Page 12-Tuesday, October 11, 1977-The Michigan Daily 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. Election dispute halted for row (Continued from Page 1) weren't ready to defend," he said. "It's like changing horses after you get LE. *5% TO 40% OFF!',, 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." CLOSED WED.
