Page 10-Thursday, April 9, 1981-The Michigan Daily Soviets say shuttle may lead to Cosmic arms race MOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet Union, which once warmly praised American space missions, has taken a hostile at- titude to the U.S. space shuttle and is warning that the program may lead to a cosmic arms race. Soviet space officials and the state-controlled news media are portraying tomorrow's maiden flight of the space shuttle Columbia as the start of a new "militarist and chauvinistic effort" by America to blackmail the world with "super- weapons." OFFICIAL commentaries indicate Moscow is determined to counter whatever military advantages the shuttle brings America. Despite official denials, there are some indications the Kremlin has already started its own shuttle program. Lt. Gen. Vladimir Shatalov, the chief of the Soviet cosmonaut training, attacked the possible military uses of the American shuttle at a Moscow news conference Wed- nesday. "Of course, if the United States and the Pentagon leaders take this road, it will be a great tragedy for the entire world," Shatalov said. "It will mean a new spiral in the arms race, and certainly will bring the United States nothing, no advan- tages, except new enormous, colossal expenditures and more international tension." U.S. OFFICIALS say the shuttle is primarily a civilian research craft, but it also is expected to be used for putting spy satellites in orbit and for other military missions. The Pentagon has "reserved" for its use more than one-third of the shuttle flights planned by late 1986. The launching of the Columbia comes as the Soviets are waging a massive propaganda campaign against the Reagan administration, a campaign designed to make America's leaders appear bent on world domination through military strength. One thing the U.S. space shuttle can do that current Soviet programs cannot is to capture an enemy satellite and bring it back to Earth.

CLINTON READING FROM THEIR WORKS THURSDAY, APRIL 9 at 7:30 pm ADMISSION: FREE GUILD HOUSE 802 Monroe 662-5189 WASHINGTON (AP)-House Democrats labeled President Reagan's tax-cut proposals "the fiscal equivalent of faith in a free lunch" yesterday and said the spending cuts he wants would hurt poor and middle-income Americans. Renewing ,their attack on Reagan's economic program in an unusual eight- page statement of "Democratic economic principles," party members declared their willingness to back an ef- fort to restrain federal spending, provide tax relief and reduce the size of government. BUT THE statement, approved by voice vote after a closed-door session of the party caucus, took issue with the specifics of the Reagan approach and said Democrats would reject a program "that puts the main burden of fighting inflation on the backs of the middle and low income workers while providing unprecedented benefits for the privileged few." On taxes, the statement said belief that the administration's three-year tax cut plan will stimulate the economy without fueling inflation "is the fiscal equivalent of faith in a free lunch." "In sum, we pledge to develop a lean federal budget-which puts us on the path to balancing the budget and provides for the human needs of our people," said the statement. IN A SEPARATE statement, the chairman of the House Budget Commit- tee, Rep. James Jones (D-Okla.) blasted the administration for refusing to accept any changes in its economic proposals. "The administration says it can ac- cept no amendments. That it's budget is untouchable," Jones said as the panel resumed work on overall budget guidelines. "No administration has ever made such demands, and no Congress has ever accepted such'demands. It is not the job of the Congress not to think," he said. The alternative Democratic budget calls for slightly deeper cuts than the president proposed and a smaller deficit, but earmarked more spending for social programs and less for defense than the administration recommended. 7,fea lb.- Ihr1 l - - turing _iiY 'THE IHIFFLETUK T- -, Food for Thought I 1 Some of you might not know what a whiffletree is-here's a hint: several of them can be found at 208 W. Huron among the straw forks, potato planters and other antique farm implements. No, the location does not house a flea market, but The Whiffletree Restaurant (incidentally, a whiffletree is a swinging bar to which the traces of a harness are fastened to pull a carriage, plow or wagon). These decorative and once productive farm tools' have something in common with the Whif- fletree's kitchen: both produce (or in the case of the antique implements, 'did produce') delicious food. To begin, try the Escargot with a bit of a twist. These imported French snails are served in the traditional pewter nest but contrary to tradition they are topped with a puffy pastry. This tasty addition should have been made part of the original preparation long ago. Another possible appetizer, which is ac- tually a meal in itself, is The Whiffletree's Spinach Salad. This superior salad, chock full of wilted spinach, mushrooms, chop- ped eggs, bacon and onion, is accom- panied by a hot bacon dressing. When they say 'hot,' they mean it-this flavorful dressing comes to the table in a butter warmer complete with candle. The dinner menu, which includes a wide selection of meat and seafood entrees, is supplemented daily with a flyer full of specialty items. The flyer, which con- stitutes a full menu itself, contains up to eleven fresh-catch and five new dinner specials a day, as well as a two week special onrone of the house favorites at a reduced once. But back to dinner . . . A previous special which has recently been added to the standard menu (and rightfully so) is The Whiffletree Stuffed Shrimp. These jumbo shrimp, stuffed with King Crabmeat and, Baby Shrimp, are all covered with The Whiffletree's smooth and delicate hollan- doise sauce. The mixture is delectable and well-complimented by generous mounds of rice pilaf. You can't go wrong with the Barbequed Ribs. These tender baby spareribs, baked in a special marinade and Barbeque sauce, create another house specialty that's finger-lickin' good. With-food like this there's bound to be a line waiting outside (there are no reser- vations 'except for parties of eight or more), so in tune with customer demand The Whiffletree is expanding to accom- modate 100 more diners. Judging by the restaurant's popularity, each of those extra seats will be needed. The Whiff letree is also introducing a lun- ch menu for the first time (this very week, in fact). Be one of the first to try the new menu which includes scaled down portions of regular evening fare as well as some tempting new creations. Most of the burgers were developed especially for the new menu. Your curiosity might be provoked by such names as the Greek or Monterrey burger. The only way to find out what surprises lay waiting is to visit The Whiffletree for lunch or dinner. Hours are: mon-Sat 11:30 am until 2:00 am, and Sunday from 4:00 pm until 2 am. The kitchen is open until midnight Sunday thru Thursday, and 1:00 am on Friday and Saturday.
