'Page 8-Friday, November 19, 1982-The Michigan Daily Shultz anxious to improve U.S. relations with Soviets WASHINGTON- The Reagan ad- ministration is ready to explore ways to improve U.S.-Soviet relations, but won't be swayed by the "mood music" emanating from the Kremlin's new leadership, Secretary of State George Shultz said yesterday. Shultz, at a news conference, said the United States was ready for a "careful, thoughtful" dialogue with the Soviets. However, he added, "The important thing is a change in behavior" on their part. Shultz and Vice President George Bush met on Monday with the new Soviet Communist party chief, Yuri Andropov, while in Moscow for the funeral of Leonid Brezhnev. He said they were received with "great cour- tesy." "Some people say that's a signal and perhaps it is," Shultz said. But he added that deeds, not rhetoric, will signal Moscow's desire for improved relations. "We look for changes in behavior or indications of a willingness to discuss them," Shultz said. "We have said we are willing to do so. Shultz said there should be a recognition that the problems between the two countries "on the whole are problems that they (the Soviets) have created...' "But we are ready to get in and 49********************* * "Gimmea D- Gimme anA Gimme an l...L...Y Give the MICHIGAN DAILY that old college try.

As examples of places where the Soviets can demonstrate their willingness to improve relations, Shultz cited arms control talks now under way in Geneva, talks in Vienna to reduce East-West troop strength in Europe and the human rights conference in Madrid. Those are negotiations "Where we would welcome movement," Shultz said. A withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan would also be "a piece of constructive behavior," Shultz said in answer to a question. He did not men- tion Soviet behavior in Poland. In the past, administration officials have insisted on an easing of Soviet pressure in both Afghanistan and Poland as conditions for improved relations with the United States. The fact Shultz didn't repeat those con- ditions didn't in itself signify a change, however. Shultz said the friendly gestures by the new Soviet leaders were offset in his mind by a "quite startling" show of military strength in a parade in Red Square following the Brezhnev funeral. He said Americans should "not allow the mood music to delude us, to take us away from our own convictions. We must do what.is necessary for our own defense." There has not been any discussion of a Reagan-Andropov summit meeting, Shultz said, but added the president stands ready to meet with the Soviet leadership if such a meeting would have promise of meaningful results. That has been Reagan's position from the outset of his presidency, Shultz said. In answer to a question, Shultz said the 68-year-old Andropov appeared to be very much in charge of the Soviet government as Brezhnev's successor.

Housing starts were forecast at a 1983 level of 1,618,000, up from the 1982 total of 1,043,000. THE STATE forecast, presented by Joan Crary, an assistant research scientist with the economics depar- tment, anticipates a general upturn in Michigan's economy. "Nationally, interest rates have been declining, consumer liquidity is high, and consumer confidence has been im- proving. All of these signals would in- dicate that a sustained recovery in the automotive market is imminent-a recovery which would lead Michigan out of the current recession," Crary said. recoverypredicted Crary, however, later cautioned that Michigan's personali "The revoery will be closer to a forecast to grow at a rate of, gradual recovery rather than a sharp 1983 - almost twice the est one.
