Soviet nuclear sub catches fire at sea By ANDREW ROSENTHAL Associated Pres5 Writer

MOSCOW (AP) - A fire on a Soviet nuclear submarine east of Bermuda killed three people, Tass said Saturday, a day after the blaze began. It said the ship was carrying ballist~c missiles but there was no danger of a nuclear explosion or contamination.

The three-paragraph report by the official Soviet news agency did not say if the fil'e was out or if the missiles had nuclear warheads. Tass said the stricken vessel was being llssisted by other Soviet ships.

White House spokesman Roman Popaduik said in Washington: "We believe nuclear weapons are on board." He said the United States "has of­fered assistance to the Soviets and stands ready to assist as required."

State Department spokeman Bruce Anunerman said Gorbachev sent a message to Reagan early Saturday through the U.S. Embassy in Moscow reporting the fire and caslWlties and giving the ship's location. "We com­mend the quick notification of the incident," he said.

But a Pentagon official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Washington actually learned of the accident "several hours earlier." He refused to say how. .

"I can't go into details, but let's just say they (the Soviet crew) made one hell of a lot of noise underwater with their fire alarm," added a Navy official who also requested anonymity.

The Soviets rarely report accidents involving their military ships. The speedy announcement was in sharp contrast to the Kremlin's tbree-day delay in reporting the April 26 explosion and fire at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Ukraine that eventually killed at least 31 people.

Tass said the fire broke out Friday morning in an unspecified compartment when the submarine was about 620 miles northeast of Bermuda.

Col. Marvin Braman, a Pentagon spokesman, pinpointed the submarine's position Saturday at 552 miles east of Bermuda' and 1,196 miles east of Cape

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) ­Icelandic officials confirmed Saturday that President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev are likely to meet at the Hofdi, a picturesque Reykjavik bayside house said to be haunted by the ghost of a drowned woman.

Foreign Ministry spokesman t I Sveinn Eldon srud a final decision

had not been made, but that neither side had voiced any objections to the HofdI, a two-story white (:lapboard house.

The Hofdi, overlooking Reykjavik

Bay with a panoramic view of the volcanic mountains. seems to meet the two leaders' requirements for a cozy place for their private discussions Oct. 11-12.

It was open to visitors until Saturday, when a uniformed policeman was posted inside and barred unauthorized visitors.

A senior Icelandic government source said the Saga Hotel, Iceland's initial preference for the meetings, now looked unlikely.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said Gorbachev would stay at the Saga, but added that the leaders preferred the Hofdi.

It was not clear if Reagan and Gorbachev would have any formal meeting involving large delegations from each side. The precise agenda for the talks has not been released, but is expected Monday.

White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Friday the emphasis in Iceland would be on face-to-face discussions between the two leaders, ~ather than the extensive talks among aides which have charac­terized previous, full-fledged summits.

He completed his medical education at the University of Pennsylvania and was awarded his M.D. degree iIi 1936. He served as rotating intern at the Protestant Episcopal Hospital in Philadelphia from 1936 through 1938, and was chief resident at the hospital during 1938-1939.
