prof. debate war, peace, ICBM's
BY JONATHAN REISKIN
Agreeing that war is at best
distasteful, two experts on the subject
of armed conflict discussed alternative
methods of preserving peace at a
debate Sunday night in Rackham
Auditorium.
Former Admiral Elmo Zumwalt,
Naval chief-of-staff (CNO) from 1970-
74, and Prof. Richard J. Barnet of the
Institute for Policy Studies in
Washington debated weapons spending
and foreign policy for a Viewpoint Lec-
ture Series audience.
ZUMWALT, THE youngest man ever
appointed admiral, defensively
displayed his liberal credentials.
Unlike some of his crustier
predecessors, he pointed out that it was
during his tour as CNO that the Navy
established greater opportunity for
minorities and women and eliminated
many "Mickey Mouse" regulations.
Nuclear and conventional weapons.
superiority and world dominance are
what Zumwalt said were the Soviet
Union's ultimate goals. The admiral
predicted that if the United States'
military remains in its present con-
dition, "We will be a Sweden in your
generation, a Finland in your children's
generation, and a Poland in your gran-
dchildren's generation."
Some of these views were met with
light hissing, but Zumwalt went on to
deliver a chronology supporting his
thesis. "In 1962," said Zumwalt, "the
secretary of defense and the joint chiefs
of staff told President Kennedy that the
U.S. possessed a ten-fold superiority in
strategic nuclear weapons. Therefore,
he issued the strong ultimatum he did
and the Russians backed down."
Zumwalt said that America no longer
has such an advantage, and that decline
is the reason for the present, more
passive, foreign policy. In order to
regain our position of military strength,
Zumwalt recommends that the U.S.
spend two per cent more of the gross
national product per year on defense.
PROF. BARNET countered by
saying that, "No one wins a nuclear
war. Between the initial fallout and the
secondary contamination of soil and
water, everyone loses too much."
Stating that the Soviet Union has
progressed so far since their 1917
Revolution, Barnet theorized that, "It's
true that the Russians are historically
paranoid, but I think it's unfair to say
they want to 'Finlandize' Western
Europe."
Charging that Zumwalt's statistics do
not tell the whole story, Barnet quoted
Mark Twain and pointed out that,
"There are lies, damned lies, and
statistics. What this debate really
comes down to is a discussion on human
nature." The author and professor said
that careless analogies to Munich and
the 1930s are becoming too common and
that cold, warriorism is making a
return.
Barnet also defended his background.
Saying that he was not a dizzy
professor, Barnet opined, "Everything
is not all right and I am worried. The
danger of war comes from one power
worrying if the other will fire first."
Barnet also mentioned the Cuban
missile crisis, but as an example in his
favor. "It is incidents such as these that
increase tension and will lead to war.
That is the true danger, not Admiral
Zumwalt's," concluded Barnet.

Demonstrators protest signing
WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Egypt's
President Anwar Sadat and Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem Begin con-
cluded peace yesterday to applause on
the White House lawn and chants and
jeers from pro-Palestine protesters in a
park across the road.
Hundreds of police, many mounted on
horses and equipped with nightsticks
and gas masks, kept the estimated 2,500
Arab-American demonstrators 300
yards from the signing ceremony.
But the shouting could be heard

return to Egypt the vast Sinai desert
seized in the Six-Day War of 1967. Egypt
agrees, for the first time, to formally
recognize her Jewish neighbor as a
member of the community of nations.
CARTER, IN his speech, called on
the rest of the Arab world to join in the
peace process, and he showered Sadat
and Begin with ringing praise.
"Two leaders who will loom large in
the history of nations - Anwar el-Sadat
and Menachem Begin - have conduc-
ted this campaign with all the courage,
tenacity, brilliance and inspiration of
any generals who ever led men and
machines onto the field of battle," Car-
ter said.
Television carried the ceremony
back to the Middle East, where the oc-
casion was marked , with anger,
hostility and threats - and bombs,
strikes, mass rallies and threats of
reprisal and revenge.
EFFIGIES OF Carter, Sadat and
Begin burned in refugee camps and
Yasser Arafat, leader of Palestinian
refugees, denounced each of them. -
"Let me tell all three of them today,"
Arafat declared, "that I shall not only
burn their fingers, but shall even chop
off their hands."
In Washington, the bells of St. John's
church pealed as the leaders assembled
to formalize peace. Sadat arrived first
for a private meeting with the
President. After Begin's arrival an
hour later, the three leaders lunched
together.
AGREEMENT on the final details -
the question of Israeli access to oil from
wells to be surrendered back to Egypt
- came in a final Sunday night face-to-
face session between Sadat and Begin.
Begin dropped his proposal that the
treaty be signed at two further
ceremonies, in Jerusalem and Cairo.
Instead, he agreed to settle for a one-
day visit next Monday to Cairo.
It will be a return call for the historic
visit of Sadt to Jerusalem on Nov. 19,
1977, which started the peace process
after years of unyielding rhetoric bet-
ween the two countries.
clearly by the vast crowd of dignitaries
at the signing ceremony.
THE PROTEST, organized by
various groups supporting the
Palestine cause, were orderly most of
the time, although at times helmeted
policemen pressed tightly around them
to thwart moves toward the high iron
fencing surrounding the White House.
The protesters gathered in the park
after marching down streets in the cen-
ter of the city chanting slogans.
As President Carter *merged
through the tall doors of the executive
mansion with the two leaders he had
brought together, the protesters could
be heard chanting: "Long live
Palestine!"
AUTHORITIES spared no manpower
to contain the large crowd which filled
Lafayette Park, directly opposite the
White House, to hear the ceremony
over loudspeakers.
Helmeted officers stood almost
shoulder-to-shoulder along the entire
stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue run-
ning in front of the presidential man-
sion.
While the demonstrators were kept at
a distance, police permitted about 3,000
other persons to assemble just across
the street from the White House - thus
forming somewhat of a buffer against
any charge toward the White House
gates.

A2 Jews celebrate peace
(Continued from Page 1)
Credi's enthusiasm toward the peace
treaty. "If it will work it will be so fan-
tastic you can cry. I have more hope
than anyone because I'm not Jewish or
Arab," said Corinne Schat, a recent
graduate of Ann Arbor's Huron High.
Around campus, students had mixed
reactions to the treaty signing between
Israel and Egypt. "I don't think
anything will be resolved," said. LSA
'junior Clyde Weiss. "The U.S. has been
helping too many people for too long. I
don't think it's any of the U.S.'s
business."
"It bought some time. The whole
situation is the matter of someone put-
ting out goodwill, Sadat and Begin have
done this," LSA sophomore Mary Ann
Cummings said. "The Palestinians
have been shafted from every state in
the Middle East. Israel is being made
the scapegoat."
VICTOR KAY, ad hoc coordinator of
events for the Union of Student for
Israel and one of the sponsors of the
party, felt that efforts by Jewish and
Arab students on campus should at
least equal the endeavors of Begin and
Sadat.
"We must have better com-
munication and work together and
share in the future through
cooperation," he said.
During the "peace party's"
festivities, Credi shared the concern of
many supporters of the peace pact. The
lack of a comprehensive peace in-
cluding all Arab states was seen as a
problem. "It's very strange to see
Israelis rejoicing on the one side and
the Egyptians not rejoicing on the other
side due to solidarity of the Arab
world," she said.
