International The U.S. held high-level talks with Soviet officials in Washington on arms control and other issues that could be settled when President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev hold their next summit meeting. But because of the unresolved case of Nicholas S. Daniloff, the American journalist, the timing of such a meeting remained in doubt.

International Steps to lessen war risk in Europe were taken by NATO and Warsaw pact negotiators in Stockholm who agreed on a major new security package. For the first time, the two alliances have undertaken to give each other advance warning of all significant military exercises and similar activity across an area of Europe stretching from the Atlantic to the Ural Mountains. The agreement will also allow foreign inspection of each side's forces to establish that neither is preparing a surprise attack. The Soviet delegation withheld final approval of the pact while waiting instructions from Moscow, diplomats reported. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] Settlement of the Daniloff case might be possible at meetings in New York this week with Secretary of State George P. Shultz, the Soviet Foreign Minister said. Mr. Shultz said he was encouraged by the suggestion. At the same time, Gennadi I. Gerasimov, the Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman, continued to stress Moscow's new attitude on the matter. He said that the issue of the American journalist, Nicholas S. Daniloff, was an unnecessary and minor obstacle to talks on substantial issues and that a way might soon be found to free Mr. Daniloff from detention. [ A1:4. ]

SHULTZ SEES HOPE IN SOVIET COMMENT ON DANILOFF CASE
Date: 22 September 1986

Neil Lewis
Secretary of State George P. Shultz said today that he was encouraged at a suggestion by the Soviet Foreign Minister that they might be able to resolve at meetings in New York this week the case of the American journalist held in Moscow on espionage charges. At the same time, Gennadi I. Gerasimov, the spokesman for the Soviet Foreign Ministry, said today that the issue of the journalist, Nicholas S. Daniloff, was an unnecessary obstacle to talks on substantial issues and that a way might soon be found to free him. ''He is charged, and usually he is going to be put to trial,'' Mr. Gerasimov said of Mr. Daniloff, Moscow correspondent for U.S. News & World Report. ''But because we don't want this particular case to be an obstacle in our relations, we can find some kind of solution and let him free.''

At least 200 American correspondents were killed in World War II and the wars since, and the tally no doubt would be even greater if older records could be found. Despite the toll, a humanitarian organization discovered that there was no national memorial to the reporters and photographers who had fallen in battle and set out to do something about it, an effort that will be culminated soon with a plaque at Arlington National Cemetery.

SUMMIT PATH: CLEARER NOW?

After months of sharp disputes, the United States and the Soviet Union seem suddenly on the road to both a summit meeting and conclusion of a major arms control agreement. Both sides agree, however, that further progress depends on a prompt resolution of the Daniloff affair. Secretary of State George P. Shultz and the Soviet Foreign Minister, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, ended two days of talks Saturday on a note of expectation about a summit meeting later this year. But Administration officials said today that the momentum could quickly be lost if Nicholas S. Daniloff, a correspondent for the magazine U.S. News & World Report, is not freed before Mr. Shevardnadze leaves the United States in the next two weeks. Firm Stand on Daniloff He and Mr. Shultz will be in New York for the General Assembly session that starts Monday and Soviet officials have said Mr. Daniloff's freedom can be arranged there.

PROGRESS IS CITED BY U.S. AND SOVIET ON SUMMIT MEETING

Secretary of State George P. Shultz and the Soviet Foreign Minister said tonight that they had made progress in laying the groundwork for a summit meeting. But they also agreed that the case of an American journalist charged with espionage in Moscow was an obstacle to setting a date for a meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader. Mr. Shultz, in a news conference at the State Department, said two days of talks with the Soviet Foreign Minister, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, had produced ''considerable potential for progress.'' But he said that until the journalist, Nicholas S. Daniloff, was freed, there was no point in scheduling a summit meeting. 'Constructive and Positive' On the issues that could form the basis for a meeting between Mr. Reagan and Mr. Gorbachev, he said, the talks were ''serious, constructive and positive.''

EUROPE GRUMBLING ON DANILOFF CASE
Date: 21 September 1986
By Joseph Lelyveld, Special To the New York Times
Joseph Lelyveld
The case of Nicholas S. Daniloff, the American correspondent charged with espionage in Moscow, has quickened European anxieties about the course of Soviet-American relations. It has also provoked criticism of the Reagan Administration's response from the right as well as the left. Mr. Daniloff himself has been accorded considerable sympathy, with nearly all commentators and politicians who have expressed themselves on the case accepting without question his denial of any involvement in intelligence activities. The criticism of Washington's handling of the affair since Mr. Daniloff's detention on Aug. 30 has focused more on its competence and judgment than its version of events.

THE PERILS OF REPORTING FROM MOSCOW

THE VOICE ON THE PHONE was familiar, a foreigner in Moscow with good Soviet sources. ''Nick Daniloff has been arrested and will be charged with espionage,'' he said. The words hit like a lightning bolt. Moments before, I had returned to our apartment after strolling about Moscow, enjoying a warm, gentle Saturday afternoon late last month with thousands of Muscovites relaxing outdoors. Touched by the festive atmosphere, I felt more at ease than at almost any time since arriving here a year ago. It seemed impossible that Daniloff, the Moscow correspondent for U.S. News & World Report and an acute observer of Russian life, would be seized as a spy. It sounded like a flashback to the days of Stalin. Shaken, I called the Daniloffs' apartment. Daniloff's wife, Ruth, said he was out but was expected back soon. Afraid of alarming her, I said nothing about the call. When I phoned the duty officer at the United States Embassy and asked if there were any unusual problems, he said no and I left it at that, wondering if I was the target of a nasty joke.
