By Philip Taubman
Philip Taubman
That great Washington institution, the news conference, has come of age here in Moscow, complete with many a free-wheeling Washington twist, but not too many. With increasing frequency, Soviet leaders are fielding questions from reporters before a battery of television cameras, apparently hoping, much like their American counterparts, that such sessions will help promote and clarify the Government's policies.

International Moscow would halt building a radar in central Siberia in return for Washington's forgoing plans to modernize radars in Britain and Greenland, according to American and Soviet officials. Washington says the Siberian installation is an early warning radar and violates the Antiballistic Missile Treaty of 1972. Moscow contends that the radar is for space tracking and is allowable. [Page A1, Column 6.] King Hussein and Yasir Arafat met for two and a half hours at the Jordanian monarch's palace over strains in their uneasy alliance. The meeting broke up apparently without a resolution, and more meetings between the King and the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization were scheduled for today. [A1:4-5.]

Robert Trumbull
A seven-year-old libel case, in which the President of the world's smallest and richest republic sued America's largest newspaper chain for $40 million, went to the jury in Federal District Court here today. President Hammer DeRoburt of Nauru, a tiny Pacific island state whose extensive phosphate deposits have given its 5,000 or so citizens the highest per capita income in the world, alleges in the suit that he was defamed by two articles published in 1978 by The Pacific Daily News, on Guam, one of 86 newspapers owned by the Gannett Company of Rochester, N.Y.

SICILIANS WON'T PURSUE INQUIRY ON U.S. TROOPS
Date: 29 October 1985

A Sicilian prosecutor said today that there were no grounds for a formal investigation of the behavior of United States soldiers after the interception of an Egyptian plane carrying the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro. Sicilian prosecutors let it be known over the weekend that they were looking into possible crimes committed by United States military forces during a standoff with Italian soldiers at Sigonella Air Base near Catania, Sicily, on the night of Oct. 10. But Dolcino Favi, the assistant prosecutor in Syracuse, Sicily, said by telephone that a study of an exhaustive police account of the 22 hours the Egyptian plane was on the ground at Sigonella found no cause to continue inquiries. ''Nothing emerged that would mandate a further urgent investigation,'' Mr. Favi said.

PENTAGON CITES SAFETY CONCERN IN CAMPAIGN FOR NERVE GAS FUNDS
Date: 29 October 1985
By Charles Mohr, Special To the New York Times
Charles Mohr
The Pentagon said today that leaks had been detected in ''hundreds'' of poison gas weapons stored at military depots in eight states and that, although the leaks had caused no casualties, they constituted a ''safety concern.'' Dr. Thomas J. Welch, the assistant for chemical warfare to the Secretary of Defense, also said that it was ''not tolerable'' that the Soviet Union could deploy chemical weapons over a battlefield hundreds of miles deep while the United States would be confined to artillery that can lob nerve gas shells only a few miles into an ememy's lines. These statements and the publication of a new edition of a Pentagon booklet on the ''Soviet Chemical Weapons Threat'' were meant to encourage Congress to restore $163.5 million in funds to produce a new generation of nerve gas weapons. The House Appropriations Committee deleted the money from the 1986 appropriation bill last week.

A space shuttle mission conducted primarily by West German scientists is set for launching here at noon Wednesday, and both American and German space officials emphasize the flight's importance as a step toward a major European role in the space station being planned for the 1990's. Countdown preparations for the shuttle Challenger and its German scientific cargo continued to proceed smoothly today. But rainstorms spawned by Hurricane Juan threatened to hit the Kennedy Space Center. Meteorologists said they expected the rain to be sporadic, giving launching crews a chance to get the mission under way in the planned three-hour liftoff ''window.''
