Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, May 14, 1977 Carter faces NA TO summit I)NJ)ON ' - -President Carter attendis a North Atlantic all1once summit meeting today that will deal with a new topic -cii defense - as well as the sinal concerns of military ,o -ength and coordination. Joseph tans, the Dutch.secre- scirv general of the North At- lintic Treaty Organization, NATO, told a news conference yesterday the Western allies have been "disagreeably im- pressed" by the Soviet Union's new program of building bomb shelters and otherwise bolster- ing defense of the populace against nuclear attack. The West has lagged behind in civil defense preparations, Lans said. SOME NATO analysts find the Soviet civil defense program ominous. They speculate the Kremlin might be emboldened in its dealings with the West if it can guaranatee a high sur- vival rate for its civilian popu- lation in the event of nuclear at- tack. Strong civil defense might encourage the Soviets to try a first nuclear strike, according to this theory. Without providing details, Luns said he expected Carter in his speech at the NATO con- ference to offer proposals "to strengthen the military cohe- sion, effectiveness and strength" of the alliance. LUNS SAID the United States would be taking into account the continuing Soviet military buildup and expects its Euro- pean allies to do the same. But neither he nor U. S. officials have given any details of the proposals. Alliance members have squab- bled recently over two major programs aimed at standardiz- ing weapons systems. The U. S. military has balked at allowing West German co- production of a new main Bat- tle tank for NATO forces, and Britain has withdrawn its sup- port for a proposed new NATO air defense system consisting of U. S. - made radar and cot- mand planes. Carter "The coach likes me heavy;melbuttI ilik me light:' (William Webb Ellis, rugby legend) LUNS SAID Carters propos- als would be taken up in more detail in Brussels, Belgium, next week at a meeting of NATO defense ministers, in- cluding U. S. Defense Secre- tary Harold Brown. Fourteen heads of state and government are scheduled to attend the two-day meeting of the 15-nation alliance that be- gins today in Lancaster House, a London conference hall. Only' President Valery Gis- card d'Estaing of France will be missing. To avoid charges at home of subservience to the United States, Giscard d'Estaing generally keeps NATO at arm's length. Foreign Minister Louis de Guiringaud will represent him. Luns said that on Wednesday NATO foreign ministers will dis- cuss the Middle East and East- West issues, including next month's meeting in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, on the 1975 Helsin- ski agreements. The Belgrade meeting is to review progress made in carrying out human rights and other provisions of the Helsinki accords. House dismisses Pierce WASHINGTON (UPI) - The House yesterday voted to dis- miss election challenges brought against Carl Pursell (R-Mich.) and three other members of the 95th Congress. The House dismissed chal- lenges brought against the elec- tions of Pursell and Reps. Ab- ner Mikva (D-Ill.), Richard -Kelly (R-Fla.), and Rep. Bob Gammage (D-Tex.). Democrat Edward Pierce, of Ann Arbor, challenged Pursell's election after the Plymouth Republican beat Pierce in the November election. The two ran for the Congressional seat given up by Marvin Esch, who mounted an unsuccessful cam- paign for the U. S. Senate. The House defeated Pierce's challenge 371 to 8.
