Following are excerpts from Secretary of State George P. Shultz's press conference in Geneva yesterday, as transcribed by The New York Times through the facilities of ABC News. Mr. Shultz began by reading the communique issued by the two sides. OPENING STATEMENT While the statement speaks for itself, I would like to give you my own views on what has been accomplished during these two days of meetings. From our perspective, these meetings represent an important beginning. We can't be sure where these negotiations will lead and, clearly, we have a long road ahead of us. There are many tough and complicated issues still to be resolved, but we have here in Geneva agreed on the objectives for new negotiations on nuclear and space arms. They have also agreed that these negotiations will be conducted by a delegation from each side divided into three groups. We came to Geneva with high hopes but realistic expectations. Our previous exchanges had confirmed that we were in general agreement that the problems of nuclear and space arms are interrelated and that both sides attach priority to achieving radical reductions in nuclear weapons as a first step toward their complete elimination.

Prime Minister Shimon Peres told Parliament today that he had personally authorized a briefing and a statement by the Cabinet secretary confirming that Ethiopian Jews were being airlifted to Israel. The publicity is believed to be responsible for the suspension of the covert operation, which was said to have brought 7,000 people from the Sudan to Israel. About 4,000 other Jews are said to remain in camps abroad, and 6,000 to 8,000 in Ethiopia.

As talks begin in Geneva, the American public is deeply skeptical that President Reagan will achieve an arms agreement with the Soviet Union during his second term, although it backs his handling of relations with Moscow and voices confidence that he wants an agreement, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News survey. More broadly, the poll reveals that the public's fear of nuclear war has diminished somewhat over the last four years and that more people now believe that the two superpowers are roughly equal than held such a view in 1981. In addition, the public voices broad doubts that adding more nuclear weapons will help either side. The survey, taken by telephone among 1,525 Americans from Jan. 2-4, indicates that in spite of the wide publicity being given to the current arms talks in Geneva, public expectations are modest. It found that only a tiny fraction expects the Geneva sessions to produce more than arrangements for further negotiations. Over the longer run, moreover, only one-fourth of the public believes an arms agreement will be achieved within four years.

The arms control talks in Geneva provide the first major news story of 1985. What are the prospects that the news will be happy? Not very good. At best, the Shultz-Gromyko meeting is only the first in a long series of discussions about holding future talks. In the meantime, both sides will go on amassing ominous new nuclear ar senals. America is building about five or six nuclear weapons each day to satisfy plans for 17,000 new nuclear weapons by 1992. It is clear that the Soviet Union will keep pace. Both sides are building new strategic missiles, intermediate-range missiles, cruise missiles, bombers, submarines and battlefield weapons, We are therefore in danger of witnessing a replay of the 1970's. America and the Soviet Union actually concluded 10 arms control agreements in that decade. In the same period, America added 6,056 weapons to its strategic arsenal aimed at the Soviet Union while the Russians added 3,903 strategic weapons aimed at us. It is clear that both sides built far faster than they talked. Another problem is that time is running out. Two events will occur next September that make it imperative that there be some progress on arms control soon. First, the Alaska, our seventh Trident submarine will go on sea trials. This event will put America over the SALT II limit of 1,200

Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko opened the first significant Soviet-American arms talks in 13 months today. They talked for seven hours, first at a morning session at the Soviet mission here, then in the afternoon at the United States mission. Reagan Administration officials said the discussions, which are aimed at devising a format for future negotiations covering both nuclear arsenals and space weapons, began with the two sides outlining ideas for future arms control negotiations. 3-Stage Approach by Shultz The officials described Mr. Shultz's presentation as a three-stage approach. They said he called for deep cuts in offensive nuclear forces, followed by the introduction of defensive systems to protect retaliatory forces, and finally discussed the possibilities for space-based defense of populations.

A Soviet scientific report says that the space-based defense system proposed by President Reagan would disturb the strategic balance, set off a chain reaction of countermeasures and ultimately make nuclear war more possible. The 42-page report, obtained from Soviet sources, says much of the so- called ''Star Wars'' defense system appears technically feasible, though vulnerable and immensely costly. It says that the testing and deployment of even parts of the system could complicate the prospects for future arms accords. Mr. Reagan has said that the plan, known as the Strategic Defense Initiative, is aimed canceling out the threat of offensive missiles and thus making nuclear war obsolete. The program is a prime concern of the Soviet Union at the talks in Geneva between Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko.

At the end of seven hours of talks today between Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, a notice was chalked on the blackboard at the overflowing American press center here: ''Official: No Briefing.'' Mr. Shultz is still expected to convene a news conference on Tuesday, after the discussions are scheduled to end and after a communique has been issued. But this was the first time in the two and a half years that Mr. Shultz and Mr. Gromyko have been meeting in such places as New York, Washington, Madrid and Stockholm that Mr. Shultz or an aide had not promptly and publicly given the American version of what had happened. The difference this time, according to one American aide, pressed for an explanation, was that ''this time we're seeking results, and not propaganda points.''
