Carr, a member of the House Armed Services Committee and one of twelve advisors from that chamber to the SALT delegation, told the group during an afternoon session that he is the HUMAN RIGHTS ON TRIAL Events of recent weeks-The conviction of Armenian Physicist Yuri Orlov to 12 years of exile and hard labor, the arrest of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Andrei Sakharov-prove that the Soviet government intends to squelch all self- expression which is counter to official policy.

"The Armed Services Committee has hung military ornaments on the Christmas tree until it almost topples over from the weight of money," said Carr of the budget. The Democrat criticized legislators for wasting money, citing what he called "the notion that you can defend a country just by throwing dollars at the Soviets who are presumably paddling up the Potomac." Carr agreed with Singer that there has been "a scare campaign" about the chances of aggression on the part of the Soviet Union against the West. PURSELL SAID the last 30 years of arms escalation represent a failure on thepart of the world's leaders. He noted that he has opposed the neutron bomb, B-1 bomber, and the Trident submarine system proposed by the Navy. When asked "Why is the post- Vietnam Congress so hawkish?" Carr disagreed with the premise, saying, "The Congress is willing to hold the line (on military spending)." Pursell, however, said he felt Congress is in- clined to pro-military proposals and pointed to the recent defeat of House Resolution 195, which called for a $4.8 billion reduction in the defense budget. He said the SALT II talks have made Congress afraid of giving up anything which might be negotiable later. When questioned, Carr said the Mideast jet sales "should have been disapproved," but said he did not agree that it is in all cases wrong to sell military equipment to both sides in an area of conflict. DURING AN interview following the forum, Carr defended his support for the neutron bomb. He said, "There is no foundation in fact" for the argument that the intense radiation bomb is more likely to be used because of its limited target and precision. He emphasized that since it is a nuclear weapon there will be an automatic disinclination to use it. During the question period Carr said the number of neutron bombs, if approved, would be "in the tens." 'Following Singer's morning address, the group broke up into workshops for the late morning and early afternoon. In the session called "How Much Defense is Really Enough?" a slide show by the Mobilization for Survival organization was shown. "If (people through history) could conceive of a weapon, they always built it," said a voice accompanying the slides depic- ting warfare, "If they could build a weapon, they always used it." The forum was held to bring attention to the arms issue which will be discussed at the U.N. beginning today. Wespecialize in ladies's and children's hairstyling DASCOLA STYLISTS " 615 E.
