Calls Jackson's Charges False Kissinger Defends Old Agreement With Russia One Briton is killed in a road accident every 28 minutes and one is injured every 90 seconds, according to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. WASHINGTON (UPI) As President Nixon headed for Moscow summit talks to seek more progress on nuclear arms control, a sudden debate flared at home concerning his last major nuclear pact with the Soviets in 1972. The dispute began Friday, when Sen. Hen'ry M. Jackson, announced he had received "rather startling" information that the May 26,1972, U.S.-Soviet agreement limiting offensive missiles had been secretly reinterpreted to give the Russians more missiles and the United States less telling Congress.

On Monday, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger held a 70-minute news conference mostly devoted to Jackson's charges, which Kissinger called "false in every detail." Jackson had said that a secret agreement allowed the Russians to replace 70 missiles aboard its elderly, diesel- powered G-class submarines, which he said would allow them a total of 1,020 submarine- launched missiles instead of the 950 publicly announced on President Nixon's last visit to Moscow in 1972. Ceiling Still Stands Kissinger replied that the 950 ceiling still stands, and was specifically reinforced in a Subsequent agreement of interpretation between the two coun- tries. Furthermore, he said, even if the Russians wanted to claim a "super-legal interpretation" of the original agreement in order to put modern missiles in elderly, vulnerable, short range submarines, it would be "absurd" for them to do so. Jackson's second point was that the 1972 agreement allowed the United States 710 submarine-launched missiles, but that the Nixon administration secretly told the Soviets it would in fact deploy only 656.

Kissinger replied that this was done after the top U.S. military leaders told him they did not plan to build as many Poseidon submarines as the agreement allowed but would wait for the Trident submarine, still on the drawing boards, to come along until after 1977. The 1972 agreement only runs until 1977, and the Tridents an- not covered by it. Kissinger then wont into a three-hour, closed-door session with an armed services sub committee headed by Jackson A congressional source said thi session was acrimonious, start ing with Kissinger's "resenting" having to be sworn in Last Tuesday According to this source. Kis singer conceded during the meeting there had been a loophole which the Russians might have used to add 70 sub marine-launched missiles to their arsenal, and that it was closed by a secret U.S.-Soviet agreement initialed only last Tuesday.

While the source did not spell out details, the alleged loophole appeared to be the same potential "super-legal interpretation" mentioned by Kissinger in his news conference. DELIVERY!
