War is the most unimaginative way of
Solving problems and inevitably leads to
uman suffering, peace advocate
Richard Cleaver said yesterday at a
forum on the human dimension of the
year in Lebanon.
The forum, which also featured Paul
Hopkins, Mideast representative of the
United Presbyterian Church, was part of
a two-day conference. titled, "In Search
of a Near East Settlement: The After-
math of Lebanon '82."
THE CONFERENCE will continue
through this evening at the Rackham
Building and the Michigan League.
No nation can justify military action,
said Cleaver, peace education secretary
of the American Friends Service Com-
mittee. "The taking up of arms (by a
country) is the beginning of a road which,
leads only to death and suffering," he
told the audience of about 70 people at
Rackham Amphitheatre.
A slide show prepared by the AFSC,
depicting rubble and refugees in war-
Ptorn Lebanon, highlighted Cleaver's
presentation. "It (the slide show) is
about war itself, what it means, what it
looks like, what it feels like, smells like,,
and tastes like," he said.
FOLLOWING CLEAVER, Hopkins
discussed Israels Mideast policies,
describing the Lebanese war as the
"opening thrust" in Israel's effort to gain
control of the Mideast.
He predicted the war might spread to
Syria in the spring if Israel occupies
,Lebanon through the winter. After this,
the next Israeli move might be an in--
vasion of Jordan and neighboring Arab
state, Hopkins said.
Israel's goals in waging war against
Lebanon were only partially met, he
said. Israel wanted to stamp out the

The bill was designed as a protest
against South Africa's policy of racial
separation.
KING SAID HE vetoed the bill late
last year because it might force pension
funds to sell at a loss, which potentially
could hurt retirees. King said then that
he would have liked to sign the bill
because he considered the South,
African policy of apartheid a "morat
abomination."
King could not be reached for com-
ment yesterday about the South Africa}

Palestinian nationalism, according to
Hopkins.
ALTHOUGH the PLO's military was
destroyed to an extent, the spirit behind
the Palestinian struggle has
strenghened as a result of the war, he
said.
Regent Sarah Power (D-Ann Arbor),
Ambassador to the League of Arab
States Clovis Maksoud, and former
Prime Minister of Lebanon Salim Ah-
mad Al-Hoss are among the speakers
slated for today's panels, forums, and
workshops.
The International Center, the
Michigan Student Assembly, the
Ecumenical Campus Center, and the
Office of Ethics and Religion are spon-
soring the conference. An ad-hoc
committee of faculty from this Univer-
sity and Eastern Michigan University
also helped plan the event.

Police
notes
4 housemates robbed
Two men in their 20s staged a daring
robbery yesterday morning on the 1400
block of White Street, police said. The
two allegedly entered the house through
an unlocked door at about 10:30 a.m.,
one armed with a handgun, the other
with a "long" gun. The men gathered
the four residents together and took
their money, ordering the men to
remain where they were while the two
fled from the house, police said.

up from the fourth quarter of last year.
BUT HE SAID, "I don't know when
the recovery is going to begin. It's dif-
ficult to be confident whether it is
January or February."
Feldstein also acknowledged that the
nation's unemployment rate - already
at a 42-year high of 10.8 percent - could
edge over 11 percent this year before
beginning a slow decline.
In addition to the leading indicators,
yesterday's report said an accom-
panying Index of Coincident Indicators
designed to measure current con-
ditions - dipped 0.1 percent in Decem-
ber.
That would not preclude an eventual
finding that the economy did end its
recession and begin moving forward at
least slightly at some point during the
month.
the unofficial - and widely accepted
- arbiter of when recessions begin and
end is the private National Bureau of
Economic Research in -Cambridge,
Mass. Coincidentally, Feldstein was
president of the bureau before coming
to the White House last year.
PRESIDENT Reagan had partly
"scooped" yesterday's report, telling
reporters Thursday night the figures
would show ''some good news."~
The index, which now has risen in
eight of the past nine months, brings
together 11 separate forward-pointing
measures covering unemployment,
production, prices and business condit-
ions in general. Only 10 were available
for December.
In the past, index gains have
foreshadowed recovery for the
economy as a whole, though the
recoveries usually began turning up
sooner than nine months after the in-
dicators turned up. Index increases
prior to past recoveries also were
bigger than the gains during the past
nine months, indicating that the

economy's 1983 rebound will be only
moderate.
IN DECEMBER the report said, six
of 10 indicators showed improvement,
led by a gain in new orders for plants
and equipment and a drop in initial
claims for unemployment benefits - a
sign that layoffs were slowing.
There were gains last month in the
money supply, building permits for
future housing construction, stock

prices and orders for new consumer
goods and materials.
Three indicators were down: total
business liquid assets, prices of sen-
sitive raw materials and speed of
business deliveries.
There was no change in the average
work-week.
The leading indicators rose just 0.2
percent in November rather than the
0.8 percent originally estimated;
yesterday's report said.
