WASHINGTON-The Soviet Union
spent $140 billion on its armed forces in
1977, accounting for almost a third of,
global military spending for that year,
according to a government report
released yesterday.
The report, prepared by the U.S.
Arms Control'and Disarmament Agen-
- cy (ACDA), said the United States was
second with outlays of $101 billion.
IT ALSO SHOWS that U.S. military
expenditures declined slightly in terms
of constant dollars between 1973 and
1977 while Soviet spending was in-
creasing about 3 per cent a year in the
same period.
The two superpowers accounted for
over half of the global military spen-
ding total of $434 billion in 1977, the
report said.
China was third with $35 billion and
was followed by West Germany, $16.3
billion, and France, $14.8 billion.
THE REPORT SAID the global total
"continues the gradual upward trend
even after accounting for price in-
creases." Between 1968 and 1977, world
military expenditures increased by 15
per cent, it said.'
The NATO and Warsaw Pact allian-
ces spent almost equal amounts for
their armed forces, but the burden was
greater for the Warsaw Pact states, the
study said.
While NATO's outlays totaled $164.7
billion or 4.5 per cent of NATO's gross
national product, the report said the
Warsaw Pact nations spent $163 billion,
equal to 11.7 per cent of their GNP.
BETWEEN 1968 and 1977, arms ex-
ports doubled in real terms and in-
creased 7 per cent to $16.7 billion from
1976 to 1977, the report said.
U.S. exports, it said, amounted to $6.9
billion in 1977 while the Soviet Union
exported $5.2 billion.
Iran was the leading importer, taking

he has had to eject people trying to sell

Kim said the biggest problem is the
young people who loiter on the sidewalk
in the doorway of his arcade.
Unlike Kim, owners of other local
pinball establishments have questioned
the intent of the proposed ordinance.
DAVE MAURER, owner of Mickey

Despite the loitering problem on

was unnecessary because of existing
city ordinances.

weaponry.
COMMENTING ON the report, AC-
DA Director George Seignious said the
increases in military spending heighten
the prospect of nuclear confrontaton
and "pose a threat to the security and
stability of all nations."
Another report released yesterday by
a different group said that worldwide
military spending reached a record
$425 billion in 1977 and increased at a
rate faster than world inflation for the
seventh consecutive year.
The report, prepared by Ruth Leger
Sivard, a former ACDA official, said
the 400 per cent rise since 1960.in
