The -Soviet talks are expected to be long and involve NATO's decision to deploy 572 Pershing II and cruise missiles in five European countries beginning in December 1983.

NATO decided in 1979 to deploy the missiles in West Germany, Britain. Italy. Holland and Belgium to counter the Soviet SS-208, whose IWOQflitle range enable them to strike as far west as Britain. "We need those 572 missiles for" military and political purposes," said Richard Perle, assistant defense secre-' tary for international security affairs. U.S.

It was expected to be a popular move with Europeans who have questioned VS. sincerity In seeking a superpower nuclear stand down, "If we put forward proposals that capture the imagination of the Europeans and the Soviets pour cold water on them, then the Soviets run a risk" of encountering European wrath, Perle said in an Interview. 'The zero-level option is most likely to gain the broadest support in Europe," he said. "The criterion we ought to apply is whether the agreement is going to diminish the threat to NATO significantly.

It would take levels approaching zero to accomplish that The NATO defense ministers put forward the zero option, as it is called, at their meeting in Scotland in October. "On the basis of reciprocity, the zero level remains a possible option under, ideal circumstances," the communique said. VS. officials said at the time the phrase was "politically important" to the Europeans. -From Page Al himself as Bob Dozier, the W-year-old MHjwner of the 55-foot ketch, flagged down a motorist on Highway 1 and said the yacht had broken loose from its anchor during a wild storm the night before and the boat's occupants were thrown into the churning seas from a life raft.

He and his partner, J. Paul Russell, 44. made it to shore, he said, but two women on the boat identified by him as Russell's wife Susan and KrLsten Tonilin didn't. The men were taken to Letterman General Hospital in the Presidio, where Russell was treated for a sprained ankle. An unsuccessful search was launched for the missing women.

On Saturday, the Coast Guard got a call from a confused and upset man who said he was Russell. He said a third woman, Doier's 25-year-old wife Slieri Ann, also was lost in the storm. Asked why he hadn't reported it before, Russell referred authorities to La Vegas attorney Gerald Gillock. Gaddini says Gillock has never heard of any of those involved. A new puzzle was then added when a man calling himself John O'Farrell called Virginia City, authorities and said it was he.

not J. Paul Russell, who was on the boat. He also said the reported third woman. Sheri Ann Dozier, was his daughter and had not been on the boat. Authorities now Ix-lieve, at least tentatively, that Russell and O'Farrell may be one and the same.

Rut they admit they have no idea why he has used both names, if that is the case. There are also confusing reports that Sheri Ann Dozier may have posed as Russell-0 Farrell's wife as well as being his daughter. There was accumulating evidence that most of the parties involved, for reasons unknown, used various aliases and dealt only in cash in matters surrounding the boat. Coast Guard investigator Rick Hubbard said this morning that a 10-foot dingy from the Freedom II was found today off Point Bonita and has been traced to an unidentified man who sold it earlier to a man called "Smo-key," known to be one of Farrell-Russell's nicknames. The boat was purchased with cash, as were all the Freedom II transactions with various boatyards in the San Rafael area, Hubbard said.

He said he has found no business transactions done ith a check. "Ml the people who these people dealt with have different names for them and different Hubbard said. Gaddini added this morning that a Susan and P. Russell showed passports bearing those names in some of the transactions. He said his office is fairly certain now that Susan Russell used the alias of Sheri Ann Dozier and that J.

Paul Russell is also John O'Farrell. According to the passports, they are married, which means that Susan Russell appears to be posing as John remembering Russell's wife as someone named Sheri Ann, the name authorities believe is that of O'Farrell's daughter and Doziers wife. She said the group of four, not five, left Wednesday, not Thursday, on a trip to, they said, French Polynesia. "They came in and said goodby that day and I know there were only four of them," she said. "There was the Russells, Kristen Tomlin and Bob Dozier.

No others." D'Ippolito said the group had come from Oregon to finish working on the boat before setting out for their trip. She said they all claimed to be authors "who all had pen names except Kristen." She said she remembered that Russell had used the name John Farrell and told her that he was taking the trip to write a story for National Geographic. Sheri Ann. said D'Ippolito. was planning to write a "woman's manual for navigation" on the trip.

