BERLIN Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev stepped up his courtship of
Western Europe on Monday by saying
he would support disbanding the War
saw Pact and NATO alliances.
At the same time, Gorbachev voiced
readiness to meet again with President
Reagan if "the appropriate international
atmosphere is created."
The Soviet leader, on a visit to East
Germany, also charged that the United
States had ignored the opinion of its
West European allies by sending war
planes to bomb Libya last week.

Reagan seeks
advice from
allied countries
WASHINGTON President Reagan
said Monday that after he decided to
launch a limited military strike against
Libya, some U.S. allies suggested a
coordinated, "all-out" attack to force a
change in Moammar Khadafy's policy
of exporting terrorism.
; In an interview with The Associated
Press and other news agencies, the
president said the suggestions were
"that we look seriously together at real
major action" against Libya.
He did not name the nations or the
leaders who offered that advice. But
the Washington Times, in a report pub
lished Monday, quoted a senior admin
istration official as saying French Pres
ident Francois Mitterand told U.S. envoy
Vernon Walters he would support the
mission only if it were strong enough to
be aimed at overthrowing Khadafy.
Walters made a whirlwind tour of
European capitals in the days just
before the April 14 air raid to inform
the allies of U.S. intentions and seek
their support. Only Britain publicly
backed Reagan's action and permitted
use of British air bases jy U.S. Air Force
planes participating in the attack.
"We found that some of them were
suggesting that not that the answer
be.nothing of that kind but that we
look seriously at, together, real major
action against Libya," Reagan said.
"Some of them suggested that, . , .if we
were going to resort to force, that then
perhaps it should be a wider-based and
a more all-out effort to change the
Libyan policy."
Walters consulted with, leaders in
Great Britain," West Germany, France,
Italy and Spain between April 11-15.

eral secretary said Moscow was ready
for "a simultaneous disbanding of the
Warsaw Pact and NATO, or, for a start,
their military organizations."
The Soviets have previously said
they were prepared to scrap the War
saw Pact if the West dissolved the
NATO military alliance. The offers have
been viewed with skepticism in the
West.
On the possibility of a superpower
summit this year, Gorbachev said, "We
are ready for a Soviet-American meet

Border patrol has extra task
EL PASO, Texas Determined, sophisticated terrorists could easily
cross the border into the United States, according to federal officials
whose agencies are on alert after the bombing of Libya.
The vast, open spaqes of the 1,952-mile border between the United
States and Mexico, coupled with limited, manpower of federal agencies,
has made it relatively easy for illegal aliens to slip in, officials said
Monday.- -
It would be just as easy for a professional terrorist,, they said.
Authorities along the 4tl 39-mile border between the United States and
Canada also are on the watch for imposters and false passports that could
give away a potential terrorist.
- "The best we can do is be alert to the possibility of terrorist activity,"
said Larry Richardson, the chief Border Patrol agent for the El Paso
district "An unarmed terrorist, someone handled routinely, would have a
lot of odds in his favor."
Terrorist profiles have been given to the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, the Customs Service and the Border Patrol. But a terrorist trying
to enter the country would probably have a physical appearance that
would make him blend with the rest cf the population, said Richardson.
Documents such "as passports, birth certificates and visas, are being
checked more thoroughly, said Al Giugrtl, INS district director in El Paso.
Officials say sealing the border against potential terrorists would be

Reagan said he expects to discuss
the matter further next week when he
meets other allied leaders at the seven:

"This has simply been in conversa:

that have been over there," he explained.
"I think it would be the kind of thing
theywould want to talk about at the
summit as to whether we had reached
that point or not." '

Sub dismantling
WASHINGTON President
Reagan, overriding several senior
advisers, has decided to dismantle
two U.S. nuclear submarines to .keep
the United States within the limits
of the controversial SALT II treaty
when a new Trident nulear submarine
goes to sea, a U.S. official said
Monday.
Two Poseidon submarines, with
16 multiple-warhead missiles apiece,
will be taken out of the U.S. nuclear
fleet and destroyed over the next
six months.
The decision was described as
"tentative" in the sense that Rea
gan was sending two envoys to con
sult wiith allies in Asia and Western
Europe before making a formal
announcement.

workers, he repeated the proposal on
conventional arms and said he also
favored "all-European cooperation on
economic, ecological and other issues."

thought that the barriers can be
removed," he said. Gorbachev then
expressed readiness to meet with

Gorbachev kept up his criticism of
Reagan on Monday, charging that the

know how we feel about terrorism. I'm
hopeful we can sit down and work out
what it is that we can do together to
deal with this problem."
Meanwhile, Pentagon officials said
they were convinced that Libya is
"blowing smoke" with claims to have
retrieved an Fill bomber missing
from last week's raids.
But these officials, declining to be
named publicly, acknowledged that
the recovery of such a plane by the
Libyans would represent a serious
setback.
The officials did say the Soviet Union
"would dearly love to get its hands" on
such a plane, not so much because of
the airframe and engines, but because
of the F-lll's terrain-following radar
and its so-called "Pave Tack" targeting
system.

recovery last week of the remains of

Bruce Jarvis, of Orlando, said he had
been notified that his son's remains
were the last to be found.
The hunt continues for other
shuttle wreckage, particularly the
bottom segment of the right booster
rocket in the area around its joint.
Nuclear test
LAS VEGAS, Nev. A major
nuclear weapons test, the third
announced test in the past month,
was scheduled for this morning at
the Nevada Test Site.
The test, code-named Jefferson,
was scheduled for 7:30 a.m. CST at
the site 90 miles northwest of Las
Vegas, said spokesman Jack Camp
bell. The explosion will have a yield
of between 20 and 150 kilotons, he
said. It will be the 10th announced
test by the United States since the
Soviet Union began a unilateral test
moratorium Aug. 6. Not all tests are
announced for security reasons.
The test was expected to demon

for measuring the explosive punch
of nuclear tests.
Gorbachev has used his public ap
pearances to issue several statements
and proposals on disarmament and
East-West relations;
Gorbachev's suggestions that troop
levels and conventional weapons be
reduced have already met with a posi
tive response in West Germany, where
Chancellor Helmut Kohl on Monday
described the proposals as a "step
forward."
