Soviet missile poses new threat to Europe Care to dance?

(Continued from Page 1) IF THE U.S. intelligence assessmen- ts prove to be accurate, those missiles would add to the perceived threat to Western Europe represented by inter- mediate-range missiles such as the SS- 2, which carries three nuclear warheads, has a range of more than 3,100 miles and can hit Western Europe from well inside the Soviet Union. Nothing official on the SSCX-4 has appeared in Pentagon reports, although the recent Soviet Military Power publication spoke cryptically of "development of a series of long-range cruise missiles intended for ground, air and sea-launch platforms."e That publication indicated a belief that the air-launched version will be carried by older Soviet bombers as well as the Blackjack now under develop- ment. BASED ON available information, it appears that the reported new Soviet ground-launched SSCX-4 may be a counterpart to the U.S. GLCM, although the American weapon has a shorter range. The United States, with the official backing of the NATO alliance but op- position from peace groups in Western Europe, plans to deploy 464 GLCMs and 108 Pershing 2 ballistic missiles in allied countries starting late this year. President Reagan, in a retreat from his original call for a mutual ban of European missiles, recently offered to cut back on that deployment if the Soviets will dismantle a proportionate part of its arsenal. The Soviets have balked at that, saying it still would leave the West with a huge advantage because British and French missiles, as well as weapons launched from sub- marines and aircraft, would not be af- fected. THE UNITED States and NATO con- tend that the deployment of the 572 GLCMs and Pershings is essential to counter the threat from SS-2s and some older intermediate-range Soviet ballistic missiles, SS-4s and SS-5s. Cruise missiles, often likened to small, pilotless planes, are powered by jet engines and generally fly below the speed of sound. Some are designed to fly close to the surface to evade radar detection. But if spotted, experts say, they can be destroyed in flight. M It takes a cruise much longer to reach targets than ballistic missiles, which travel many times faster than sound. There is no effective way, for now, to. stop a ballistic missile, even though its flight is more easily detected. LAST DECEMBER, Pentagon of- ficials noted that Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov warned that his country would "match the United States development for development." Kulikov said the Soviets would have a "reliable counterbalance" to whatever new weapons the United States and NATO should develop and that the War- saw Pact will "spare neither efforts nor means" to prevent any U.S.-directed effort toward achieving Western military superiority. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Soviets release Pentacostalist MOSCOW - One of the 27 Siberian Pentecostalists trying to emigrate left the Soviet Union yesterday, and one of the Christian fundamentalists cam- ped in the U.S. embassy for nearly five years indicated they expected the rest to get out also. Lydia Vashchenko, 32, who left the embassy in January 1982, flew to Vien- na to await the arrival of an American woman interested in her case. She is the first well-publicized dissident allowed to emigrate since Yuri Andropov succeeded the late Leonid Brezhnev as Communist Party chief in Novem- ber. Her sister Lubov, one of four other members of the family who have been living in the embassy basement since June 1978, said as soon as 11 younger brothers and sisters still in Siberia join Lydia in the West, "we will leave the embassy." An embassy spokesman said Lydia's departure was "an encouraging sign." But he said there was no indication that the Soviet government was preparing to let any of the other 26 emigrate. The embassy has been host to the Pentecostalists since June 1978, when the group that became known as the Siberrian Seven rushed past Soviet guards at the gates and refused to leave until the U.S. government got per- mission for them to leave their homeland. They said they had been trying to emigrate to Israel because of religious persecution. Senate committee vows to slash Reagan defense spending WASHINGTON - Senate Budget Committee leaders bluntly told President Reagan yesterday that his record defense budget will be cut one way or another - either by the president or by the committee. The panel's senior Democrat, Sen. Lawton Chiles of Florida, said he told Reagan at a White House meeting "there was no way" his original proposal will pass. Sen. Pete V. Domenici, committee chairman, said he told the president he will have to "take a chance" on where the committee votes to trim military spending unless he offers cuts of his own. Domenici (R-N.M.) hinted that private negotiations might soon be under way with the White House and said he still believed Reagan and the committee's 12 Republican members can agree to a compromise covering not only defense but other areas of the budget. Senate GOP Leader Howard Baker of Tennessee told reporters, "I'm telling you I think this thing will work out." Domenici said a vote on defense spending could come as early as today. Speaking privately, committee members and aidessay no more than four of the panel's 22 members support Reagan's $1.8 trillion, five-year defense buildup as he submitted it. Warsaw Pact officials to reject Reagan's arms proposal PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia - Foreign Ministers from the Warsaw Pact communist alliance began two days of talks yesterday expected to reject President Reagan's latest disarmament proposal and call for and East-West non-agression treaty. The foreign ministers' meeting coincided with tough warnings in Moscow that the Soviet Union would match deployment or development of any new weapons by the United States or NATO. And in East Germany, visiting Soviet Defens Minister Dimitri Ustinov warned that deployment of 572 U.S. Pershing-2 and cruise missiles in Western Europe would make those nations "targets for nuclear retaliation." The barrage of Soviet statements came in response to Reagan's offer last week to deploy fewer missiles in Western Europe if the Soviets cut back 600 medium-range missiles to an equal number. NATO says sanctions failing BRUSSELS, Belgium - Experts at a major NATO conference on East- West relations expressed skepticism yesterday about the power of Western economic sanctions to change Kremlin policies or hinder Soviet military buildups. Several participants, in a finding described by one scholar as "em- barrassing" for the Reagan administration, said the embargo on grain and other food hurt the Soviets more than have the bans on high technology. The views were expressed by economists, government experts and business analysts on the opening day of a three-day seminar sponsored by NATO's economics branch, which advises the alliance on financial and trade trends in Soviet bloc countries. It was the department's first comprehensive public review of embargoes imposed since 1979 in an attempt to modify Soviet activities in Afghanistan- and Poland. 23 guerrillas killed in Nicaragua MANAGUA, Nicaragua - The leftist Nicaraguan government's troops yester- day battled rebels in northeastern Zelaya province trying to create a "liberated" zone there, government military sources reported. The Sandinista army killed 23 guerrillas who were trying to reach a gold mine in Zelaya, the Defense Ministry said. A rebel broadcast said anti-Sandinista Indians killed 30 government soldiers and wounded 10. It also said four air force planes bombed Indian communities all day Tuesday in Zelaya province, on the east coast, and killed "dozens of women, old people and children." A Defense Ministry communique said the 23 rebels killed were part of an "invading force" that traveled by river to within 11 miles of the Bonanza gold mine, 270 miles northeast of Managua. It said nothing about army casualties. Vol. XCIII, No. 148 Thursday, April 7, 1983 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
