WASHINGTON (AP) —
Carter administration ~
officials are awaiting
what they expect will be
nervous but muted
reaction from the Soviet
Union to normalization of
US. relations with China.

In the short mm, they
are hopeful that nor-
malization will have no

ty.

In the long run, the
rearrangement of in-
ternational order
signalled by President
Carter's decision Friday
to normalize relations
with China could set the
Soviet Union off in any
ane of a number of new
directions.

There was no im-

decision from Moscow on
Saturday and U.S. of:
ficials said they do not
expect one for another
day or two. They sald
they assume. Soviet
forelgn policy strategists
made their basic ad-
justment to the concept of
new American ties with
Peking six years ago,
when then-President
Richard Nixon visited
China.

Bul the U.S. officials
nonetheless aasume that
normalization of U.S,-
Chinese relations will
only exacerbate the
Soviet perception that
they are encircled in East
Asia by China and Japan,
both of which will have
strong ties to the United
States and to each other,
China and Japan signed
treaties of friendship and
economic co-operation
last summer.

Waiting for the storm

U.S. officials believe
the Soviet Union will try
to live with the new Asian
situation ag long as there
is no military alliance
formed between the U.S.
and China. U.S. officials
say they have no intention
af selling arms to the
Chineze.

But they have also
recently sald other
members of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organ-
ization will decide for
themselves whether to
sell defensive arms to the
Chinese. France, Britain
and West Germany have
been negotiating with the
Chinese over possible

sales, ;
Arms sales by the West
would place the Soviet
Union in a bind. The
country already main-
tains 43 military divisions
on the disputed border
with China, U.S. sources
said, A further buildup on

the'border to counter new
weapons from the West
would divert badly
needed resources from
the Soviet civilian
economy.

The Soviet reaction to
the new state of affairs
between the United States
and China probably will
be made clear later this
week in Geneva, Switzer-
land, when U.S. State:
Secretary Cyrus Vance
meets Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
to try to wrap up the
atrategic arms limitation
package and arrange for
a summit meeting. ;

In the long run, U.S.
officials expect the Soviet
Union to continue ites
efforts to find new allies
as a counter to the new
Asian alignment. Some
even expect renewed
Soviet efforts to improve
relations with Japan and
China. ;
