Magazines claim Soviets install anti-aircraft rockets ASHINGTON — Soviet |G-25 jets have shot down ise-missile-like test vehicles, it j reported Monday. The Russians 3 are installing anti-aircraft rock- on ships to defend against the lerican strategic weapon. [he reports also disclosed the viets have built a new plant, ap- rently aimed at expanded produc- of Backfire jet bombers, which have been excluded from weapons limits in the SALT II treaty now nearing completion. High-level Pentagon sources said the reports, based on information from U.S. spy satellites and other intelligence, were “essentially cor rect” although they disputed details and conclusions drawn from them. Details of the report were pub lished by Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine, which linked them to recent Soviet SALT conces sions and intensive administration efforts to “sell” agreements reached so far. Aviation Week said a MiG-25 Foxbat recently fired a rocket from high altitude, which passed close enough to a missile flying within 200 feet of the ground to destroy it. This height is similar to a cruise missile flight path. The Soviets had previously de manded that U.S. cruise missiles launched from bombers be limited to a 1,500-mile range in the SALT II treaty. Aviation Week said the Soviets also are installing SA-10 anti-aircraft missiles aboard ships now being built near the north coast city of Murmansk and have built a new 800,000 square foot plant next to the present Backfire production line at Kazan, south of Moscow. Recent U.S. tests have shown cruise missiles can be spotted and stopped if they fly close enough to air defenses. Senior U.S. officials maintain, however, an attack by thousands of the missiles could overwhelm the defenses. arter expected to announce ure for ailing economy tonight — The Cow Hop RESTAURANT COWRIE (Hamburger) & SALAD BAR "AN AGGIE TRADITION" i 846-1588 (with this coupon) EXPIRES OCT. 30, 1978 317 UNIVERSITY DR. (NORTHGATE) rah am said his si 10’s for, ^ sighting et n ✓ WASHINGTON — Businessmen, labor leaders and even some dministration officials are skeptical that President Carter’s much- leralded anti-inflation program, scheduled for unveiling tonight, will :urb soaring wages and prices. Some say Carter will have a tougher time convincing the people of he program’s validity than he did in evolving it. After several weeks of delay, Carter goes on national television and adio at 9 p.m. CDT to outline his plans for taming the inflationary liral through voluntary guidelines. Barring last-minute changes, it was understood the plan would ' illow workers average wage gains of 7 percent a year, while price ^ likes would be kept under a 5.75 percent yearly ceiling. The president is expected to say that if some companies or unions do not cooperate, then the administration is prepared to apply pres- iure — the power to withhold lucrative government contracts from jrivate industry. Carter also will promise that the government will play its part by wldingdown federal spending, reducing the deficit, clamping a par tial freeze on federal hiring and possibly easing back on regulations that cost business millions of dollars annually. Perhaps the most pessimistic assessment of any government official so far comes from Barry Bosworth, director of the Council on Wage and Price Stability. He said last week that if the new program is a failure, the only alternatives “are the cruel choices of a severe recession or mandatory wage and price controls.” Over the past few days, a sampling of sentiment echoed his bleak forecast. “I don’t think guidelines, guideposts or whatever you want to call them are going to work,” said Reginald Jones, chairman of General Electric Co. An administration official who has been in close touch with the drafting of the overall program declared: “I’m a skeptic and almost everyone else around here is too. But we have to try something and hope for the best.” session ed room: er. ■sentatives parties null ^ ambodian unrest reported iANGKOK — Insurgent forces, hiding Cambodian troops rebel- i Phnom Penh gov- , iment, have seized control of key p.m. Jnm l( jj an( j an airport an d attacked da/ Smti reral major towns throughout mbodia, Vietnam reported inday. oomsofdfe official Radio Hanoi broadcast xes.
