The Michigan Daily- Thursday, September 15, 1983 - Page Soviets plan to modernize ~EuropeaE BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The Soviet Union is rapidly modernizing its battlefield nuclear forces in East bloc countries, adding new artillery and deploying new SS-21 rockets at a rate of four a month, NATO sources said yesterday. The SS-21, with a range of 75 miles, is a mobile surface-to-surface missile which replaces Frog-7 missiles with about half the range, the sources said. THE SOVIET UNION .is distributing new nuclear-capable artillery to its for- ces in Eastern Europe, including about 150 artillery pieces' in East Germany, said the sources, quoting a new NATO report; and speaking on condition they not be identified. The report was part of 'an intelligence update given this week at a meeting in London of senior nuclear affairs specialists from most of the 16 North Atlantic Treaty Organization nations. The' sourses said it was based on satellite observations and other in- telligence-gathering means, which were not described. THE SOVIET UNION this year threatened to deploy nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe if NATO goes ahead with plans to put 572 new Pershing 2 and cruise missiles.in Western Europe stat- nuclear forces ting in December. The Soviets also are building three new bases for mobile SS-20 nuclear missiles to be targeted on Western Europe while negotiating with the United States for reductions on both . sides, Pentagon sources in Washington say. The sources, who requested anonymity, said the bases will be able to house 27 missiles, each with three warheads. Currently, the Soviet Union has 243 of these missiles aimed at Western Europe and another 108 targeted on Asia. DEFENSE SECRETARY Caspar Weinberger charged last spring that the Soviets have had nuclear warheads in East bloc countries for many years: The NATO report provides the details, the sources in Brussels said. The report said the Soviet Union has about 4,000 nuclear warheads in East bloc countries. This does not include nuclear forces in the European military districts of the Soviet Union itself, which also are targeted on Western Europe. The number of nuclear-capable air- craft deployed in Eastern Europe has remained constant at about 1,600 over the past five years, the report said. The estimated number of nuclear bombs stockpiled for use by these planes was not given by the sources. THE QUALITY of the force has in- creased, however due to the introduc- tion of newer, more capable aircraft," the report said. Among them, the study listed the su- 24 Fencer, a 1,120-mile range all- weather bomber said to be integrated into Soviet, East German, Polish and Hungarian forces. The sources said U.S. intelligence gatherers, who supplied the infor- mation forsthe report, believe the weapons listed in- the study have nuclear charges. The report comes at a time of growing pressure on NATO to justify the need for nuclear weapons in Europe like the Pershing 2 and cruise missiles scheduled for deployment in West Germany, Britain and Italy this year. These are longer range rockets designed to counter 3,125-mile range Soviet SS-20 missiles, which are not in- cluded in the report since they are all reported to be in the Soviet Union itself.

He also said Epton advised them against their original plan of adding the proposal as an amendment to the city charter. Sin- ce the proposal is not an amendment, the city council must vote to place the amendment on the ballot. Epton could not be reached for comment. Councilman Richard Deem (R- Second Ward) opposes the petition. "City council has enough to do within the city, it's not the responsibility of people of Ann Arbor to judge what hap- pends in the Mid-East any more than it is to judge the Mayor of Istanbul," he said.
