Correspondent Reports U.S.-Russia On Verge Of Signing Trade Pact > : < MOSCOW (AP)--A leading Soviet news correspondent, reporting on Henry A. Kissinger's talks here, said yesterday the United States and the Soviet U- nion are on the verge of signing a giant new trade pact. It may include the location of an American trade center in Moscow, complete with hotels. Kissinger, President Nixon's special adviser, wound up three days of C talks with Kremlin leaders and prepared to leave this week for Britain for talks with Prime Minister Edward Heath. The Kremlin talks have been held since Monday in secrecy with officials from neither side disclosing what was going on. But Victor Louis, a Soviet citizen whowrites for the London Evening Stan- dard from Moscow, said in a dispatch to the newspaper yesterday that one of the outcomes of the talks would be a trade agreement that would be worth $4.90 Billion a year by 1977. Louis has often reported accurately on what has transpired inside the Kremlin. He was first to report the ouster of Nikita S. Khrushchev in 1964 and predicted the Soviet-led invasion of Czech- oslovakia in 1968. He wrote that Kissinger's decision to extend his stay in Moscow by one day "seemed to under- line" that the trade negotiations "had gone beyond the stage of consultation." "The pact would lead to trade and export-import bank credits on a scale that only the superpowers could afford," he added. "The Americans are already planning a trade center in Moscow complete with American firms and hotels - and the American way of doing business." U.S. officials in Mos- SENBYKENINGER cow said they had no information on the report. 0Gen. Creighton Abrams Discusses Air Raids Ordered By Gen. Lavelle WASHINGTON (AP)--General Creighton Abrams wentbeforea Senate committee yesterday for an unusual round of questioning of high-level military con- duct. With such issues as civilian control of the military on some senators' minds, Abrams was to be asked about his version of the North Vietnam air raids ordered by General John D. Lavelle. Senate action on Abram's nomination as Army Chief of Staff has been held up by the Armed Services Committee's inquiry into Lavelle's conduct. Committee Chairman Senator John Stennis, D-Miss., said the senators want to know "what information Abrams had of the situation. .what was his duty. .and what he should have done.'' in his capacity as topU.S. commander in Vietnam. Stennis after secretly questioning Lavelle, Abrams' subordinate as commander of the 17th Air Force in Vietnam, said the inquiry seems to be "more a question of disobedience ." Senator Stuart Symington, D-Mo.,a W ATER CRISIS: former Secretary of the Air Force and committee member, has said he feels Figures for Wednesday, Sept. 13 Lavelle wasn't alone in ordering the raids last winter and spring.
