R mrs nato expected to urge Cut a Short Range nuclear arms 5hington a the top Mil Nate All medium and Short Range atom officer of nato said wednesday in Tio oed missiles within three Vears. In Washingto itary office the Alliance is Likely to recommend elimination of a fairly significant number of Short Range nuclear weapons by the end of the year. The reductions would be in addition to the cuts required by the intermediate Range nuclear forces inf treaty and would generally involve nuclear tipped artillery shells said army Gen. John . Galvin said his staff is now about half Way through a study involving How to modernize the North Atlantic treaty organization s Arsenal of Short Range atomic weapons. That study should be finished by de Cember or january Galvin told report ers. My own judgment of it the study is that it will result in another reduction in the Overall number of warheads and it will be a fairly significant reduction but the reduction will be contingent on the modernization we can get Galvin said. He declined to be specific about How Many weapons May be involved. I Don t want to quantify now and i can t quantify now because i really Don t know what the number would be and i Don t want to make any guess at it. I would say it s going to be a significant number he said. The reductions will be dependant upon the ability of nato to replace the eliminated weapons with newer and fewer atomic tipped weapons Galvi said. Both the United states and the soviet Union Are now conducting preliminary round inspections As part of the inf treaty which requires both sides to Elim int atomic Tippe years the inf reductions affect weapons with ranges of 320 to 3,000 Miles but will still leave both sides with Large arse nals of so called tactical weapons which have ranges under 320 Miles. For example nato will still have about 4,200 tactical nuclear weapons including bombs artillery shells and the Lance missile. The Lance with a Range of 70 Miles and thus not covered by the inf pact is one of the prime weapons nato wants to modernize. But the Issue has been controversial particularly in West Germany where Many of the tactical Range weapons Are based. If those weapons Are used they Are Likely to fall upon German soil Gal Vin noted. The proposed reduction will help express to the germans that we Are aware of their concerns said Galvin adding that there is no political purpose or in Tention in bringing this up  on two other occasions in recent years nato has announced unilateral reductions Galvin noted including a Cut of 1,000 warheads and a second decrease of 1,400. This is going to be a unilateral reduction As the other ones were Galvin noted. By the Way i think that unilateral reductions Are a very important part of the arms control negotiations and  i Don t think we be taken enough credit for the fact that we be already made two very Large unilateral reductions one of 1,000 and one of 1,400," he said. The soviets would have made that a massive propaganda Campaign had they made similar cuts he said
