(JP An advanced A2 model Polaris missile scooted more than 1,500 miles today after a successful shipboard launching that paves the way for initial firings from a submarine. Compressed air shot the compact solid fuel missile from a vertical tube in the deck of the USS Observation Island as the ship cruised in the At 1 antic Ocean about 40 miles southeast of here. JFK, Gromyko Will Discuss Berlin Friday- WASHINGTON President Kennedy and Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Gromyko will confer Friday on the Berlin situation.

The White House announced the expected appointment time today. Presidential press secre tary Pierre Salinger declined to go into the nature of subjects to be discussed. The conference was arranged as a followup to those in New York between Gromyko and Sec. of State Dean Rusk, seeking ot determine whether there are prospects for; fruitful East-West negotiations to settle the Berlin dispute. The two foreign ministers met three times in New York.

Mum on Initiative Salinger said the Kennedy Gromyko meeting was ar ranged by the State Depart ment. He declined to say whether the initiative came from the Russian or American side. No arrangements have been made for separate talks be tween Rusk and Gromyko, State Department officials said. Final Expression Gromyko may return to New York Friday night. Officials said the possibility of a subsequent Rusk-Gromyko meeting, cannot be excluded.

but it depends on the Russians. Kennedy will give Gromyko a final expression of the Amer ican view before the Soviet foreign minister leaves for Moscow. He has been attending U.N. sessions in New York. Further U.S.

Ford, who won 25 games for New York during the season and lost only four, was in excellent form as he struck out six and issued only one walk, winning his eighth World Series game. It was his third straieht series shutout. He everywhere on the march." He isaid the Berlin crisis is a aeiiD erate Soviet creation and de clared that In Asia both Laos and South Viet Nam are menaced by communism.

He also accused the Soviet Union of trying to undermine the United Nations itself by the troika plan to replace the office of secretary-general with a three-man directorate. Last year and the virgin lands also had a disastrous harvest. The first secretary, Nikolai Belyaev, was fired from his local job and from his top job on the Moscow Presidium. Whether this fate will befall Kunayev is not immediately apparent. By all accounts, the harvest in western reaches of the Soviet Union is not much better.

The, crop setback may have its influence on foreign policy. On the international front, the Soviet Union almost always lowers its demands when there is a bad harvest since, unlike the United States, it has no reserves on which to fall back. Pravda blamed both bad weather and faulty techniques for the failure of the harvest. ose Sliameful Situation; A Big Crisis Solved; Last Word on Crier NOT LONG AGO the magazine, U.S. News World Report, had an article pointing out that many U.S.

troops do not have the most modern weapons made. That while this country has developed rifles, machine guns, tanks, artillery, which are at least equal to Russia's, in many cases -these-weapons- have-not -yet been produced in sufficient numbers to equip many units, including some stationed in trouble zones abroad, that should have them. This brought some comment from a reader of this column In Racine who said if that "is substantially correct, then we should be both, ashamed and alarmed!" He added, pointing to examples in World Wars I and II, that "it has been the unfortunate habit of this country to send its first contingents of fight-ing men into battle with inadequate arms. He Spoke" from personal first-hand experience in the case of World War I because he was a sergeant with the Marines in France. And in the latter case, as an Industrial executive, he served as an advisor to the government in Washington.

The report about lack of the most modern weapons seems to have been borne out, in part at least, by developments in Washington yesterday. Military investigators in the Senate called for a speedup in production of the M-14, Army rifle, charging that it has been ham pered by "delays, slippages and inefficiencies. And during the course of the proceedings it was disclosed that only within very recent weeks have our troops in Berlin received this rifle, though It was conceived 16 years ago! As my friend says, this Is something about -which we 'Should be both alarmed and ashamed. Undoubtedly those who would echo this most strongly are men, like those in the S2d Division, who are being called into active service, and their families and friends. But now at least there seems to be strong hope that one or more officials and commercial producers will get off their dead landing gears and correct the situation.

TROUBLE still hangs over Ber Iin. and things are not all smooth and cozy in such wide ly separated areas as the Mid die East Africa and Laos. So not all of the great crises have been met. But a big one was smoothed out yesterday when Antony Armstrong-Jones accepted the title of Earl, which means that the baby ioon to be born to Princess Margaret won't be just plain "Mr." or ''Miss." Things like that make you breathe a little easier, don't they? THE FINAL WORD here about the Crying Comedian Is that he owes me for a telephone receiver worn out by calls from those who appear to think he has a perfect Yight to a "Supreme Being Complex," knd that anyone who says otherwise Is a wide variety of things; none of them nice. A YOUNGSTER in Nashville, asks police If his mother can be arrested for "double jeopardy" because she spanks him when he comes home after being paddled by the principal in school.

That was always the policy pursued by my parents, on the theory that if I hadn't done wrong I wouldn't have been walloped in school. It was their way of backing up school discipline, and while I remember smarting under what I thought was the injustice of it, I'll wager that principals and teachers today wish more parents would feel that way about it.

He did not mention Red China specifically, but the question of seating Red China is on the motels," he said, "and this will be a big asset to the City of Racine." Harley- Brtfwn; an attorney representing Holleb, said, "We (Turn to Page 14, Col. 5) Russ Report Failures in Virgin Lands Crops agenda for debate later In the current ssion, As in other recent assembly sessions, all delegates of the Soviet bloc countries left the chamber during the speech of the Chinese Nationalist offi ciai. Repeats Promise In a general policy declara tion, Shen repeated National ist China's promise to liberate the Chinese mainland "if the opportunity presents itself." He said the very existence of the Chiang Kai-shek government on Formosa "implies the eventual restoration of freedom to the six hundred million Chinese people now under the domination of the Communist regime." Shen concluded his speech by asserting that the United Nations is in danger of being perverted to serve the interest of powerful warmakers and international bullies." "There are delegations in this assembly," he said, "who are bent on strengthening the forces of evil by adding to United Nations membership those who are clearly not qual blanked Pittsburgh twice in 1960.

This may have a considerable effect upon both domestic and international policies.

Pravda reports that delegates to a Communist Party meeting in the central Asian republic "spoke with great uneasiness about the fact that this year Kazakhstan cannot give the state much grain." The first secretary of the Communist Party in Kazakhstan, D. A. Kunayev, said: "We must report to the congress (the 22d Congress of the Communist Party, meeting here Oct. 17) that we do not cope with our task in the production of grain.
