The Copyright 19B6, The Arizona Republic 35C SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1986 0 PHOENIX, ARIZONA MTH VEAft, U6. 181 U.S '8? may stall' broach of SALT 111 pact velopments, the officials said: The Soviet Union has agreed to hold an extra session of the Geneva arms negotiations in early December, between the formal rounds of those talks. Soviet negotiators privately took a somewhat "more positive" stand on arms issues at Geneva last week, compared with previous public statements. Moscow has moved closer to acknowledging that its huge radar station at Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, violates the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Mis sile Treaty, as the United States has insisted. As a result, although some U.S.

officials remain skeptical, others are expressing hope that the arms stalemate may be broken next month. The deadlock stemmed from last month's "minisummit" in Reykjavik, Iceland, and continued with inconclusive meetings last week between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze in Vienna, Austria. Regarding the SALT II limits, By ROBERT TOTH Lot Angelee Timet WASHINGTON In a move that would avoid adding a new stumbling block to arms control, the Reagan administration has decided to postpone deployment of new weapons that would actually break the SALT II treaty's numerical limits on strategic nuclear weapons until at least next year, even though it formally renounced the treaty in May, according to U.S. officials. In other potentially positive de-.

the ceiling-busting 131st B-52 bomber armed with cruise missiles will not be deployed until next year, the officials said. Originally scheduled to become operational earier this week, and then Dec. 22, this bomber would break the limit of 1,320 multiwarhead missiles and bombers set by the 1979 agreement. Administration officials paint two possible scenarios: The administration may offset the deployment of the 131st bomber by dismantling an old submarine, carrying 16 missiles, rather than violate the pact's limits even next year. The United States would remain in technical compliance with the strategic-arms-limitation pact, which has been observed by both Washington and Moscow even though it was never ratified by the U.S.

Senate. Or, the United States may go out of compliance briefly by deploying a handful of bombers before the submarine's dismantling, when it would return to compliance. One senior official said the White House already has decided to retire at least one more submarine, but other officials could not confirm that. A Navy study pf the merits of scrapping, rather than refurbishing, one or two submarines is due. this month, officials said.

If U.S. arsenals remained under the SALT limits, the administration would argue that the decision was made for reasons of cost-effectiveness rather than for political reasons, officials said.

When asked whether the president has a preoccupation with the hostages, Regan snapped: "Yes, and that's a damn good thing that we have a president like that, that has that in mind.
