UNITED NATIONS — President Reagan said farewell yesterday to West Europe and Asia allies with more of their joint defense burden.
His message, summed up at a news conference by Assistant Secretary of State Rozanne L. Ridway, was: "More can be done."
but even while praising the president for his commitment to the North Atlantic alliance, the allies insisted that, in return, they were carrying a fair share.
The allies stressed their contribu-
ions to economic development in the Third World, Ridgway said.

BERLIN — Japan took another step yesterday in its effort to become a leader in American economic policies and to assert its dominance in the Latin American debt problem.
But U.S. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady gave a cool reception to the pla, which is seen by some as his own. The administration's own "Baker Plan."
The Japanese proposal, presented at the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank, calls for some Latin debts to be converted into bonds. Payment terms on the rest of the loans will be lengthened 'under appropriate conditions.'
back up the billions of dollars in loans, the debtor countries could set aside billions of dollars held in trust by the IMF, bank of Japan Governor Satsuhiro Sumita said on Friday.

Soviets propose radar conversion
UNITED NATIONS — The Soviet Union offered yesterday to convert a Siberian radar complex into an international space research center and asked that its personnel, same with radars based in Greenland and Britain
The offer was made by Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze during a speech at the 43rd General Assembly. He also complained of "the negative position of our negotiating partners," the United States, for the slowness of talks aimed at reducing 60 percent reduction in strategic nuclear arms.
The Soviet envoy, speaking through an interpreter, said the disputed radar complex in Siberia could be used by a World Space Organization. The Russian envoy said it would be at Abakalov near the city of Krasnovarsk.
The Associated Press
The United States contends the radar violates the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty because it is not on the outskirts of the Soviet Union facing outward, as the treaty requires.
A similar proposal about the radar complex was
made earlier this month by Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, who also suggested the United States take 'appropriate action' concerning its nuclear programme in Britain, which it says also violated the ABM Treaty.
The United States has said it would not sign a treaty to cut superpower nuclear arsenal unless Moscow agrees.
"We would like to call upon the government of the United States to follow that example of Krasnovarsk and thus pat to rest our concern with Russia and Greenland and Britain." Shewardnaz said Tuesday.
The speech came one day after Ferdinand Reagan delivered his seventh and final address to the nation.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators overwhelmingly approved a historic, work-oriented welfare bill that despite bitter criticism from members who labeled it nittive and fraudulent.
The conference committee adopted their land-mark compromise 35-8 after conservatives and moderates had heaped heavy praise on the plan, saying it was "a safe and parental responsibility among welfare recipients.
"A chance like this doesn't come along very often," said Rep. Dan Rostenkoven, D-Ill., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. He said the $3.34 billion plan "demands that welfare recipients aid themselves, but it also provides the money and the support that is needed for economic independence."
words were drowned out by his engine operator. House insurgents led by Rep. Augustus Hawkins, D-Calf, chairman of the Education and Labor Committee, condemned the bill for imposing a workplace requirement on some recipients. "It is wrong to demand such for people off the rolls." Hawkins aid
President Reagan, returning to the White House from New York, said he was happy with the measure, the first major overhaul of the welfare system in 50 years. The remainder of Reagan's
Hawkins and others also charged that the bill failed to assure high-quality child care for mothers who would have to participate in a work, education and training program.
