President Carter personally
took part in the White House
negotiating session, his first
meeting with a top Soviet lead
er.
Vance, indicating he agreed
with Gromyko’s assessment,
said the administration would
have more to say on the subject
of the talks Saturday.
The two sides have conceded
they will be unable to reach a
new agreement before the Oct. 3
expiration date of the 1972
Strategic Arms Limitation
Treaty. The treaty sets limits on
land-based and submarine
launched intercontinental
ballistic missiles of the two
superpowers.
Shortly after conducting his
talks with Gromyko, Vance is
sued a “non-binding and non
obligatory” statement pledging
the United States to abide by the
terms of the expiring agree
ment provided the Soviets ex
ercise similar restraint.
On Thursday, Vance said in a
letter to Sen. John J. Sparkman,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, that the
United States had planned to
issue such a statement.
State Department spokesman
Hpdding Carter made it clear
that the statement should not be
interpreted as a bilateral
agreement to extend the ex
piring accord.
“No agreement limiting
strategic offensive arms will be
in effect after Oct. 3,” the
spokesman said.
He said the chief purpose in
avoiding a formal extension of
SALT I is “to keep up the pres
sure on the Soviet Union to
reach a new arms agreement.”

father
ROME, Ga. (AP) - Bert
Lance, back home in Georgia
for the weekend, visited his ail
ing 91-year-old father in a hos
pital Friday.
Lance, who resigned Wednes
day as director of the Office of
Management and Budget, left
his white brick home in nearby
Calhoun, Ga., and drove with

hospital in Rome.
A Calhoun druggist who has
been a staunch supporter of
loanee, Jack Mullins, told news
men that Lance’s father, Thom
as J. Lance, was scheduled to
undergo surgery today.
The elder Lance was injured
in a fall seven weeks ago and
was hurt again in another fall
Thursday.
Hospital spokemen said only

porters’ questions Friday. A
spokesman said Lance plans to
fly back to Washington Sunday
night or Monday to clean out his

J. B. Stoner involved in bomb investigation
ATLANTA (AP) — Avowed
white supremacist J.B. Stoner
says Alabama authorities are
investigating him in connection
with a 1963 Birmingham church
bombing that left four young
black girls dead.
Stoner, a white Marietta, Ga.,
attorney, said he had nothing to
do with the bombing and called
the investigation “a publicity
seeking stunt by that nigger-lo

The Atlanta Journal reported
Friday that Stoner is one of

ATLANTA (AP) — Records a
bank Bert Lance formerly
headed, the Calhoun First Na

Atlanta newspaper reported to

Judges’ sentencing
power questioned
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) -
Mark Alan Sankey ran a red
light, and his car struck and
killed three people. He drew a
10-day prison term for negligent
homicide.
Earl F. Deyette drove across
a center line, and his car struck
and killed two people. He drew a
10-year prison term for
negligent homicide.
The difference in sentences
sparked a demonstration Fri
day and renewed criticism of
the state’s allowing judges to
hand out sentences ranging
from nothing to 10 years for
conviction of negligent homi
cide.
There have been various pro
posals before the legislature to
limit sentencing discretion in
such homicide cases, but none
has become law.
“I know he deserved some
time,” said Marlene Deyette,
29, rain soaking her hair and
streaming down her face as she
joined 16 other demonstrators
outside the County-City building
on Friday. “But people are not
getting equal justice in our
courts. This judge was in a bad
mood so he gave my husband 10
years.”
Her husband, Earl, 34, was
