Admiral. The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 27, 1979--Page 9 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.

I/ 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 Israel, Egypt sign treaty Continued from Page 1 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.

"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.
