Reagan, Gorbachev to meet
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev brought a surprise end to the Daniello-Zakharov spy affair yesterday with the announcement that they will meet in Iceland on Oct. 11-12 to prepare for a full-scale summit.
Both arms control and the problem of divided spouses, those married couples who have one spouse living in the Soviet Union, will be topics of discussions, officials said.
Reagan emphasized that he regarded the meeting in Reykjavik, the Icelandic capital, as something less than a formal summit — not a ceremonial signing of agreements — and added, "I have no way of knowing what the outcome will be."
"This is not a summit," Reagan said. "This was a suggestion by him that he and 1 — one on one — meet earlier and in a neutral country, because we have agreed that, as to the summits, this one would be here and the next one would be in their country."
Nonetheless, when asked about prospects for progress in arms control, where movement has been reported in recent weeks, he said, "The chances are better than they've been in many years for reaching some agreement on arms reduction."
Reagan made a surprise appearance before reporters at the White House to announce the mini-summit in Iceland, proposed by Gorbachev in a Sept. 19 letter, although his thunder had been muted, if not stolen, by an official Soviet announcement minutes earlier.
The meeting announcement was the culmination of what Secretary of State George Shultz called a pretty good week.
The case of reporter Nicholas Daniloff, who was arrested in Moscow Aug. 30 on espionage charges, had threatened to cripple superpower relations. But lightning-quick developments over less than 24 hours, orchestrated in extended talks between Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shewardnadze, resolved the month-long standoff.
Moments before Reagan appeared before reporters, Shultz also announced that Yuri Orlov, a prominent Soviet dissident arrested in 1977, and his wife would be allowed to leave the Soviet Union — thus forging the final link in a chain of events that allowed both sides to achieve key goals, freedom for Daniloff and Zakharov, while meeting the U.S. demand the resolution not appear to be a swap.
The scheduling of the Reagan Gorbachev meeting was an unexpected bit of iceing on the diplomatic cake. Reagan made clear that the release of Danloff, a correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, was
essential to the outcome.
"I could not have accepted and held that meeting if he was still being held." Reagan said.
s叭tzl told reporters the meeting would be less than a formal summit and an opportunity to begin better superpower relations.
Last year in Geneva, during their first meeting, the president and Soviet general secretary agreed a summit this year would be held in the United States, with a 1887 meeting in the Soviet Union.
Although Reagan and his top aides always have maintained a summit must be well prepared, Shultz was vague about the agenda for the Reykjavik meeting, suggesting a change of attitude.
"Obviously, we are going to talk about arms control," Shultz said, "as well as other issues now that the cloud of the Daniloff affair has lifted."
The divided spouse issue also will be one topic of discussion at the meeting a State Department official said yesterday.
"You can rest assured that it will be on the agenda," said the official who requested anonymity.
The State Department official said the divided spouse problem will be raised in Iceland as part of U.S. interest in human rights.

Senate approves anti-drug bill
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A near-unanimous Senate passed an antidrug bill yesterday amid charges that the plan to finance the $1.4 billion measure was a "cop-out" because it neither raised taxes nor cut existing programs.
The House earlier passed a more sweeping, more expensive $2.87 billion fiscal 1987 anti-drug bill, and House and Senate negotiators now will meet to resolve some fairly substantial differences over such issues as the death penalty and the
Senators voted 97-2 in favor of the election year legislation, virtually assuring that some anti-drug bill will find its way to President Reagan's desk before the 99th Congress adjoins later this month. Only Sens, John Melcher, D-Mont., and Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H., opposed the bill.
level of military involvement in the war on drugs.
Senators adopted a resolution calling for new revenues to finance provisions of the bill rather than taking the money out of existing programs, as the House had voted to do by approving a 0.33 percent cut in discretionary spending and reprogramming that money into the anti-drug fight.
"Let's be tough enough to raise taxes whether the president likes it or not," Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colo., said during debate on the financing resolution.
Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., threatened a filibuster unless the continuing resolution — a fiscal 1987 money bill being considered by the Senate — contains new funds for the war on drugs. Not voting for those new funds would be "a betrayal of faith," he said.
"nis is a cop-out for sure." Sen. William Armstrong, R-Colo., said of the Senate financing resolution, which calls on Senate appropriators to find money for the drug fight.
The Senate bill authorizes about $1.5 billion for drug interdiction, eradication, prevention, education and treatment programs, as well as grants to state and local governments. It does not include the House-passed provision calling for the death penalty for those convicted of drug-related murders.
Nor does it contain the House language requiring Reagan to use whatever military force is necessary to "substantially halt" the flow of illegal drugs law.
The Senate bill allows some increased use of military resources to combat drug trafficking, but not nearly the level of military involvement called for in the House bill.

