Canal treaties opposed in Panama
PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP)—Leaders of Panama's four political parties have called the canal treats unacceptable and demanded that Gen.奥马罗 Torrijos, the head of government, submit the pacts to a new referendum.
They spoke out earlier this week after Torrios had said he planned to allow them to resume an active role for the first time in taking over exiles return without any strings attached.
TORRIJOS BASED his pledges on what he saw as a new national unity behind the canal treaties.
Only a few hundred students demonstrated against the pacts before the Senate approved the second one Tuesday. And there has been no public opposition to Torrijos or support for the oligarchy he overthrew in 1968.
But representatives of the Independent Democratic Movement, the Panamanian Party, Liberal Party and Christian Democrats gathered publicly for the first time in nine weeks Wednesday and called for a new canal referendum.
THEY SAID a reservation to the treaty guaranteeing the clan's neutrality was the
Disarmament disputes taken up with Soviets
MOSCOW (UP1)—As a top Soviet military expert looked on for the first time in four years, Secretary of State Cyrus P. Vance and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Groussonet look up the fundamentals behind blocks by a new nuclear disarmament agreement.
The disputes for the Americans' concern centers on an entire new family of Soviet intercontinental missiles now being tested and verifiable limits on the short-range Soviet missile capability. Russia made a sundial one-way flight to the United States with a nuclear warhead.
FOR THE RUSSIANS there is particular concern about the American cruise missile, an accurate jet-powered drone that can kill with precision and speed expressed concern about possible American development of a nuclear bomb and say this cannot be used as leverage in the disarmament process.
The Soviet side in the SALT talks for the
first time since 1974 included a high-ranking military man, Gen. Nikolai Okgakov. He is a strategic expert, and the U.S. team took his presence as a sign that the Soviets were prepared to make important—if tentative—decisions.
THE ATMOSPHERE surrounding the talks was clouded during the day by an official U.S. protest over the Soviet agency Tass' refusal to transmit photographs of two women being arrested in front of the U.S. Embassy during a demonstration.
The talks, which both Vance and Gromyko described as "exceptionally important," are expected to last through tomorrow. The leaders will meet with Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev.
So far, according to the American spokesman, the discussions have dealt only with the question of strategic arms, although they will reach other matters, including the Soviet and Cuban presence in Africa, the Middle East and human rights.
The governor's signature marked the end of a long and sometimes difficult road for the legislation, which set the first presidential election for April 1980.
Delegates will be bound to vote for the candidate on the first ballot, and for the national election on the second.
They also said they wanted more guarantees for political exigencies before they came to power.

WASHINGTON (UPI)—The House Armed Services Committee yesterday voted to restore $340 million that President Jimmy Carter had paid for two types of Navy fighter planes.
The panel adopted an amendment by Rep. Charles Wilson, D-Calif., adding $138 million to fund four additional F-18 fight planes and $262 million for 12 additional F-14
Fighter planes backed by panel
The administration had proposed building five F-18 planes in the new fiscal year and 24 of the F-14 models. The vote in the committee, if they survive voting in the House and Senate, would push full construction to nine F-18 planes and 36 F-14 craft.
The action came as the panel worked on Carter's proposed $126 billion defense authorization measure for fiscal 1979, which starts Oct. 1, 1978.
The decision to fully fund the F-18, Wilson notied, will mean 11,000 jobs at the Northrop Corp. and 500 jobs at Hughes Aircraft, both in California. The F-14 decision, according to the Air Force, will mean 1,000 jobs will be saved at the Grumman Aerospace Corp. in Long Island, N.Y.

Kissinger says he knew little of influence buying
WASHINGTON (AP)—Former presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger testified yesterday that he was told in 1972 that South Korea had allegedly bribed a congressman but said he was not aware of allegations of alleged Korean influence buying.
Kisinger, former President Richard Nixon's national security adviser, told a House subcommittee he saw only one of three warnings sent him by then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and former Attorney General John N. Mitchell.
"THE ONLY RECOLECTION I have is the one congressman who was later indicted." Kissinger said. He did not identify the congressman.
However, informed sources later today
identified the congressman as former Rep. Corp. Cornelius E. Gallager, D-N.J., who was inicted in 1972 in a kickback case unrelated to the Korean influence buying probe. He was subsequently served and served 17 months in prison.
KISSINGER SAID that during 1972 he concentrated on the Vietnam war, U.S.-Soviet arms limitation talks and several other issues but left everything else, including developments on South Korea, to his aides or to federal agencies.
Kissinger said he had about 50 aides who analyzed messages coming into his office and only those messages that made him think his decision were brought to his attention.
