WASHINGTON (UPI) — President
Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezh-
nev, already planning another summit
meeting next year, formally pledged
today to avoid military confrontations
and threats of force that might trigger
nuclear war.

The vows were contained in a policy
declaration which also said the leaders of
the two superpowers would “immediately
enter into urgent consultations with each
other” if a nuclear conflict threatened.

Shortly before Nixon and Brezhnev
signed the agreement in the East Room
 of the White House, Treasury Secretary
George P. Shultz and Soviet Trade Minis-
ter Nikolai S. Patolichey met across
Pennsylvania Avenue in Blair House to
initial another pact intended to
strengthen commerce between the United
States and the Soviet Union. About 50
captains of American industry were
present at the signing.

The two latest accords brought to eight
the number reached since the start of the
summit talks Monday. They were signed
a few hours before Nixon and Brezhnev
were to depart aboard the President’s
 jetliner for San Clemente, Calif., where
they planned to conclude their confer-
ences over the weekend.

The decision by the two leaders to hold
a third summit meeting in as many
years was announced Thursday night at
a lavish banquet in the Soviet Embassy.

Their promises to meet again in Mos-
cow next year were accompanied by
champagne toasts. The jovial atmos-
phere reflected the signing earlier in the
day of pacts intended to accelerate
negotiations to limit and reduce offensive
