They discussed possible compromises on the divisive U S -imposed Soviet pipeline sanctions, but they are still far apart on the issue, a U S spokesman said "Both underscored the need to develop a well-defined policy on East-West economic rela tions," said State Department spokesman John Hughes, adding they had not agreed how that would be done Before the Shultz-Gromyko talks began, officials said the two men probably would dis cuss a U.S.-Soviet summit con ference, but make no decision on holding one "I don’t know that there is a groundswell of opinion for it," Hughes said Hughes said the two might meet again if they "think it is worthwhile " A second meeting would be at the Soviet mission Shultz is holding a series of meetings with foreign ministers of other nations in connection with the 37th session of the U N General Assembly The Soviets have indicated on four recent occasions their in terest in a possible summit con ference between Soviet Pres ident Leonid Brezhnev and Pres Ronald Reagan A senior State Department official told reporters in Washington last week that it was certain to be raised in the Shultz-Gromyko meeting "It's a subject they will discuss," said the official, who did not want to be identified Shultz and Pym had a two hour breakfast in Shultz' suite at the U N Plaza Hotel Hughes said they talked about the pipeline issue "within the framework of broad East-West relations " The subject has been so divi sive in U.S.-West European relations that it wasn't dis cussed in any detail in Shultz earlier meetings with officials of West Germany and France Hughes said it had been decid ed nothing would be gained by talking about it But Pym is at the forefront of those trying to find a com promise Britain, West Germany, France and Italy have objected to the Reagan admin istration's decision to penalize European companies that participate in construction of a Soviet natural gas pipeline to Europe using U S -licensed equipment and technology Senators fight for wilderness WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of the Northwest's U S senators are gearing for battle over legisla tion to limit oil, gas and geothermal leasing in wilderness areas Sen. James McClure, R-ldaho and chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, opposes a bill that would ban leasing in more than 40 million acres of existing or proposed wilderness areas The bill is sponsored by Sen Henry Jackson, D-Wash , who preceeded McClure as committee chairman Environmentalists have made the issue their top priority in the current Congress A showdown between the two senators could take place over the issue as Congress moves toward a pre-election recess early next month Jackson said he will try to bring up the bill this week, but indicated he does not expect full Senate passage before the elections. Jackson's anti-leasing bill is co-sponsored by 53 members of the Senate A similar bill already has passed the House Interior Secretary James Watt announced last year that he would consider allowing oil and gas leases in wilderness areas, an option his predecessors chose not to exercise That trig gered an outcry from members of Congress and the public, and Watt agreed to a temporary moratorium on leasing in designated wilderness areas through the end of this year But environmentalists were still worried be cause millions of acres recommended for wilder ness or under further study were not covered by Watt s moratorium They also feared what could happen to the 25 million acres of existing wilder ness after Watt's moratorium expires.

The letter, which mentioned a 38-caliber pistol, was turned over to Roger Adelman, the U S attorney for the District of Columbia, according to the source. There was no answer when a reporter telephoned Adelman s home Tuesday night. The source said the intended recipient of the letter was one of several women who have sent sympathetic letters to Hinckley, who has carried on a one-sided romance with Foster Hinckley was ordered confined indefinitely to St. Elizabeths after a federal jury last June found him innocent by reason of insanity in the March 1981 shootings of Pres.
