Earlier in the day, Arthur Vander, a member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, told the audience that political leaders do not understand that "we have moved beyond deterrance" in arms control measures. The arms-race is not hopeless, Van- der said, adding that union members must be told that even employed workers can play a significant role in changing attitudes. VANDER SAID the Soviet Union has been educating its civilian population to the realities of nuclear war, and American and Soviet doctors were allowed television time to discuss the medical effects of a nuclear war. During that program, Vander said, an American doctor said Soviet citizens know the civil defense precautions taken by the government would be useless in a nuclear war. Vander said the statement was not censored. IN THE conference's keynote ad- dress yesterday morning, United Auto Workers Secretary Treasurer Ray Majerus said victims of unemployment will make up a majority of the armed forces in a military crisis. We said military spending is higher than needed, and that it is "bleeding the poor." Majerus called for a national industrial policy and more legislation against plant closings. Detroit City Councilwoman Maryann Mahaffey stressed in her talk that the function of government, according to the Constitution is "to promote the general welfare." She said that the current ad- ministration is not fulfilling that obligation, and is instead starving the poor to feed the military. Bernard Firestone, Secretary Treasurer of the Chicago and Central States Joint Board AFL-CIO, said in his opening remarks that there is a direct correlation between the employment level and the strength of the nation. He said he hopes the conference will carry a message to the rank and file, a message that "the American dream can come true through communication and education." The conference will continue today with a speech on U.S. security needs by retired Navy Captain James Bush and workshops on military spending and employment. Cambridge voters reject nuclear ban proposal (Continued from Page 1) stitution or other entity shall, within the City of Cambridge, engage in work the purpose of which is the research, development, testing, evaluation, production, maintenance, storage, transportation, and/or disposal of nuclear weapons or the components of nuclear weapons." If passed, it would have taken effect in October 1985 and would have provided fines or jail terms for violators. SUPPORTERS defended the measure as a logical extension of the nuclear freeze movement - a legal and practical way for ordinary citizens to influence the superpower arms race. They are hoping voters will approve similar proposals in California, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Oregon - which they see as a boost to a renewed effort in Cambridge when elections are held in two years. "If I were Draper Lab, I would not be resting easily," said Schreuer. "Given the huge amount of money (they) put into the campaign, the victory was very narrow." HE SAID documents filed with the Secretary of State indicated opponents spent $123,000 on the campaign, com- pared with $23,000 by proponents. "There was only one issue that got to us," Schreuer said. "That was the jobs issue. The opposition used emotional. scare tactics, saying 70 companies would leave Cambridge - that was just a farce.' He said in two years, the proposal will be worded so "it cannot be taken out of context."

Korea From AP and UPI TOKYO - President Reagan headed today for Seoul to offer assurances that the United States will rush to South Korea's defense in the event of a military strike by North Korea, which U.S. officials said "would be a very grave and foolish mistake." After bidding farewell to Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, Reagan set out for South Korea, the second and final stop of his six-day Asian trip, leaving behind largely unresolved trade differences with Japan. A SENIOR administration of- ficial, speaking privately, said a major purpose of Reagan's visit is to dramatize the U.S. security commit- ment in South Korea, where 39,000 American troops are stationed to help keep the peace. Reagan will visit the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea on Sunday and will meet with U.S. in- fantrymen. Sixty Americans have been killed along the DMZ since the 1953 ar- mistice. Asked what message Reagan hoped his visit would send to North Korea, the official said "that the United States is committed to the defense . of South Korea and that any military action by North Korea would be a very grave and foolish mistake." SECRETARY OF State George Shultz said "North Korea does seem to be on a campaign to raise tensions to the maximum degree." "But the pre- sident will, of course, keep his cool and, at the same time, he is not a person who will be intimidated," he added. - Shultz said Reagan "will want to ex-p press his outrage at the North Korean murder of members of the South Korean government in Burma." T More than 100,000 security officers. were on alert for Reagan's protection. during his 21/2-day visit to South Korea.. 800-621-5745 IN ILLINOIS CALL 312-922.0300 AUTHORS' RESEARCH, ROOM 600 407 S.
