(UPI) The INF treaty signed in the East Room of the White House was described by the two leaders as "a beginning" or a "sapling" that will grow into a great tree. With about 20 strokes of their pens, President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev eliminated more than 2,600 missiles and about 3,500 nuclear warheads with enough explosive power to wipe out Europe and in Winston Churchill's phrase make the rubble bounce several more times. But the real significance of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty may be in the pattern it sets for even more agreements that could begin to whittle away at the very core of the superpower arsenals the long-ranstrategic weapons aimed at the heartland of each other. The INF verification regime will set the basic pattern and atmosphere for the future, breaking through the barrier of military secrecy with a breathtaking step, so radical that the military leaders of both sides had to be persuaded, and sometimes overruled by the political leadership. The Soviet Union's national tradition of paranoia where taking pictures of a railroad station or a bridge has landed Western tourists in jail has been shattered. Not only did they hand over a list oftheir weapons, replete with exact specifications and location, but also specific data about the darkest secret of all the number of nuclear warheads they possess, and where they are. The Soviet negotiator on the treaty, Alexei Obhukov, said, "This is glasnost (openness) in the area of verification.' far-reach- ing ge CtWIPDJET It was the Soviets who were finally willing to make public the detailed list of the weapons and their warheads, including the location of each base. But it was the State Department that objected, saying such specific information would be a godsend to terrorists, who might be tempted to kidnap some of those nuclear warheads. Thus the detailed list will not be published until it purged of the specific secrets. is The kinds of inspections to be permitted also break new inspections, ground. There will be several kinds of on-si- te including permanent teams stationed on the soil of the other country. Both sides agree to expose their own secret military sites to passing intelligence satellites literally opening their missile doors and roofs to prove they are not cheating. Both leaders talked optimistically of having the next treaty on strategic arms ready for another summit early to reclaim King Suit filed papers from university Lawyers for the estate of Dr. Martin filed suit Tuesday against Boston Luther King Jr. BOSTON (UPI) University, seeking to reclaim 83,000 public and private documents written by the slain civil rights leader, officials said. The suit, filed in Suffolk Superior Court, alleges the "King Papers"- - never were legally willed to the university and that BU has not taken proper care of the documents. . King's widow, Coretta Scon King, in a statement issued by the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, in Adanta, suggested her husband had placed his next year in Moscow. There seems to be a bit of papers with BU only temporarily.

After King led the historic civil rights March on Washington in 1963, the suit contends BU asked DeWolf to persuade King to make the school the repository of his public and private documents. King resisted several requests from DeWolf, saying the papers had "a deep personal value" to his family and that they should stay in a Southern institution" dedicated to the education of black students, preservation of black history and promotion of the Civil Rights Movement," the suit said. Finally, on July 16, 1964, King wrote BU, naming its library as the repository of his papers and DeWolf brought the documents from Atlanta to Boston. The letter also said that upon King's death, materials at BU would become "from that date the absolute property of Boston University." so-call- ed one-upmans- hip 0s .
