Secretary of State Cyrus R Vance flew to Geneva today to see if he can make headway in slowing the nuclear weapons race despite steadily souring relations with the Soviet Union Trials of top Russian dissidents Anatoly Shcharansky and Alexander Ginzburg clouded an already complicated Vance mission but he said the imperatives of preventing nuclear an- left him no native but to go ahead with the negotiations Over the last several months the two superpowers have made only halting progress toward a treaty to limit their long-range bers and intercontinental ballistic As Vance prepared for his meetings with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A Gromyko on Wednesday and Thursday the Garter administration weighed a decision on ways to protect U.S land-based missiles from potential Russian assault This is likely to add to existing differences between the two sides on how to restrict development and deployment of new missiles and what to do about the Soviet Backfire bomber The technique under consideration is a sort of shell game Thousands of extra holes would bo dug for the American Minutemen Then the missiles would be shifted from silo to silo periodically to hide them from the Russians Despite this tentative step to shore up U.S defenses Sen Henry M Jackson let fly in the Senate with a blistering attack on U.S negotiating strategy Jackson who has a liner reputation said the Carter administration was inclined to one-sided arms agreements with the Russians It is high time we stopped the dangerous practice of entering into unequal deals with Moscow in the misguided notion that Soviet leaders will reward our generosity with restraint in international Jackson said A fellow Democrat Sen Thomas Mclntyre of New Hampshire shot back that Jackson was carping about a treaty that we haven't seen yet But Jackson in a separate interview with NBC called the decision to have Vance meet while Shcharansky and Ginzburg were on trial the wrong signal at the wrong time Vance's response at a news conference was to respectfully disagree The secretary of state condemned Soviet authorities as he had in unusually strong terms over the weekend and said the trials raised serious questions about Moscow's compliance with the human rights guarantees of the 1975 Helsinki agreement But he said the limitation negotiations stand on their own two feet and have a special quality We are Vance

issued a statement Monday expressing concern over the East man sentences Chief government spokesman Klans Boelling said Bonn was concerned about increasing measures against citizens of the Soviet Union Czechoslovakia and East Germany who exercise their rights of free opinion and thought But he said the evidence of an orchestrated plot throughout the Soviet bloc to muzzle dissent was not strong

for suspension of all negotiations between the two German states until Huebner is released The inhumanity of Hitler and Stalin are continued by the current holders of power in Moscow and East Berlin
