Arab diplomatic sources said the Saudis and Kuwaitis were bracing to confront a possible Iranian reprisal raid on commercial shipping in the southern sector of the gulf. They said that air and sea patrols by the two countries were limited to territorial waters, and did not cover international sea lanes south of the Space-Weapo- ns timetable, the White House and State Department issued identical statements: As we have indicated in the past, we have accepted the Soviet proposal to meet in Vienna in September. We are continuing our preparations for that and are discussing the matter in diplomatic channels with the Soviets. We are not going to comment on the content of these discussions, but the president has not proposed delaying the talks. While we are prepared for the meeting to take place at any mutually convenient time, as we have said, we have agreed to meet in September. Asked directly about reports that Reagan had proposed to Chernenko that the talks be held in December, the White House official said: Reagan Is Willing I think that these reports suggest that the president would be willing to postpone the meeting if the Soviets feel that meeting before the U.S. elections would be a problem for them, even though they proposed By Lawrence L. Knutson Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON The Reagan administration said Saturday it is still planning to oper talks on space weaponry with the Soviet Union in September, though the president is willing to postpone the meeting, if Moscow prefers, until the November election is decided. Bob Sims, a White House foreign policy spokesman, denied reports that Reagan had specifically proposed to Soviet President Konstantin Chernenko that the negotiations on weapons be put aside until American voters have made their choice. The president has not proposed delaying the talks, Sims said. If Its a Problem But one White House official, commenting on the condition he not be identified by name, said he believes the president is prepared to meet with them afteir the elections if opening the tallis before that time would be a problem for them. Last spring, Reagan told Congress there was virt rally no point in attempting to negotiate a ban of antisatellite weapons, or ASATs, because of difficulties in verfifying compliance with any such treaty. While he did not rule out the possibility of a much narrower agreement on spepolicy-makecific types of ASATs at the Pentagon have balked at any talks until the United States tests and deploys a version that involves a small missile fired from an 5 jet fighter. Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale has called for a and pressure has space freeze mounted in both the House and Senate for negotiations on all arms control fronts. When the Soviets recently proposed that ASAT talks be opened in September, Reagan accepted almost immediately. When asked Saturday if there had been any proposed change in that - anti-satelli- te that The official reiterated that the United States has accepted the Soviet proposal for a September meeting in Vienna without preconditions The United States made clear it would also raise other arms control issues at the talks and the official noted that the Soviets responded that they want the talks focused only on a proposed ban on weapons in space. The official said the United States does not intend to respond to that in public. Wed rather leave our views in the private realm because we believe the way to get them back to the table is through private diplomacy, he said. The Soviet weapon, according to the Pentagon, had failed many of the tests conducted before Moscow announced the moratorium. Compared to the U.S. device, it is crude and rs F-1- slow. Psychiatrists Issue Plea Specialist Says Sakharov Given Psychiatric Drugs By In a statement announcing its protest, the association said it has been reported by reliable sources that Dr. Sakharov is presently confined incommunicado to the Semashko Hospital in Gorky and that Dr. Rozhnov visits him frequently. There is reason for concern that the purpose of Dr. Rozhnovs visits may be to elicit a statement from Dr. Sakharov which would not be fully intended by him, it said. Soviet officials have sought to offer assurances about Sakharovs On June 21, during a Moscow visit by French President Francois Kremlin spokesman Leonid Zamyatin told correspondents that everything is all right with him. Barton Reppert Associated Press Writer A specialist on Soviet abuse of psychiatry said Saturday recent reports indicate the efKremlin has ordered an all-ofort, using drugs and possibly hypnosis, to make physicist Andrei Sakharov repudiate his dissident views. Soviet authorities seem to be set on a course of doing their utmost to try to get a recantation out of him, said Peter Reddaway, a London School of Economics political scientist and author of a study of Soviet imprisonment of dissidents in mental hospitals.

The Iraqis said Friday they inflicted direct and effective hits on two Iraq-Ira- n Holdout Wants To Forget Years on Guam By Kay Tateishi Associated Press Writer TOKYO Shoichi Yokoi, the former Japanese army sergeant who held out for 28 years after Guam fell to the U. S. forces in World War II, says he wants to forget the whole experience. Yokoi, now 68, also says he doesnt want to take part in any celebration marking the 40th anniversary of the American recapture of the Pacific island in a battle that began with a U. S. Marine invasion Jily 21, 1944, and ended the following Aug. 10. That is for military officers, not for the enlisted man, Yokoi said in a telephone interview last week from his home in Nagoya, central Japan. I understand some kind of celebration is being held in Guam for the top brass. I wasnt invited nor am I interested; I was until a couple of years ago, but havent been since. My interest now is only for soldiers and citizens who died in the battle for Guam. They deserve to be remembered. Yokoi, who has been back to Guam 10 times since 1972 when he gave up living like a badger in the jungles, was one of 30 Japanese soldiers who fled into the jungles when American troops recaptured Guam. The others either died or gave up. Yokoi held out in a tunnel-lik- e shelter he dug in the jungle undergrowth, surviving on coconuts, breadfruit, snails, shrimp, frogs and rats. A tailors apprentice before he was drafted into the Japanese Imperial Army in 1942, he made his clothes out of tree bark. He followed the movement of the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross and carved a niche with a knife on a tree trunk every full moon to keep track of time. Yokoi wrote in his 1974 memoirs, Road to Tomorrow, that he was aware of the Japanese surrender on Aug. 15, 1945, from leaflets and newspapers scattered about the island. He said he thought they were American ni'val targets near Kharg, but there was no independent confirmation of that report. The term naval target is often used by Iraqi military spokesmen to refer to oil tankers and bulk carriers. Marine salvage sources in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates said no distress signals were picked up from any vessel near Kharg Friday or Saturday. The tanker war broke out last February when Iraq imposed a sea and air blockade on Kharg and warned shipping companies to stay out of the war zone or risk air attacks. Iraq, trying to cripple Irans economy, have been hitting radius around ships within a Kharg, unilaterally declared by the Baghdad high command as an excluoil-bas- le sion zone. The Iranians retaliated with air strikes against Arab and other oil tankers in neutral waters near the Strait of Hormuz at the southern tip of the Persian Gulf and in locations close to Saudi and Kuwaiti coastlines. Arab states along the gulf began to accelerate collective defense arrangements and seek sophisticated air defense weapons from the United States and the Soviet Union because of the tanker war. The Saudis last May acquired 400 ft Stinger missiles for the defense of sensitive oil areas and territorial waters.

The Council for Democratization, which opposes authoritarian rule in this East Asian nation, found elevators stopped and stairways blocked when they tried to move furniture into rented office quarters Friday night, said the sources. As a confrontation ensued with the landlord, a large crowd gathered in front of the building, according to the sources, who were familiar with the incident but spoke on condition they not be further identified. Police arrived and took nine council members to a nearby station, but told all but one Saturday morning that they could leave, the sources said. Because of the one detention, five council members refused to leave and a council delegation made up of two lawyers, a former national assemblyman and a former general was sent to try to negotiate with police officials, the sources reported. No information on the outcome was available immediately. The nine were taken in after a A formal ceremony inaugurating the council and its steering committee was held Thursday at the new office headquarters but without chairs, desks, tables or other furniture, the sources said. They said trouble with the landlord occurred even though a contract had been signed for office space and rent money had been paid in advance. The government and the police had no comment on the incident. The military-backed regime has not recognized the Council for Democratization. Formation of the council was announced May 18. Members said it would "continue a struggle for democratization in South Korea. Sixty-fopeople, mostly former politicians or former opposition lawmakers, were listed as members of the steering committee.
