Summit Won't Free Prisoners
The Nixon administration says the Moscow summit will not change the status of American prisoners held by North Vietnam. Officials say Hanoi uses POWs as hostages and that Soviet pressure is unlikely to alter Hanoi's stance. Prisoner totals rose to 494 known, with 1,089 missing. Families show growing dissatisfaction but hawkish support for action short of release.

He alleges the plan would force U S dismantling of two of three antiballistic sites, freeze land based missiles, and let Russia overtake U S submarine missiles.
