International Arms control talks in Moscow this week between American and Soviet officials are intended to determine whether prospects for control were advanced by a recent exchange of proposals by Mikhail S. Gorbachev and President Reagan, Western diplomats said. The American officials, led by Paul H. Nitze, arms adviser to Secretary of State George P. Shultz, arrived in Moscow.

The National Security Council staff has prepared a directive providing for stronger enforcement of the embargo imposed in the early 1960's, which prohibits a broad range of financial transactions with Cuba. The purpose of the new rules is to deny Cuba hard currency and American goods it now gets by circumventing the embargo. [ A1:2. ]

ONE of the most talked about events on Wall Street last week was something that did not take place. Two top-ranking BankAmerica officials unexpectedly canceled a meeting with financial analysts, and this led to widespread speculation, and headlines, that the troubled financial institution was about to be acquired.

WICKES SETS BID FOR OWENS
Date: 12 August 1986

The Wickes Companies, rebuffed in a friendly takeover overture for the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, said today that it would begin a $2.1 billion hostile tender offer Tuesday for the 91.5 percent of the company it does not already own.
