A GE spokesman in Paris, Claule Lomas, Confirmed ind'istry reports that there has been a new ruling on GE's core, element for a jet engine that is being developed for the next generation of medium-range aircraft. Lomas added that GE is still waiting for the export license. THE DECISION to permit the Schenectady, N.Y., based electrical giant to collaborate was toll to President Georges Pompidou of France by President Nixon at their summit conference at Reykjavik three weeks ago, industry sources said.

What the White House approved, Lomas said, is a plan to make the core of the engine, which is where of the advanced technology is involved, in the United Stales and to export the systems to France, where a French company would complete the engines. In this way, the American technology would be "shared and still protected," Lomas insisted. The original export license application by GE last August was rejected on the following grounds: The engine was constructed by GE with Defense Department money, or in other words the money of American taxpayers. Constructing the engine with a French company instead of building it completely in the United States and ejrporting it would check the number of workers who could be employed by the project. GE has argued that it needs French money to nies in Europe and the United States think will be dominating the market from the end of the 1970's to the end of the 1980s.

These would be medium-sized subsonic planes that in effect would replace present DC9s, Caravelles ar.d Boeing T27s. Much of the work on the new engine will be done by the GE Evendale jet engine plant, according to Gerhard Neumann, GE Aircraft Engine Group vice president. Neumann told The Enquirer Friday night from his Lynn, Mass. home "the next two years will have no measurable impact" on employment at the Even-dale facility. "However, after two years there ought to begin to have additional people employed (at the plant) in early or mid 1977," Neumann said.

help it develop the engine for the commercial market. But the deal also cements GE's relations with the French government. Just announced, as possibly one extia dividend from the decision, were contracts to GE for two nuclear power stations awarded by the state-owned electric power monopoly. Under the project GE would build the so-called 10-ton engine (known also in the trade as the CFM-55) in partnership with France's Societe Nationale d'Etude et Deu Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation (known more simply as SNECMA).

Brezhnev carried their summit across America Friday after signing an agreement to try to avert the danger of nuclear war.

En route from Washington to California, the President's jet dipped low over the spectacular canyons and deserts of the Western United States. During the five-hour flight, the two leaders also discussed the communique to be issued Monday when Brezhnev leaves the United States after a week of summit talks. PRESIDENTIAL ASSISTANT Henry A. Kissinger said the document was "nine-tenths complete." He said it would range over improved U. relations as well as European issues amd Vietnam.

In the new nuclear agreement they signed in Washington, they pledged joint efforts and "urgent consultations" to deflect the risk of wars and nuclear disaster. Three years ago the Soviet Union tried but failed to convince the United States it should stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Moscow to guard against Communist kylab 3 Return Triura men of Skylab I boarded the orbiting laboratory 28 days earlier, it was overheated, underpowered and seemed destined for failure.

DESPITE MEDICAL FEAR Of them and between either of the parties rnd other countries." A mutual promise to "refrain from the threat of the use of iorce" against each other, the other's allies and other countries "in circumstances which may endanger International peace and security." If the risk of nuclear war rises they "shall immediately enter into urgent consultations with each ")ther and make every effort to avert this risk." Nothing in the agreement affects inherent right of self-defense by the United States or the Soviet Lnion, alone or with their allies. With the agreement, the United States hopes to have additional means of reassuring Peking, with which it is Improving relations, that lt has acted to restrain the Russians. That is because the agreement pledger, Moscow and the United States both to avert a risk of war. Asked whether he consulted with the new China llasion office in Washington before the understanding was made final. Kissinger avoided a direct response.

However, he said, "The United States consulted with several countries but I don't want to go into enumeration." KISSINGER SAID THE purpose of the pact was "to legalize and simplize restraint on the part of the two cuperpowers in their International law." He said the "original impetus" for the agreement came from Moscow, but "both parties made a substantially equal contribution." He wuuld not specify to which trouble spots, such as the Middle East, it would apply. But looking back, Kissinger said the agreement might have avoided the 1962 Cuban missile crisis and several crises over Berlin. After the signing, Brezhnev said it was "a truly historic ceremony" and illustrates the consolidation of earlier steps taken toward lifting from the world the fear of nuclear war. Brezhnev had met earlier for an hour and a half with American businessmen at the Blair House. Several who watched him said Brezhnev expressed a "very sincere desire" to push ahead with expanded trade and to ease political relations.

Brezhnev also told the men he will address the American public on television "in a few days' time." On Page 5: U. S. obligations to NATO preserved in pact. On Page 16: Complete text of agreement. On Page 26: Mission sample survey finds.

They guided the command ship through a series of rocket firings which slowed it down and brought it soaring through the atmosphere on a fiery pnth to Earth. Three bright orange and white parachutes blossomed above the craft at 10,000 feet, and the straining nylon mushrooms lowered the iireJstreaked spaceship to the precise pinpoint splashdown. "Everybody is in supershape," said Conrad as the craft bobbed on the water.

The spacecraft returned from space through a heavy layer of clouds which obscured the view of hundreds of white-suited sailors lining the deck of the carrier. The Ticonderoga skipper, Capt. Norman K. Green, maneuvered the carrier beside the three-ton spacecraft in gentle Pacific waves. A line was attached and 25 sailors, hauling in rhythm, pulled the jpent spaceship next to the 600-foot-long carrier.

BECAUSE OF medical concern j.bout the deconditioning effect on the astronauts after four weeks in space, provisions had been made to remove the astronauts from the command ship on stretchers. Quick medical tests by Kerwin, a physician, however, removed any question about the spacemen being carried. Conrad, then Weitz and finally Kerwin climbed unsteadily through a spacecraft hatch while the ship's band played "Anchor's Aweigh" for the all-Navy crew.

Kissinger, jn briefing newsmen, was asked about application to China.

He skirted the subject somewhac, while saying: "We have no intention of being an arbiter between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China." HOWEVER, HE said at another point, "Clearly under this agreement the use of roce against another country which would have wide repercussions would be precluded." Key articles of the agreement include: A mutual promise by the two countries "to act in such a manner as to orevent the development of situations capable of causing a dangerous exacerbation of their relations, as to avoid military con-Irontations, and as to exclude the outbreak of nuclear war between Lhem biological samples and thousands ol feet of film and tape which experts believe will provide precious new knowledge about the Sun, the Earth and about man himself. President Nixon hailed their accomplishment as ''a source of intense pride for the American "You have given conclusive evidence tliat even with the most advanced scientific and technological support in the world, the courage and resourcefulness of good men are still central to the success of the human adventure," said a telegram from the President.

businessmen took the view that political issues such as the free emigration of Soviet citizens and freedom of expression for intellectuals should not interfere with improved trade relations. "WHY SHOULD we impose our form of government on them?" asked Brown. Freeman agreed. "I think it's completely wrong to use trade as leverage on them (to change their policies.) They can't come over and use leverage on us."

Brezhnev Friday preached to some of America's leading businessmen the bounties of active, aggressive trade. Fifty-one top U. S. business officials financiers, manufacturers of heavy equipment, oil Importers and airplane exporters made up a receptive and believing congregation. "He spoke of the great progress in our political relations," said one American businessman, "of the need to build commercial bridges between our two countries and of his desire for close working co-operation with the United States." There were signs of an incipient alliance between the Soviet Communist Party chief and the captains of American Industry, who over the last year have begun to talk the same language.

"Look through history," suggested George R. Brown, chairman of the board of Brown and Root, Inc. of Texas. "People of different ideologies have to do business together."
