Soviets reject Reagan plan while allies favor it
In Moscow the Tass agency labeled Reagan's proposal to ban all US and Soviet medium range missiles in Europe a propaganda ploy to stall talks set to begin November 30 in Geneva. Allies in Western Europe praised the zero missile option as a step toward possible arms reductions. Reagan offered to drop deployment of 572 Pershing II and cruise missiles in Europe if the Soviets dismantle 600 missiles aimed at European targets. General Tolubko, Soviet strategic rocket forces chief, spoke to the Communist Party daily, signaling firm opposition.
