Vance to visit Moscow for arms control talks
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance travels eight days to Moscow and Western Europe seeking new U S proposals on a SALT arms control agreement. Officials warn of tough Soviet questions on U S human rights policy while insisting U S concerns are not limited to Russia. President Carter says a constructive atmosphere surrounds the mission and no preconditions have been set by the Soviets. No negotiations expected, but laying groundwork for progress remains the aim.

Public Land Corp delays Hall of Fame site plan in Charleston
The Public Land Corporation voted to consider a Charleston site for a slimmed down National Track and Field Hall of Fame, effectively scrapping a $15 million two-phase complex planned for Putnam County. Gov Rockefeller urged exploring Laidley Field as an alternate, noting lack of a supervising agency and possible local partnerships in Charleston and Kanawha County.
