Austria (AP) The Soviet Union Thursday introduced a proposal for breaking the deadlock talks on cutting at the NATO and Warsaw Pact troop levels in a major portion of Europe. The plan calls for each side to temporarily limit troop strength to 900,000 men. The freeze would stay in effect until larger reductions are agreed upon, the Soviet proposal said. It also calls for the United States and the Soviet Union to begin mutual troop and arms reductions. The areas under discussion are Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, West Germany, East Germ;e ny. Poland and Czechoslovakia. It is not certain exactly how the plan would affect existing troop levels. because the two sides cannot agree on each other's strength.
