ummit ends without agreements
to curb nuclear weapons race
REYKJAVIK, Iceland President
Reagan's weekend summit with Mik
hail Gorbachev ended Sunday without
agreement to curb nuclear weapons
when the United States refused to
scuttle the "Star Wars" missile defense
program. Reagan declared "this we
could not and will not do."
The two leaders also failed to set a
date for a third superpower meeting,
Secretary of Stat e George P. Shultz told
reporters, and a high-ranking Soviet
official called it a "dead-end."
Shultz said U.S. leaders were "deeply
disappointed" in the outcome.
Reagan, talking to American mil
itary personnel at Keflavik Naval Air
Base just before he boarded Air Force
One for the nearly six-hour ride back to
Washington, said the two sides had
"moved toward agreement" on drastic
reductions in intermediate-range wea
pons in Europe and Asia and on other
issues.
But, the president said, "then1
remained at the end of our talks one
area of disagreement . . . The Soviet
Union insisted that we sign an agree
ment that would deny to me and to
future presidents for 10 years the right
to develop, test and deploy a defense
against nuclear missiles for the people
of the free world."
"This, we could not do," Reagan
declared, to heavy applause.
"This is the dead end to which they
have driven the whole issue of arms
control," said Georgi Arbatov, a top
Soviet adviser on East-West relations.
Asked whet her there would be another
summit meeting between President
Reagan and Gorbachev, Arbatov said,
"If the Americans do not change their
position on this basic issue, I am afraid
not."

Ortega says
captured American
to be tried soon
MANAGUA, Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega
says than an American captured after a rebel supply
plane was shot down will be tried soon, But it still was
not clear Sunday what charges would be filed against
him.
Ortega angrily denounced what he called the "direct
participation" of the U.S. government in aiding guerril
las fighting the Nicaraguan government.
Ortega later told reporters that Eugene Hasenfus,
45, of Marinette, Wis., will be tried soon in the People's
Courts.
"In a very short time, I mean quickly, he w ill be sent
to the appropriate courts to be judged," he said.
Other Sandinista officials have said Hasenfus could
face up to 30 years in prison. The People Courts were
formed after the leftist Sandinist National Liberation
Front came to power in July 1979, ending 42 years of
government by the rightist, pro-American Somoza
dynasty.
The president said documents found in the C-123's
wreckage proved the U.S. role. "There are no doubts
about the involvement of the United States in all these
actions," Ortega said.
President Reagan and other officials have denied
any U.S. government involvement in the flight.
But Ortega said U.S. officials "stimulate terrorist
actions such as this, but when people die they do not
take responsibility for the action. . . .They just call
them heroes."
Ortega said other Americans helping the insurgents,
known as Contras, would end up in prison or be killed.
The remains of hte American pilot and co-pilot of the
plane, who died in the crash, were sent home Friday.
"If the United States makes the mistake of invading
Nicaragua, that is how American soldiers will end up
dead or prisoners of the Nicaraguan people," Ortega
said.
Hasenfus was the first American taken prisoner in
Nicaragua since U.S.-supported contra rebels began
their fight four and a half years ago to overthrow the
Sandinista government.
Hasenfus said Thursday he took part in 10 supply
flights from El Salvador and Honduras for rebels inside
Nicaragua and that the CIA was involved in the
-'operation, ' ; ' ,; . , : - .