A National Geographic editor in the magazine's Washington. D.C., office said no' one by the names J. Paul Russell. John Farrell or John O'Farrell had been commissioned to do any stories. Jack White, another Storey County sheriff's deputy, said John Farrell, who also went under the names John Jay Houston and J.J.

Miller, was "a loner" who never got along well in the tiny town of Virginia City. "He always had a lot of money and nobody knew where he got it," he said. O'Farrell wife when she is using that name and as his daughter when she uses the Sheri Ann Dozier name. Gaddini flatly admitted he didn't, have any idea why they were using the multiple names, if they were. Virginia City authorities say they know O'Farrell and the Doziers but it's stilt not clear whether that knowledge is helping.

Storey County sheriff's Deputy Bruce Larson said he knew John O'Farrell personally as Sheri Ann Doziers father and the self-described skipper of the Freedom II. Larson said the Doziers and O'Farrell came to Virginia City about two years ago and opened a bar called the Stage Slop Saloon. The trio, whom Larson described as "very nice people" with no criminal records, ran the bar together until July, when they sold the establishment and set out "for the South Pacific or something." A bartender in the Stage Stop, who declined to reveal her name, said she worked for Bob "Bobbie" Dozier, his wife, Sheri, and John "Poppa John" Farrell for a year and a half. "Sheri ran the. bar, Bobbie put ships in bottles and Poppa John kind of hung around," she said.

Kristen Tomlin, 20. a helper in the har, had moved to Virginia City from Oregon with her mother, the bartender said. She said she had recently taken Mrs. Tomlin back to stay with her relatives in Portland. "KrLsten was a favorite of every body," the bartender said.

"We kind of spoiled her." The bartender said she had never heard "Poppa John" use the name Russell. A friend of hers had received a call from John on Saturday, she said. He claimed to be in San Francisco preparing to leave for Oregon. She didn't know where exactly he was headed. "He lived for his daughter (Sheri) and raised her up after the mother died when she was real young," she said.

"I don't think he's coming back here. He'll drift first." Larson said that when O'Farrell called Saturday, the somewhat stunned survivor expressed surprise that someone named Russell had been identified as one of the crew. "He said he didn't know Russell and never heard of a Susan Russell," Larson said. But emergency room doctors at letterman Hospital recorded the name J. Paul Russell for the survivor they treated for a sprained ankle, reported Letterman spokesman Chuck Dasey.

"He didn't have an identification on him; he said everything he owned was on the boat," Dasey said. "He didn't, give any address or phone number. I don't know how we're going to bill him." The missing "Russell" was also known to Mary D'Ippolito, a receptionist at Sanford-VVood Marina where the Freedom II was docked for about nine months. She knew him as one of the yacht's owners.

AC Transit is expected to increase its capacity about 10 percent in three or four years, not enough to handle an expected new rush-hour trips. Golden Gate Transit, with a capacity of 8,085 rush hour passengers, is expected to receive new patrons "beyond this figure." Only on Southern Pacific trains is the addition of about 1.140 new rush-hour passengers expected to be accommodated. The new impact report omits cumulative housing impacts, but figures just released by the Association of Bay Area Governments indicate that San Francisco currently has 542,644 jobs, yet only 306,854 occupied dwelling units.

That ratio moves ABAG's plan and project review manager Michael Vlsconti to label it "a severe Imbalance that has meant rapidly increasing housing costs and the displacement of low- to moderate-income households who can no longer afford to live in The City." Revealing as those figures are, decision-makers should demand still more before approving new offices, argues Sue Hestor, anti-high rise activist. "The City admits it does not know the impacts of what is going on downtown," she says, "so the only honest, legal thing to do is at least preserve a stable period here." The latest public hearing Is no less significant to developers than to high-rise opponents, believes Kenneth T. Sproul, marketing director for developers of the Humboldt Bank Building, an office condominium conversion project on Market Street. Sproul thinks that the Planning Commission may be opening new "cans of worms" unless it disapproves new regulatory proposals. Foreseeing the possibility of new restrictions, a number of developers will, he predicts, speed up or introduce projects so they can be "grandfathered" and thereby protected from the expense of future regulation.

