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.

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.”
