Russell Train, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said the potential of the regulations for affecting the course of development in this country is extremely significant. Train estimated that perhaps 350 shopping centers a year would be review subject to 150 well lots as as and parking garages. It is also estimated that 11 airports per year serving regularly scheduled air carriers will be built ; however, most would probably not be large enough to be subject to review under the proposed regulations," he added. Hie regulations also would cover the construction of highways, although Train said no information on how many roadways would be subject to review was available.

Under the regulations, which would become effective in six months, the states would have to designate certain areas within their boundaries which have the potential for exceeding clean air standards in the next decade. In the meantime, the EPA will consider all metropolitan areas to be such designated areas.

Leaders of the group said their primary purpose was to establish contact with Soviet goverment officials, lawyers and trade representatives, and to discuss a legal framework for conducting trade. This is the first time American lawyers have made a thrust for international trade promotion in the Soviet Union in the same way that businessmen have been doing, said Walter W. Regirer of Richmond, Va., chairman of the subcommittee on briefing trips of the American Bar Associations International Law Section. We need to explode the myth that the U.S. legal framework is an impediment to trade with the Eastern Bloc," said Robert Starr, a former State Department official who now is an international lawyer based in London. The fact is that the U.S. legal framework is such as to permit trade." MOSCOW (UPI)-M- ore Starr said that assessment would have to be reviewed if the U.S. Congress blocks trade status for the Soviets or adopts proposed legislation that would deny export-impobank credits to Russia. But for now, he said, trading with the Soviets is basically much easier than it was a few years ago. Starr, who helped write the trade agreement of 1972 when he was in the State Departmost-favored-nati- on rt U.S.-Sovi- et ment, said lawyers can help businessmen find solutions to problems in trading here, even though they may not be the same solutions they would find in Western Europe. The International Law Section of the ABA organized the trip as a result of the signing of the trade agreement last year. A similar mission went to Israel two years ago and another will go to Japan next year. Judge Donald K. Duvall of Washington, D.C., chairman of the International Law Section, said the ABA hoped the visit here would not deal. be a one-shIn addition to more seminars, he said, the ABA would like to involve the Soviets in its educational exchange program, with young lawyers working in each others ot country for a few months.

Safety Council Head Trade Balance For September Best Since '65 WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. trade balance, which has been in the red since early 1971, turned into a surplus in September with the showing in strongest more than eight years, the Comone-mont- h merce Department has reported. The value of exports surpassed imports by $878 million, more than wiping out a $720 million deficit accumulated in the first eight months of the year. The dramatic Spetember improvement was the result of a steady increase in exports of American-mad- e goods plus an unusual falloff in imports, reflecting in part smaller orders for foreign automobiles. The nations trade performance e low last had sunk to an summer but has been on the upsurge since as two devaluations of the dollar plus the realignment in exchange rates of other world trading powers made the price of U.S. goods more competitive overseas and the cost of .foreign made goods more expensive here. American consumers have paid a price for this trade improvement in the form of increased inflation. Monthly trade figures often move erratically, reflecting short term price swings and falls of big- items such as aircraft. Still the strength of the September surplus, the biggest since a $878 million surplus in March, 1965, indicated that U.S. foreign trade is likely to finish in the black fra 1973. - all-tim- Vincent L. been elected of the National president Safety Council, succeeding Howard Pyle, who retired after serving in the post for 15 years.
