To this end. he proposed Of

that any substantial outlay for

ton Tuesday and sail from New
York Wednesday for Europe.
He had hoped to sign the
final agreement before he left.
But Soviet officials are now
saying that matters of prin-
ciple stand above formalities
like signing.
The Soviet Union prefers ex-
change Of nonpolitical broad
casts only.
The chief American negotia-
tor. Ambassador William 8. B.
Lacy. Is understood to be press
ing for q broadening Of the
radio and television exchanges
to include some political broad
casts.
Partial Success Seen
Apparently he has been at
least partially successful. A
limited number Of political
broadcasts are expected to be
provided for in the final agree
ment.
When the announcement is
made. 1t is expected to take the
form Of a short joint commu-
nique with appended texts of
many separate agreements in
principle. covering a broad
range Of exchanges Of persons
and information.
Periodic exchange Of nom
political radio and television
broadcasts for nationwide dis
tribution already has been
agreed upon.
The definition Of "nonpoliti-
cali has not been spelled out by
the negotiators. whose sessions
have been held in secret.
But a clue to their meaning
is contained in the opening de-
mands made by both sides.
Ambassador Lacy announced
publicly last october % that
he would continue to press the
United States demand OF July
1855 for exchange Of radio and
TV commentaries on world
events"

Ambassador Zaroubin made
no reference to previous posi-
tons. but did include in a long
list of proposed exchanges one
"for an exchange of radio and
television broadcasts on SCI
ence, techniques. sports. indus
try. agriculture, education and
health"
There would seem to be con-
siderable opportunity for po-
litical comment in broadcasts
on industry. agriculture. educa-
ton and health.
Whether Ambassador Ia
roubin has yet agreed to an
exchange Of any kind Of COM
mentary on world events is not
yet clear.
Mr.. Zaroubin was not able
TO get agreement on another
proposal he made last October
. That was for an exchange Of
