley complained. "The two perceptions of the South African community were so different that we hardly communicated at all." At the same time, police in Pretoria said they arrested 94 people in four incidents of racial unrest.

Eighty-eight people were arrested for "public violence" in a single incident at Robertson, 750 miles southwest of Johannesburg, police said. They gave no details of the clash. Six people were arrested on similar charges in incidents near Johannesburg and outside the diamond-mining town of Kimberley. No details were released. Rev.

Falwell, a television evangelist who has lashed out against liberalism, communism, gay rights, pornography, abortion and sex education in the schools, met with Botha before the president's meeting with the South African clergymen. Afterward, the leader of the Moral Majority said he agreed with Botha that apartheid is more "a social reality" than a government policy. Rev. Falwell also said Americans were falsely informed about South Africa and he would spend (1 million on television advertisements to correct the impression.

Even though 215 ABC affiliates picked up the race last May, the Indy 500 ratings haven't been very good.

"There was a need in TV terms to address the recent results of delayed telecasts, which were not what we hoped," acknowledged Spence. "We were not generating the audience level we were before and neither of us were satisfied.

Shultz calls for the first day to be devoted to a general exchange of views. On the second day, the two superpowers have agreed to zero in on three areas of mutual concern: arms control, regional issues and bilateral relations.

Mr. Reagan also intends to raise the issue of human rights, officials said, despite a refusal by the Soviets to add that topic to the official agenda. The pre-summit posturing continued Monday as the Soviets proposed an international conference on the militarization of outer space an issue brought to the forefront of the arms control debate by Mr. Reagan's determination to press ahead with research on his "Star Wars" missile defense program. His refusal to even consider curbs on research and development has been one of the principal sticking points in the Geneva arms talks, which began March 12.

Also at Santa Barbara Monday, Mr. Reagan's national security adviser, Robert C. McFarlane, said that a fundamental change in U.S.Soviet relations "will not happen in our lifetime" and may be possible only if the Soviet system adopts Western-style values. In a speech outlining U.S. goals for the president's fall summit meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail S.

The past few races have been sold out seatwise long before the first car turns a wheel at 16th Georgetown. "Everything except the back-stretch bleachers are already sold for next year," confirmed Cloutier. "Of course we never have a complete sellout because there's lots of acres out there in the infield.