Daniloff arrives in Washington Reporter pleased with release terms
United Press International
WASHINGTON — U.S. journalist Nicholas Danioll, his arms raised in triumph and joy, came home yesterday with his "personal honor and integrity" intact after a month's detention in Moscow on spying charges.
Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, traveled more than 4,000 miles from West Germany for the joyful reunion with his family at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C.
"After this long journey of 30 days, I feel terrific," a beaming Daniloff said at a news conference.
he thanked President Reagan for finding a diplomatic solution that ended his detention in Moscow honorably, saying that on his long flight from West Germany he considered "what a wonderful nation it is that will go all-out for a

"I said I did not want to be equated with a professional spoy." Daniello said, adding that under the arrangement worked out between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, "I don't believe that has happened."
Daniloff said he thought the KGB had done more damage to itself than to him by trying to set him up on espionage charges. "I think they're going to be very loathe to do another action of this sort," he said.

The release of U.S. journalist Nicholas Damloff and the probation of Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, received mixed reactions yesterday in Lawrence.
By PAMELA SPINGLER
The announcement of the no-contest plea by Zakharov, who was charged with three counts of espionage in federal court in New York City, came as President Reagan announced a meeting with Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Oct. 11 and 12 in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Gerald Mikkelsen, professor of Slavic languages and literatures, said the trade and the meeting would put both the United States and the Soviet Union in a favorable light.
However, he said other countries saw the United States and the Soviet Union as petulant children who allow small issues to stop discussions about important ones.
"This is evidence that the superpowers can reach agreement on other issues." Mikhelson said, adding that Soviet citizens, as well as U.S. citizens, would be relieved by the meeting.
He said the meeting probably wouldn't produce any large changes in relations, but it would help organize the summit, tentatively scheduled for next summer.
City Commissioner David Longhurst said he was delighted that a meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev was set up but added his views were not necessarily representative of the city.
Although skeptical that any actual
agreements would come from the pre-summit summit, Longhurst said it allowed the two countries to discuss serious problems, such as arms control.
Longhurst, who was involved in a recent postcard campaign designed to bring a Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Lawrence, said he thought the city's chance of being the summit site had not diminished.
"It has been as good as it has ever been," he said.
Allan Cigler, associate professor of political science, said that both Reagan and Gorbachev were saving face by the trade and the summit.

Local lawyer guilty of drug possession
By TONY BALANDRAN
A prominent Lawrence lawyer, who also is a former Kansas deputy attorney general, pleaded guilty yesterday morning in U.S. District Court in Topeka to a misdemeanor charge of possession of cocaine
Charge:
Bradley J. Smoot, 36, 720 Louisiana
St., the lawyer and former chairman of the Douglas County Republican Central Committee, entered his plea before U.S. Magistrate G.T. VanBeber during his first court appearance.
Smoot declined comment and referred questions to his lawyer, Thomas Hancy of Topeka, a former assistant U.S. attorney.
vanbebber accepted Smoot's plea and ordered an investigation of the case by the federal Probation Department.
VanBebber released Smoot on a $1,000 own-recognition bond and ordered him to appear back in magistrate's court Nov. 25 when the probation, or pre-sentence, report will be issued.
The court will either sentence Smoot or defer judgement on his guilty plea, he said.
A pre-sentence report will include background information about Smoot that will be used in determining his sentence, said Emil Tonkovik, KU professor of law. Tonkovik commented only on procedure and not specifically on Smoot's case.
If the court defends judgment, it will place Smoot on probation for

defined period not exceeding one year. Hapye said.
If Smoot meets the requirements under the probation for that time, the court will allow Smoot to withdraw his plea and the charges will be dismissed, he said.
According to federal law, possession of cocaine is a misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $5,000, or both.
"I have great confidence with the judgment of the court," said Harney, who declined to predict what the court might decide. "I don't want to prejudice Brad's case while it is still in court."
Smoot was charged Sept. 22 with one count of possession of cocaine in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan.
Kan Smoot was charged after Richard von Ende, former University executive secretary, pleaded guilty to a charge of distributing about 1 gram of cocaine to Smoot on Jan 16 at the West Lawrence interchange of the Kansas Turnpike.
Von Ende's sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 10 at the U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. Von Ende and 20 others, including 12 former KU students, were indicted July 22 on cocaine-related charges.
George Clemente, a federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent, said last week that Smoot had been under suspicion during the yearlong investigation that led to von Ende's arrest.
