Second Thoughts
On 'Star Wars', -
I was distressed that you saw

fit to publish the sneering and
vicious letter of Dr. Richard J.
Rosenbluth (0p-Ed, Dec. 27),
who urges that we have com-
plete faith and trust in the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff to save us from nuclear de-
struction. Has he forgotten that
it was our commander-in-chief,
Ronald Reagan, when he
thought the nation Was not 'lis-
tening, said, "I have declared
the abolition of the Soviet Un-
ion; the bombing starts in five
minutes."?
Your cancer specialist reiter-
ates his faith in "Star Wars" —
the strategic defense. Let him
read the December Scientific
American by Herbert Lin:
"What some call a 'Star Wars'
defense could depend upon com-
puters to control an unpreceden-
teclly complex array of weapons
systems. Developing reliable
software for such a defense may
be impossible."
Let him also read the publica-
tion of the Center for Defense
Information, directed by Rear
Admiral (Ret.) Gene R. LaRoc-
que, pointing out that military
spending is the cause of the na=
tional budget deficit. In his own
specialty of cancer Dr.
Rosenbluth is aware of the shor-
tage of research funds and of the
closing of hospital beds, the cuts
in payments to hospitals and the
growing attitude of "let the pa-
tient die at home because the
cost of treatment exceeds the
chance, of cure."
Our medical care, once the
best in the world, is deteriorat-
ing for lack of the funds being
spent on war preparation.
If such an inpenetrable de-
fense were ever possible, the
"enemy" would assume that it
was to permit the destruction of
their country with impunity
from retaliation, and would be
tempted to launch a first strike.
This result of our plan to, abro-
gate the treaty forbidding the
development of antiballistic
missiles would thus result in
mutual assured destruction.

IT'S TRUE!
There really is an Orthodox
shul in Farmington Hills.

. Your article on Conservative
Jewish women (Jan. 3) was ex-

rection, however.
. :Ida Katz was called up to the
bimah for an aliyah (her first):
One is not called up to..the
bimah to recite Kaddish: She
was given the honor of an
aliyah because she had come to
services to observe .the , yahrzeit

one recites, the Kaddisk with
others in the minyan.
