The World : Soviet Team in W. Germany

A 19-member Soviet inspection team arrived in West Germany to inspect missile sites under the U.S.-Soviet treaty scrapping intermediate-range nuclear arsenals. “The treaty is a milestone in Soviet-American relations and the first step towards saving mankind from the risk of nuclear holocaust,” Soviet chief inspector Vladimir Akimenkov told reporters after the group arrived at the U.S. Rhein-Main Air Base outside Frankfurt. There are six inspectable sites in West Germany, a U.S. spokesman said. Four are bases able to fire missiles, one is a missile repair site and the other a storage site.
