WASHINGTON (UPI) —
President Nixon and Soviet
leader Leonid 1. Brezhnev
pledged today to avoid military
confrontations and threats of
force that might lead to nuclear
war belween their two nations.

In-a policy declaration, * the
leaders of the two nuclear
superpowers agreed to “im-
mediately enter into urgent
cansultations with each- other”
should the risk of a nuclear
conflict arise.

Nixon and Brezhnev signed
the apreement —the eighth
Since the start of their summit
 talks —in a ceremony in the
East Room of the White House
a few hours before their
scheduled departure aboard the
presidential jefliner for San
Clemente, Calif., for the cunclu-
sion of their week-long con-
ference.

In the agreement, the two
leaders promised that the
United States and the Saviet
Union “will act in such a
manner as to prevent the
development of situations capa-
ble of causing a dangerous
exacerbation of their relations,
as to avoid military confronta-
 lions, and to exclude the
outbreak of nuclear war be-
tween them and between either
of the parties and other
countries.”

The accord also calls for the
signatories to proceed from the
premise that each will refrain
“from the threat or use of force
against the other party, against
the allies of the other party,
and against other countries, in
circumstances which may en-
danger international peace and
security.”

'n advance vf the signing,
Nixon briefed congressional
 leaders of both parties on the
declaraliun, which is a state-
ment of policy —not a treaty —
and therefore does not require
Senate ratification.

Presidential adviser Henry A.
Kissinger said the intent of the
doctrine was “to prevent the
outbreak of nuclear war.’

The decision of the two
leaders to hold a third summit
conference in aS many years
was announced at a lavish
banquet at the Soviet Embassy.
In a jovial atmosphere, Nixon
and Brezhnev dined and toasted
each ather after signing pacts
earlier in the day- to speed
nuclear arms negotiations and
cooperate in research on

peaceful uses of nuclear ener

By.

Before they boarded the
“Spirit of 74% for a late
afternoon flight to the Westeit
White House, Brezhnev ar
 ranged ta meet. with 40
American businessmen to sell
them on expanded trade with
Hussia.

Raising their glasses in a red.
and gold trimmed banquet
room Thursday night, Nixon
and Brezhnev pledged a con-
tinued effort to expand Soviet-
American friendship.

“... The Soviet Union's line at
improving relations with the
United States is not some
temporary phenomenon,” the
stocky Brezhnev said, “it is a
firm and censistent line reflect-
ing the permanent principles of
Suvict foreign policy Tt isa
line hal rests on the full
support of our people.”

Nixon replied he hoped the
third summit meeting could be
held next June. He indicated he
wished the meetings to became
csoinval affairs.

 

 
 
Advisers Urge That He Go into
New York, Massachusetts
and New Jersey for at Least
One Speech for Each State
and More if Time Can be
Found for Them; May Speak
in Washington Labor Day.
 | Washington, Aug. 28.--(4)-—-Con-
tinuing conferences with Republican
campaign managers in the east, Her-
bert Hoover today was assembling
information upon which to base a
decision as to the extent he will par-
ticipate personally in the presidential
fight there.
William H. Hill, chairman of the
New York State committee, had an
engagement with the Republican
standard bearer to supplement the
advices given him yesterday by
[Charles D. Hilles, National Commit-
teeman for New York, and Daniel E.
Pomeroy, vice chairman of the New
Jersey committee.
Reports received by Hoover since
his return from the west indicate
that the eastern situation is one re-
quiring attention and his advisers
are urging him to go into New York,
Massachusetts and New Jersey for at
least one speech for each state and
; more if time can be found for them.
After he has canvassed the eastern
situation. he will be in a position
to fairly well map out his campaign
up to election time. It is certain that
he will take advantage of his swing
| back to his home in California to
vote for making a series of addresses.
Before that time he very probably
will go into the middle west, speak-
‘ing at Chicago and some . other
‘cities, and also into the border
states, but these addresses are likely
to follow those in the east. Some of
jhis advisers think he should speak
jin New York and nearby states not
later than early October.
