Soviets may set summit date
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The superpowers agreed on a summit agenda and cleared the way for Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to meet President Reagan in the United States later this year, a Soviet spokesman said yesterday.
No date was announced, but one official said privately that the Soviets were proposing the two leaders meet the first week of December.
U. S. officials, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the third meeting between Reagan and Gorbali took place late November or early December.
Boris D. Pyadshev, Foreign Ministry spokesman, told reporters the leaders would sign a treaty to scrap intermediate-range nuclear missiles and discuss cuts in long-range strategic arsenals.
He said they also would discuss limits on developing the promised
U. S. space-based missile defense program known as Star Wars. The Soviet-U.S. dispute over the system prevented agreement on a summit date during Secretary of State George P. Shultz's visit to Moscow last week.
Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze, carrying a letter from Gorbachev to Reagan, was to arrive Washington today for further talks before official said the letter contained the proposal for a summit date.
Padyshyds said, "Presently, we have an understanding that together with the agreement on medium-range and shorter-range missiles, questions relative to strategic offensive weapons and the ABM (anti-ballistic missile) treaty will be thoroughly discussed at a summit meeting. This is sufficient for a summit to take place this year."
During his meeting with Shultz, Gorbachev said he was not yet satisfied there had been sufficient progress on the Star Wars dispute to warrant another meeting with Reagan.
In Washington, Reagan said the date of the summit had not been set and said the timing would have to wait for the talks with Shevadnadez.
Pyadyshev denied there had any change in the Soviet position since Friday, when Gorbachev refused to set a summit date. But he sailed S and US officials accomplished constructive work" after Shultz's meetings last week with the Soviet leadership in Moscow.

NEW YORK — Wall Street regained a measure of its lost vitality yesterday, drawing a second wind that blew the Dow Jones industrial average up more than 90 points in its third-largest gain ever.

The Dow average, which late in the session was up more than 100 points, edged back to close up 91.51 points at 1,938.33. The 5 percent gain, its third-largest one-day advance, followed a 0.33-point gain Wednesday.
by the one dollar lost money. In Washington, the dollar's recent slide, fueled by market fears that the United States may be headed toward another recession, is sparking a new debate within the Reagan administration on an 8-month-old currency stabilization pact.
While publicly declaring they stand behind "The Louvre" accord reached last February in Paris to hold the dollar steady around "current levels," top administration officials said they would like to keep the dollar drop further in a "maintained decline." said sources speaking on condition of anonymity.
Propping up the dollar could mean higher interest rates at the very time the Federal Reserve has been acting to ease them as an anti-recessionary precaution, the sources said.
However, the extent to which the dollar's decline should be managed is generating heated debate within the administration.
James A. Baker III, Treasury,
Secretary, favors only a slight downward modification of the unpubli-

Fatalities related to alcohol increasing
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Alcohol-related traffic deaths are increasing after years of steady increase, a researcher said yesterday. This has raised concern that the campaign is drinking and driving may be losing momentum, especially among young motorists.
The statistics from 32 states showed a 7 percent increase last year in the number of deaths among drivers who were legally intoxicated, and a similar increase in the number of single-vehicle nighttime fatalities.
Both categories traditionally have been used as key indicators of alcohol-related traffic deaths.
"Even though you can't put it all together, the indicators seem to be going in the same (upward) direction. It's reason for concern," said Professor Ralph Hingson, chief of social and behavioral sciences at Boston University's School of Public Health.
But officials of the Transportation Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration challenged Hingson's interpretation of the 1986 figures and said that the shift last year was not significant.
"It it creates an incorrect impression," said NHTSA Administrator Diane Steed. She said a more valid indicator of a shift in trends would be changes in the percentage of drunken-driving fatalities compared with total highway fatalities.
