A panel of American and Soviet public figures issued a report today suggesting ways to eliminate confrontation in the third world.

Quite suddenly, a number of Soviet figures began voicing extremely conciliatory views.

Others at the table said the Soviet figure was more like 15 percent.

The official Soviet figure for the present Jewish population is about 1.8 million.

According to official Soviet figures, some 24 million peasants disappeared from rural areas but only 12.6 million moved to state jobs.

Soviet figures are not available, but Moscow is known to be far readier to ship weapons than to finance development.

The presence of the two Soviet political figures and their conflicting views underscored a difficult choice the Administration is facing.

Over all these years, he knew many prominent Soviet military and political figures of that period in person.

The official Soviet figure, issued just after the war, listed 48,745 dead and 150,863 wounded.

The future was indeed at stake, since official Soviet figures put the number of starving children in the famine areas at 7,246,317.
