SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1984 International American-Soviet ''mutual restraint'' in such areas as the deployment of new nuclear missiles in Europe would be an appropriate item for discussion when arms control talks are renewed, the Reagan Administration said. A spokesman for President Reagan made the comment in response to reports that the Administration had already decided to slow the rate of deployment of the Pershing 2, one of two types of medium-range missiles that are now being installed in Western Europe. (Page 1, Column 6.) Fighting in Panmunjom, the truce area separating North and South Korea, broke out between North Korean troops and United Nations Command soldiers over an apparent defection by a Soviet citizen. At least two North Korean soldiers and one South Korean were reported killed and an American soldier was wounded. It was the most serious incident in the truce area in eight years. (1:4.)
