Shultz meets with arms advisers to prepare for Moscow meetings
HELSINKI, Finland — Secretary of State George P. Shultz met with a dozen U.S. arms control advisers yesterday to prepare his response to new Soviet overtures that might bring the Reagan administration closer to its first arms control agreement.
In talks opening today in Moscow, Shulz hutzes to clear a major obstacle to a treaty intended to rid Europe of medium-range missiles.
The barrier is the presence of 130 shorter-range rockets in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. The United States
and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies want the right to match that number.
In two speeches, Soviet leader Mikhail B. Gorbachev offered to negotiate a solution while the two sides complete an agreement to eliminate their medium-range missiles from Europe.
Shultz is not likely to give the Soviets a final answer when he sees Foreign Minister Edward A. Shewardnadze, beginning today, and General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev, tomorrow.
Pope celebrates Palm Sunday in Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Nearly a million cheering people waved olive branches and palm fronds in a joyous greeting to Pope John Paul II, the first modern pontiff to celebrate Palm Sunday, Mass outside Rome.
On his last day of a two-week South American pilgrimage, the pope led the Roman Catholic ceremony from an altar on a canopied tent to the Chapel of 360-foot-wide Ninth of July Avenue that runs through the capital.
The pope, in a scene similar to
Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem, rode along a path through the youthful multitude in the cheers of the crowd. "Papa!" "Long Live the Pope!"
But where the Bible has Jesus and his followers arriving on donkeys, John Paul was driven in a white, bullet-proof "pomobile" to the foot of a red-carpeted ramp leading up to the platform.
Yesterday was the final day of his three-nation tour that included visits to Uruguay and Chile before Argentina.

Texaco files for protection from creditors
NEW YORK — Texaco Inc. has filed for protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy law, its president and chief executive officer, James Kinear, said yesterday.
The action will not affect the network of subsidiaries "that constitute the vast bulk of Texaco's operations." Kinnear said.
$11 billion in security during appeals.
Texaco, the nation's third-largest oil company, is embroiled in a multi-billion dollar legal war with Pennzoil Co., which won a huge jury award in a lawsuit against Texaco.
When the U.S. Supreme Court last week rejected a lower court's ruling that freed Texaco from posting the huge bond, pressure increased on Texaco to settle with the judge for bankruptcy court protection.
A jury in Houston found that Texaco unlawfully interfered with a 1984 merchant agreement between Pennzoil and Getty Oil Co. by trying to buy Getty, and it awarded $10.5 billion in damages to Pennzoil.
Evacuees wait for workers to clean up spill
PITTSBURGH — Throughout the city's East End, churches stood silent on Palm Sunday, and thick stacks of newspapers sat unsold in the rain while about 16,000 evacuees waited for workers to remove a deralied tanker's deadly chemical cargo.
The tanker was among 34 railroad cars that toppled off the
tracks when a Conrail freight train on its way to Chicago derailed and plowed into another freight train on a sideways on-site direction Saturday afternoon.
No serious injuries had been reported by yesterday, although 14 people were treated at hospitals for breathing problems immediately after the derailment.
