Carter may seek equal TV time after Ford attack
Jimmy Carter and aides weighed requesting equal television time to respond to President Ford who blasted Carter for criticizing U S foreign and defense policy. Carter watched Ford's news conference in New York and said his criticism did not target the nation. Powell said the campaign would study a transcript to decide if FCC equal time is justified. Carter later praised Ford's defense of nuclear policy while noting Ford expected a debate without Carter present.

Soviet tests near the allowed limit prompt US concern
The Ford administration says four Soviet underground tests since July were within the agreed strength with the United States though near the upper limit. Some may exceed 150 kilotons by a slim margin, but precision in measurement is unreliable. Officials note a 20 percent margin of error in US estimates and fault the Russians for testing close to the ceiling while respecting only the letter, not the spirit, of the treaty.