With more buildings financed by institutions, more builders can afford to hold buildings empty for several years. Because many projects under review won't be built. Sproul worries that the Planning Commission may overreact to a situation which is "unreal." Tightened controls, Sproul believes, have the double result of both inducing more large corporations to relocate employees out of town as well as of persuading large corporations to take over available large spaces if only for protection. Small businesses are squeezed out in the process. Building controls, he argues, will create new transit problems.

As lower-income jobs leave The City, he fears, residents of middle-class districts will be forced into reverse-commutes or into moving to follow their jobs. And controls mean more big buildings and no new small office buildings, in Sproul's opinioa Because of regulations, it is becoming uneconomical to attempt to build anything much smaller than a lOO.OOOsquare-foot (10-story) tower. Sproul smiles at what he regards as yet another result of regulation, Because every new set of building regulations tightens the supply of offices and improves environmental quality, he says, each further enriches existing office building owners. "Major San Francisco property owners have enjoyed tremendous increases in the values of their properties in the last three years." From Page Al data can be found in the latest draft environmental-impact report for a proposed tower, in which Environmental Impact Planning Corp. quotes Muni, BART, SamTrans and Golden Gate Transit officials' estimates that their lines will be filled beyond capacity two years from now.

The newest debate comes about because the supervisors' Planning Housing and Development Committee asked for it. Angry about the effects it believes additional office workers are having on housing and transit, PHD members demanded that the Planning Commission further tighten building regulations beyond the interim bulk controls and guidelines for design, housing and transit it now imposes. The supervisors asked for three measures: A proposal to ration San Francisco office-building projects to 1.5 million square feet a year. lately, The City has been growing at the rate of 3 to 4 million square feet annually. An alternate proposal to turn the Department of City Planning's Guiding Downtown Development recommendations into legislation that would, among other things: reduce building bulk; allow increases in bulk for on-site housing; lower heights; protect the supply of sunshine and help preserve historic buildings.

A third proposal to clamp a moratorium on downtown building until The City completes its master environmental-impact report on downtown, due June 24 was unanimously rejected by the Planning Commission last month following a marathon session attended mostly by pro-development rteople. Why the push to regulate now? Says Supervisor Harry Britt, chairman of the PHD Committee; "Uncontrolled downtown growth is responsible for the primary strain on our police, fire and Muni budgets and the inflationary forces on San Francisco's housing and neighborhood shopping areas. We should put on some sort of limit while the dow ntow E1R is Ix-ing done." One battler is Richard Morten, a Chamber of Commerce vice president, who opposes either type of control, whether it's an annual ration of 1.5 million square feet or the Department of City Planning's Guiding Downtown Development restrictions. Says Morten of the yearly limit: "What are they going to set up. a lottery? How do you decide which developer and on what values you allot that space?" Nor does he approve of what he calls "the downzoning portions" of Guiding Downtown Development.

"I don't think they're workable," Morten says, charging that the guidelines contain "inconsistencies, conflicts and vague passages that are open to Interpretation." Britt's followers will find fresh ammunition in Environmental Impact manning draft of an environmental-impact report for Vintage Probities' 19-floor Spear-to-Main Streets (near Mission) Building.

A 30-story combination office-condo building at 388 Market St at Pine. These are among the larger yet little-known office proposals awaiting review by the City Planning Commission on a list of some 68 projects either approved by the commission or being per person, an indication that if all projects are completed they would add some 72,000 people to The City's 552,300 jobholders, a 13 percent increase. The total daytime population downtown has been estimated at between I million and 12 million.

The 37-story building would contain 585,000 square feet, and would be built by Campeau a Canadian group, on Bush Street near Montgomery on the site of a four-story structure that once housed Lambros' restaurant. Gerald Adams' studied by the Department of City Planning. Director of City Planning Dean Macris recently advised the commission that 93 million square feet of offices are now under formal review; another 3 million square feet have been approved and are awaiting construction; and 6 million square feet of offices are now being built. Although Macris offered no estimate as to the numbers of people ho would be employed, planners in the past have figured about 250 square feet.
