S., Soviets closer to SALT WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States and Soviet Union are closer to a new strategic arms limitation agreement, a top Soviet official says after his second meeting in five days with President Carter. Emerging from an unusual and hastily arranged night-time negotiating session at the White House, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said Tuesday the two superpowers made “some further progress” in narrowing their remaining dif ferences on a new pact. With Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance nodding in agreement at his side, Gromyko said Washington and Moscow have “the firm intention to work to ward” a second SALT agree ment. Coming after progress in marathon talks here last Thurs day and Friday, Gromyko’s re marks left the impression that the momentum is accelerating toward a new agreement. But U.S. officials cautioned against speculation that a Page 11 breakthrough is near. A sense of urgency pervaded the atmosphere here as Gromyko flew from New York in the early evening for the meeting. Vance, who had also been in New York, arrived sep arately. Gromyko, speaking through his interpreter, refused to say what brought the second session with such speed. He and White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said only that the meeting was agreed to Monday. Powell said the “core issues” were discussed in the 90-minute meeting, which was attended by Vice President Walter F. Mondale, Defense Secretary Harold Brown, U.S. arms ne gotiator Paul Wamke and oth ers. The main issues include the Soviet stand that the U.S. cruise missiles should be tightly limited. The cruise missile is a low-flying, pilotless plane ar med with a nuclear warhead. The United States is insisting on restrictions on the SSIB, a Griffin Daily News Wednesday, September 28, 1977 Soviet heavy missile, and on the Soviet backfire bomber. Another major issue is how compliance with any new agreement will be verified. The 1972 SALT pact expires Monday, but the Carter admin istration has insisted that Mos cow and Washington are not negotiating against that dead line. Both governments have said they will honor the terms of the expiring accord while the new one is being negotiated. The old treaty imposes limits on land-based and submarine- FALL TREE & SHRUB SALE THURS., FRI., and SAT. 8 A.M.-5 P.M. AH Items one-fourth to one-third off spring prices.

Gromyko flew to Washington after addressing the United Na tions General Assembly in a speech that mixed conciliation with toughness toward the United States. In a surprise move, Gromyko offered in the New York speech to join the United States and Great Britain in suspending all underground nuclear weapons tests for an unspecified period. He said this would be “a ma jor step conducive to lessening the threat of nuclear war and deepening detente.” But he sharply criticized the Carter administration on several other fronts. .
