Gorbachev said in his first address to the 159-nation General Assembly. He suggested the United Nations deploy a peacekeeping force to Afghanistan to oversee the with drawal of Soviet soldiers and the transition to a broad-based govern ment. He also called for a Jan. 1 cease-fire in the country, v In his hour-long address, the first by a Soviet president in 28 years, Gorbachev covered a range of topics 1 and extolled peaceful co-existence in the world. He urged an end to Cold War animosities. Nortlh ends From Associated Prats reports WASHINGTON Former White House aide Oliver North on Wednesday dropped efforts to dis close a quarter of the 40,000 pages of classified documents he wants to use to defend criminal charges arising ; from the Iran-Contra affair. Defense lawyers filed a brief statement that they were withdrawing .10,000 pages of CIA intelligence cables on Nicaragua that were listed in North's Nov. 14 notice of govern ment secrets he wants to reveal in a public trial. The monthly intelligence cables covered a three-year period from January 1984 through December 1986, a month after the Iran-Contra affair became known and North was dismissed from his job at the National Security Council.

Asked if he pressed Reagan for anything in return for trimming the Soviet military. Gorbachev said: "In developing our relations we can work only together so we do hope that the United States and the Europeans will work with us and will take certain steps." But the session was "not a nego tiating meeting, Oorbachev said, adding he was happy to join Reagan and Bush in "this get-together. It was the fifth meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev, who was in Washington a year ago to sign a treaty reducing intermediate and medium- range missiles. 44 We are at the birth of a new model of ensuring security not through the buildup of arms . . . but to the contrary, through their reduction on the basis of compromise," Gorbachev said. Besides detailing troop reduction, Gorbachev outlined a number of proposals on a broad array of topics attempt to release documents to bar the defense from using any secret documents as evidence. Walsh accused the defense of listing a large number of irrelevant documents "to overwhelm the court's and the government's abilities to conduct proceedings" under the Classified Information Procedures Act. He specifically criticized North's listing of "large swatches of CIA cables concerning Nicaragua that bear only the most tangential relation to the subject matter of the case." He specifically criticized North's proposal to disclose "large swatches of CIA cables concerning Nicaragua that bear only the most tangential relation to the subject matter of the case." North's statement was filed as U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell con tinued closed hearings into the use of secret documents at trial. The hearings began last week.

He said, for instance, the Soviet Union is ready to impose a mora torium of up to a century on debt servicing by poor countries and, in some cases, write off the debts. He suggested an international space station monitor the environ ment, and discussed having the International Court of Justice in The Hague arbitrate human rights cases. At home, he said, "Soviet demo cracy will be placed on a solid norma tive basis," with "elasnost," or openness, and freedom of conscience, enshnned in law. Members of the General Assembly greeted Gorbachev with sustained applause at the end of his 26-page speech, but they did not give him a standing ovation. General Assembly President Dante Caputo, the foreign minister of Argentina, praised Gorbachev's address as a ''very important speech, with specific proposals on disarma- ment, regional conflicts, development and ecology." He said it contained "a new philosophical approach in Soviet foreign policy." Gesell has not ruled on secrecy issues and must decide if classified material North wants to disclose is needed for his defense. President Reagan said last week he would allow virtually none of the documents to be disclosed in open court. If Gesell decides North cannot get a fair trial wthout disclosing some documents, he could dismiss the central charge that the former pre sidential aide conspired to illegally divert U.S.-Iran arms-sale proceeds to the Nicaraguan rebels. To foreclose North's need to disclose government secrets, Walsh has narrowed the focus of allegations against the former presidential aide. On Tuesday, he filed a detailed statement of North's "wholly legiti mate" efforts to try to release Amer ican hostages in the Middle East.

"Today I can report to you that the Soviet Union has taken a decision to reduce its armed forces," he said. "Within the next two years their numerical strength will be reduced by 500,000 men. The numbers of con ventional armaments will also be substantially reduced. This will be done unilaterally, without relation to (talks on conventional disarmament) in Vienna," he said. By agreement with the Warsaw Pact allies, the Soviet Union will withdraw and disband six tank divisions from East Germany, Czech oslovakia and Hungary by 1991. Altogether; he said, Soviet forces stationed in those three countries will be reduced by 50,000 men. Some 5,000 tanks will also be slashed, he said. The Soviet Union will also reor ganize Soviet divisions in Eastern Europe so they are "clearly defensive." ment that could evidence at trial. be introduced as The Reagan administration, seek ing to protect well-guarded secrets about intelligence operations, is particularly sensitive about revealing any details about efforts to free the hostages. Walsh argues that North and his co-defendants corrupted President Reagan's arms-for-hostage initiatives by diverting proceeds to the Nicara guan rebels. Activist Jacobs goes after kidnapping char From Associated Press reports LUMBERTON Indian activist Timothy Jacobs remained in hiding Wednesday after he and fellow activist Eddie Hatcher were indicted on state kidnapping charges in the takeover of a newspaper office. "We are continuing to try to locate him," said Cuyler Windham, assistant director for the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). "Hopefully, he will turn himself in, or well hear from him or his attorneys." But Jacobs, in a telephone call to a Raleigh television station Tuesday night, said he was hiding in New York and would not return to North Carolina. "I'm really upset about it. I'm sick upset about it," Jacobs told WRAL TV. "I was tried before in federal court for the same charges except they were different wording.

The lawyer, Ismail Ayob, said the 70-year-old Mandela had been transferred from the Constantia burg Clinic to the Victor Verster Prison in Taarl, a suburb of Capetown. Authorities said last month that Mandela would not be returned to prison when he completed his recovery from tuberculosis at the hospital. Oil reserve shown vulnerable WASHINGTON The Stra tegic Petroleum Reserve, this country's first line of defense against a foreign oil embargo, is vulnerable to a terrorist attack, congressional investigators and Energy Department officials said Wednesday. "Improvements are needed in the (reserve) security program," Keith Fultz of the congressional General Accounting Office told the House Government Opera tions subcommittee on environ ment, energy and natural resources. Fultz said a mock terrorist attack on the 550-million-barrel reserve in Louisiana and Texas last year symbolically damaged or destroyed facilities vital to recov ering the oil from underground caverns during an embargo. The terrorist team, put together by a contractor hired by the department, was able to get plans and blueprints of the reserve's for hostage taking; that didn't apply. So the people down there that were behind these charges . . . they were upset. "They lost the battle," Jacobs said, "The war's not over with yet. That's the way I look at it." Jacobs, 20, and Hatcher, 3 1, were indicted by a special session of the Robeson County grand jury Tuesday on 14 counts of second-degree kid- napping. 1 ne cnarges stem irom tne Feb. 1 takeover of The Robesonian newspaper in Lumberton. A federal jury Oct. 14 acquitted the two Tuscarora Indians of federal hostage-taking and firearms charges, despite their admissions that they sawed off two shotguns and held up to 20 people hostage at the newspaper for 10 hours. The siege ended after Gov. Jim Martin agreed to form a state task force to investigate their charges of official corruotion and law enforce ment involvement in drug trafficking, The two Indians met only once with the task force, which said there was little evidence to substantiate their charges.
