Soviets declare
human rights
debate useless

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)-The
Soviet Union told the 35-nation
Belgrade conference yesterday debate
on human rights is irrelevant until
people can live free from the threat of
military attack.
"Can we seriously speak about the
human rights and leave men exposed to
the effect of such weapons? Such
weapons deny a primordial right, the
right to live," said Soviet delegate Yuli
Vorontsov, the first speaker at the start
of the conference's closed session.
VORONTSOV restated a Soviet
proposal to freeze existing military
alliances and ban "first use" of nuclear
weapons. The initiative was im-
mediately rebuffed by several Western
delegations.
Representatives from France,
Britain, Holland, Norway and Canada
said the disarmament issue should be
considered at another forum and not at
the current meeting to review im-
plementation of the 1975 Helsinki ac-
cords on East-West security and
cooperation.
The U.S. delegation is scheduled to
make its address to the closed session
today. Spokesman Tom Reston said the
United States was surprised by the
length of the 43-minute Soviet speech.
Delegations had been asked to hold
their addresses to 10 minutes.
"WE DO NOT consider this the right
place to raise questions of disar-
mament," Reston said. "We have no
plans at the moment to reply to the,
Soviet speech."
He added, however, that the United
States would soon broach "increasingly
specific cases of human rights
violations.'
So far at the conference, which
opened Oct. 4, no nation has named

specific cases of human righti
violations. Last Thursday, the Unitec
States made veiled references tc
jailings in the Soviet Union, travel
restrictions in Romania and
repressions in Czechoslovakia.
U.S. AMBASSADOR Arthur Gold-
berg, head of the American delegation,
said Saturday he plans to conducta
point-by-point discussion of the accords
starting with a "full review" of human
rights violations in Soviet-bloc coun-
tries.
In a related development, Goldberg
presented a letter of protest to Milord
Pesic, the Yugoslav ambassador to thb
conference, deploring the detention ani
expulsion from Belgrade of alt
American last week.
Olgerts Pavlouskis of Bethesda, M&
sought to speak with Goldberg n
human rights violations in behalf of the
World Federation of Free Latviai,
whose territory was annexed to ti
Soviet Union during World War II.
THERE WAS no immediate response
from Pesic.
Earlier yesterday, Goldberg and fa
heads of the 34 other' delegations were
received by 85-year-old President Tit
who engaged in animated conversatien
with most of the representatives. .
Tito voiced optimism about the out-
come of the conference and said he was
certain the meeting would terminat
successfully "the way it was id
Helsinki" in 1975.
Before meeting with Tito, Goldberg
and Rep. Dante Fascell (D-Fla.), vice
chairman of the U.S. delegation, visitedi
Novo Groblje cemetery in dowitovifi
Belgrade. They laid flowers on tle
grave marked for "those who fell in ov!
cupied Belgrade" in respect to Tito and
the partisans he led for the liberationtof
Yugoslavia from Nazi occupation.

across the stream."
Former Counidlnan Robert Henry,
Belcher's attorney, called Gracs's'ac-
cusations "A bunch of eyewash."
"THE REAL QUESTION is whether
or not anyone should ever be forced to
reveal their votes, whether they were
illegal or not. Anything else just clouds
the issue," Henry said.
Henry has asserted in the trial that
because the voters acted illegally, they
forfeited their right to keep their votes
a secret.
"It's an important question and I'd
just as soon see the Court of Appeals or
even the Supreme C ourt review this,"
said Henry.
One of Grace's major concerns with
having the voters tell is what he calls
"the vice inherent in the system."
"If a person is devoted enough to go
out and vote for a candidate, wouldn't
he then be devoted enough to make his
vote count twice by saying he voted for
the other person?" Grace said. "If he
voted for Belcher, he could help him by
saying that he voted for Wheeler,
because then Wheeler would lose ooge
vote - and there's no way we could
ever tell for sure."
