4 Page 2-Sunday, January 30, 1983-The Michigan Daily Benefit aids nuclear disarmament movement (0ntinued from Page 1) Dr. Arthur Vander, presented a discussion about the medical aspects of nuclear war. "I'm convinced that if we understood the true nature of a nuclear war, the movement arising would be irrepressible;" he said. Vander denied any comparisons bet- ween modern nuclear war and the bombs dropped on Japan. "The weapon which is targeted on us right now is 90 tines more powerful than the one drop- ped on Hiroshima," he said. 'WE NEED an immediate personalj feeling for what would happen (in a nuclear war), numbers mean nothing," Vander said. He illustrated-his point by vividly describing what happens to the human body when exposed to severe radiation, such as the crushed bodies, peeling skin, and shattered bones. No good whatsoever is coming out of the arms race, he said. "Nuclear weapons are not weapons, they are suicide instruments." Several anti-nuclear groups had set up booths at the benefit to spread in- formation about the spread of nuclear weapons. "OUR MAIN thing is to get the in- formation out," said Tom Hayes of the Interfaith Council. "I think every time. someone comes to a thing like this, they get a little more pushed to get infor- mation," he said. Most people came to support a favorite cause. "The presentation tonight is the basic issue of life and death," said third-year law student Helen Gallagher. She added, "it's really been effective." :"Well, we came for the entertain- ment," said Ann Arbor resident Dan Weinberg. He added, though, that the benefit's cause also made him want to come. Strategic Moves organizer Jesse LRichards said she thought the evening was a success. "It's going fine, in fact it's beautiful."

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Bush hopes to reaffirm allies WASHINGTON - Vice President George Bush heads for Europe and a fence-mending mission today, his prestige as a major figure in the Reagan administration on the line along with furthering U.S.-Soviet negotiations to curb nuclear weapons. The assignment is both delicate and important, because Bush meets with leaders of six allied governments, trying to ease differences over U.S. negotiating strategy. Working behind the scenes, and in the glare of publicity, Bush will try to reach an understanding to stabilize the jittery trans-Atlantic alliance on the nuclear war issue. As Bush told reporters on Thursday, he intends to press Soviet negotiators to "come up with a reasonable proposal" at the bargaining table. The U.S.-Soviet arms control talks in Geneva and NATO's, scheduled deployment of 572 new U.S. ground missiles could be affected if Bush's mission falters. If it succeeds, Bush's stock as a potential presidential candidate certainly could be boosted by his handling of delicate diplomacy on the anxiety- marked issue of nuclear war. Shultz tours Asia, hopes to increase Japanese defenses WASHINGTON - Secretary of State George Shultz has begun a two-week tour of Asia with hopes of convincing Japan to increase its defenses, easing tensions with China and assuring the South Koreans of U.S. military com- mitment. As Shultz left yesterday for Tokyo, a U.S. official accompanying him said recent references to nuclear retaliation by the Soviet Union may help the argument for strengthening Japan's military defense. One of Shultz's primary missions will be to encourage the Japanese people to accept Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakason's desire for more defense spending. After World War II, Japan adopted a constitution which restricted military power to defense. The country has a treaty with the United States which assures U.S. protection in an emergency. Hence, Japan's budget for defense is small and its people have opposed any increases. The United States wants the country to do more to accept responsibilities for specific missions to defend the Japanese home islands and to protect the sealanes as far as 1,000 nautical miles from its shores. More Calif. storms forecast LOS ANGELES - The latest in a series of storms that has wreaked close to $70 million damage on the California coast blew itself out yesterday as more homes collapsed into the rampaging surf. But new storms were backed up over the Pacific "from here to Japan," one forecaster said, threatening another week of the heavy weather that has killed 11 people. Nineteen homes have been destroyed and 3,153 damaged statewide since the storms began last week, said Anita Garcia of the state Office of Emergency Services. Nearly 2,000 coastal residents were evacuated during the week, many of them seeking refuge in 18 Red Cross centers around the state, she said. Most were back at their homes after the fourth storm, a bit milder than feared, wrung itself dry yesterday after dumping 1.39 inches of rain on already soggy Southern California. The National Weather Service said the storm threat was easing tem- porarily for the Super Bowl weekend in Los Angeles, with only "showery weather" expected. Along the Sacramento-San Joaqin delta, work crews filled sandbags and dumped rocks along riverbanks in a battle to protect some of the richesfar- mland in America. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates $415 million will be needed to repair broken and weakened levees along the rivers. Tinkering may doom plans for Social Security's rescue WASHINGTON - The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says Congress should be able to approve a Social Security rescue plan by Easter - but he warns that delay or tinkering with the precarious com- promise could doom the effort. "I analyze this as the train moving through the depot at a pace fast enough so that nobody can jump off," said Rep. Dan Rostenkowski (D-Ill). "And the one guy I've got to keep on this train is Claude Pepper." President Reagan, he said, must hold already-balking Senate Republicans on board. Pepper, an 82-year-old Florida Democrat, was a key figure in the com- promise struck by the National Commission on Social Security Reform. He chairs the House Rules Committee and has close ties with elderly voters. Canadian public workers strike QUEBEC - With cracks showing in their "Common Front" and gover- nment threatening stiff penalties, thousands of striking public workers con- verged on this provincial capital yesterday to press their campaign against pay cuts. Police and other observers said an estimated 20,000 marchers - about half the number predicted by union organizers - paraded to the Quebec National Assembly building in a line about a mile long. Most of the demonstrators were members of the teachers union, the group most affected by a recent law that cut wages and imposed new working con- ditions in a three-year contract. More than 115,000 government workers, mostly teachers, walked off their jobs last week in the first stage of the escalating strike that left 1 million students without classes and disrupted other government services.

Complete budget documents - including precise estimates of proposed spending changes for each federal program bet- ween 1983 and 1984 - were being withheld until tomorrow. EDWIN DALE, a spokesman for the White House budget office, said spen- 'ding on food stamps, welfare, and sup- plemental income payments to the elderly, blind, and disabled would be "slightly lower than in 1983," but he declined to provide specific figures. "The changes are just around the edges. . . They're minimal," Dale said yesterday. "The average welfare mother or food stamp recipient would not be affected." Dale said the changes are designed to limit benefits or eligibility to those with the most pressing financial needs. Nevertheless, the administration's social spending proposals received prompt rebuffs from their political allies and foes in Congress. Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker (R-Tenn.) said there would be a "donnybrook" in Congress over Reagan's plan for a virtual freeze on domestic spending while giving the Pentagon another $30 billion.

ALSO SPEAKING at the conference was Clovis Maksoud, ambassador from the League of Arab States. "The U.S. position has made peace elusive in the Mideast," he said. Israel must be penalized by the United States, he said, then they will leave Lebanon. President Reagan should cut all military aid to Israel, he said, not placate the Israelis by giving them more aid. If the United States remains captured by the need to please Israel, it is doing itself, as well as advocates of peace, a great disservice, Maksoud said. The United States should reassess its policy in the Mideast, because America has been trusted with the task of crisis management, and there is a crisis on hand at the moment. "In the final analysis," he said, "there must be negotiation to achieve peace, but there is no such thing as negotiations for negotiations sake."
