STOP BY AND GET ACQUAINTED. 99 Arms limitations to be discussed II It IN Collaf • Main — Northgata Associated Press WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger is heading for Moscow with hopes of breaking the deadlock in negotiations for a new treaty limiting offensive nuclear weapons. Kissinger scheduled a stop in jCopenhagen today for talks with Danish Prime Minister Anker Jorgensen and Foreign Minister K. B. Anderson. He is due in the Soviet capital tonight and is to leave there Friday. Kissinger, who left Washington late Monday night, is flying to the Soviet capital on the strength of “a clear promise” that he will be given a significant modification in the last Russian position on a 1-year pact. The Soviets have insisted on exempting their swing-wing Backfire bomber from a tentative ceiling of 2,400 nuclear weapons to be allowed both countries. The Soviets also have insisted that the United States in clude its pilotless, low-flying cruise missile in the American total. Kissinger presumably will get his first detailed look at the revised Soviet position when he meets with Leonid Brezhnev. Meanwhile, he has turned over to Soviet Ambas sador Anatoly F.

Hun dreds of Christian families there have already fled to neighboring Syria.” The Moslems and their Palesti nian allies already controlled south ern Lebanon. The Christians hold part of Beirut, an area to the north and northeast of the capital and scat tered enclaves in the northern, east ern and central part of the country. A high-ranking army officer said the pattern of fighting indicated the warring sides were trying to wipe out pockets of resistance in areas they controlled, bringing “the country closer to de facto partition. ” Interior Minister Camille Cha- moun, a right-wing Christian leader under siege in his seaside mansion 14 miles south of Beirut, charged Kennedy pressures Monday night that heavily armed troops of the Syrian army had crossed Lebanon’s northern and eastern borders, and Palestinian guerrilla sources charged that Israel was massing troops and tanks along Lebanon’s southern border. But a Lebanese army spokesman said there was no invasion or invasion threat from any direction. Other army sources said forces from the Palestine Liberation Army, the organized military arm of Yasir Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Or ganization, had moved into Lebanon from their bases in Syria. Local newspapers reported 8,000 PLA troops made the move in the past 24 hours, but military informants said this figure was “much exaggerated. ” Informed sources in Israel said Is raeli reconnaissance pilots, who pa trol Lebanon constantly, had de tected no evidence of large-scale Sy rian troop movements into Lebanon. “There may be some Syrian army men there, but up to now there has not been what you could call a Syrian military force, ” said one informant in Tel Aviv. Israel has indicated repeatedly portrait board that if the Syrian army moved into Lebanon, Israeli forces would invade south Lebanon to wipe out the Pales tinian bases there. The Israeli sources suggested that Chamoun was trying to whip up foreign sup port for the Lebanese Christians by arousing fears of a Syrian-Israeli war. The Israeli sources said their gov ernment was keeping a close watch on the situation in Lebanon. But they said there was no indication of any unusual Israeli troop movements. Another cease-fire was announced Monday in Beirut, but a police spokesman said “fighting did not cease for a single minute.” The police reported 154 persons killed during the night, most of them in Beirut, raising the official toll in the two weeks of fighting since a Christmas-New Year cease-fire to 2,007 killed and 2,917 wounded. Casualties during the eight previous months of the civil war are estimated at 8,000 killed and 25,000 wounded. vided they were positioned beyond striking distance of the United States. It also would exempt cruise missiles with ranges under 375 miles. Kissinger went over final details of the U.S. position Monday with the National Security Council. The Pen tagon has been wary of restrictions on the cruise missiles, which have the capacity to penetrate Soviet air defenses. On the way home, Kissinger will brief NATO officials in Brussels on Friday, then go on Saturday to Mad rid, where a new agreement for keeping four major U.S. military bases on Spanish soil may be ready for his signature. In his Kremlin talks, Kissinger will also try to persuade the Russians to back a withdrawal of all foreign forces from Angola and to promote further Middle East peace negotiations. Both President Ford and Kis singer have stressed that the policy of accommodation between the superpowers coujd be imperiled by continued Soviet weapon shipments to a pro-Marxist faction that, aided by a Cuban expeditionary force, ap pears to be gaining the upper hand in the Angolan civil war. As for the Middle East, he intends to sound out Brezhnev on prospects for resumption of the stalled Geneva peace conference, which initially, at least, would skirt the Palestinian issue since the Palestine Liberation Organization is not a participant. Associated Press BURLINGTON, Iowa — “The presence of his picture isn’t going to make people go and sin,” says a member of the Burlington Catholic School Board of a campaign to re move John F. Kennedy’s portrait from a school library. The board, under pressure to pull down the portrait in light of reports of the late president’s extramarital life, voted unanimously Monday night against the idea. “I don’t feel we have any right to judge,” said Mrs. Robert Brueck, the board’s vice president and a mother of nine. “The poor man has been gone al most 13 years and he can’t even de fend himself. And how do we know that somebody isn’t making a lot of money coming up with all this?” Sam Jennison, a businessman in this Mississippi River town of 33,000, wanted the picture taken from Notre Dame High School be cause, he said, “we teach in school that premarital sex is sinful. Then we turn right around and have the pic ture of the man hanging in the library where all the young people can see it.” Jennison’s request came after Judith Campbell Exner, a 41-year- old San Diego woman, claimed she had a “close, personal relationship” with Kennedy during his years in the White House. Jennison is president of the school’s Home and School Associa tion and has three children in school. He said he was afraid that some of the 275 students who looked at the pic ture of the nation’s first Catholic president would also think of his sex life. But before a standing room only crowd, the 12-member board voted unanimously to keep the portrait where it is. What would it prove if the picture were removed? “No thing,” said Mrs. Brueck. “The kids can’t understand all this big to-do. ” President Ford’s portrait also hangs in the library, but former Pres ident Nixon’s does not. “I hate to open a can of worms, but where is Nixon’s picture and why was it removed?” asked board member Angela Adams. Principal Dave Walker replied that, during the Watergate disclo sures, students would put tape on the face of Nixon’s portrait, or turn it upside down or toward the wall. Walker said he and the librarian agreed to put the Nixon picture in storage.
