WASHINGTON (AP) — The
United States and the Soviet
Union Thursday signed an
agreement in principle to limit
and possibly reduce their stock-
piles of offensive nuclear weap-
ons by the end of 1974.

President Nixon and Soviet
Communist leader Leonid 1.
Brezhnev raised their cham-
pagne glasses in toasts to suc-
cess at the ceremony in the
White House East Room.

The agreement, the out-
standing accomplishment of
their week-long summit, was
forged by Nixon and Brezhnev
earlier at Camp David, the
presidential retreat in the
mountains of Maryland. It is
designed to spur negotiators for
the two countries at the re-
cessed strategic arms limita-
tion talks (SALT) in Geneva.
 For the first time, the two
nations committed themselves
in principle to actual reductions
of their nuclear weaponry as
well as to permanent limita-
tions. Also significantly, the
United States evidently is bow-
ing to Soviet objections to on-
site inspections.

One of the seven stated prin-

ciples provides that ‘national
technical means’’ be the sys-
tem of verifying whether Wash-
ington and Moscow were living
up to a missile limitation.
- Surveillance of multiple inde-
pendently targeted warheads
MIRVS evidently would be re-
stricted mostly ‘o observation
by radar and spy satellite while
in flight tests.

Henry A. Kissinger, the Pres-
ident’s national security ad-
viser, briefing newsmen, said
 that ‘‘those MIRV agreements
that are not verifiable by na-
tional technical means would
be difficult to reconcile’ with
the objective of restricting
complex nuclear offensive
weapons.

The two nations agreed in an-
other provision that efforts by
one or the other to obtain a nu-
clear advantage would be in-
consistent with the goal of
strengthening peaceful rela-
tions.

The arms limitation envis-
ioned by the end of next year
would include not only numbers
but the quality of the missiles.

Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that limitation on
strategic offensive arms must
be subject to “adequate veri-
fication.”’ Both nations would be
permitted to modernize and
 replace weapons only under
conditions to be agreed upon at
Geneva.

The major points of the com-
pact include: (1) controlling
thermonuclear fusion; (2) re-
search on “fast breeder” reac-
 
Los ‘Angeles, Aug. 27—A bill of
‘complaint demanding an accounting
of $10,000,000 was filed in U. S. Dis-
‘trict Court today against Edward
'L. Doheny and the Pan-.imerican
|Petroleum and Transport company. |
| The bill, which charges that stock- |
‘holders of the company lost this sum
through alleged fraud on the part of
| Doheny in the famous Elk Hills oil
‘scandal, was filed by a Los Angeles
‘law firm on behalf of Frank H. Kun-.
‘kel, attorney. of Cincinnati, who
brought the suits in the interests of
‘himself and other stockholders.
Because of Fraud
The bill declares that the $10,000,-
000 was lost by the stockholders |
‘solely because Doheny acted fraud-
‘ulently in connection with the leas-
ing from former Secretary of the In-
terior Albert B. Fall of the Elk Hills
‘Naval Oil Reserve, through large)
‘sums spent in development of the
fields themselves, end elsewhere in
‘connection with the deal. It de-|
mands that an accounting be made
by Doheny and that such money as
was expended in the alleged giving
of a $100,900 bribe to Fall, and m
development of the fraudulently
leased fields, be returned to the
stockholders. |
The complaint declares that -eitner
Kunkel nor the octher stoclzholders.
had any hand in the alleged fraud
whereby the money was lost. It al-.
leges that demand was made upon)
the board of directors of the oil
company for the starting of legal ac- |
tion against Doheny to force the ac-
counting and recovery of this money
and that the board had done nothing. |
The bill cites that in court actions)
taken by the government ior the)
cancelling of the Elk Hills leases, a.
decision was rendered whereby the
oil company and the = stockholders:
lost more than $10,900,000 exnended
in construction of storage tanks at
Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, and in other)
developments of the fields. |
Doheny Pominated
Describing Doheny'’s conduct of the
lease matter as a “fraud not only .
against the United States but also
against the Pan-American and all
its stockholders”, the complaint de-_
clares that at the time of the Elk
