4 Page 2 - The Michigan Doily - Friday, January 13, 1984 Russia won't talkuntil .S removes mssiles I MOSCOW (UPI) - Soviet President Yuri Andropov reiterated yesterday the suspended Geneva nuclear arms talks could resume - provided the United St- ates removes its nuclear missiles from Europe. Andropov's comments idn't change the Soviet position and reiterated his last statement on the issue Nov. 24, the day after Soviet negotiators walked out of the Geneva talks on limiting medium-range missiles in Europe. "WE HOLD that the prevailing situation is not irreversible," Andropov said in a statement carried by the of- ficial Soviet news agency Tass in response to a message from a French disarmament group, Appeal of 100. "The Soviet leadership has already stated in utter clarity that if readiness is expressed on the part of the NATO countries to return to the situation which had existed prior to the start of the deployment of U.S. medium-range missiles in Europe, the U.S.S.R. will likewise be ready to do that," he said. The Soviet Union broke off the missile talks Nov. 23 after the West German parliament approved deployment of U.S. Pershing-2 missiles. ANDROPOV, who has not been seen in public since Aug. 18 and is suffering from an undisclosed ailment, blamed the United States for the suspension of the talks. "The United States turned the talks in Geneva into a screen for covering up its plans of deploying at all cost the new first-strike nuclear weapons in western Europe," the reply said. "When the United States started the actual deployment of its missiles, con- tinuation of the talks in these conditions would be tantamount to complicity in deceiving the European and world public." ANDROPOV said, "The United States and those of its NATO partners who supported the deployment of new American missiles on European soil bear the entire responsibility for the situation that has developed." In Washington, the White House prepared yesterday to fuel suspicions on-Capitol Hill of Soviet arms treaty, violations, although President Reagan will sound a different note in a foreign policy speech next week. Administration officials said mem-, bers of Congress will be briefed today on classified evidence about allegations that the Kremlin has breached terms of existing arms agreements. Although Reagan has indicated he shares this view, aides said the touchy matter of treaty violations will be played down when he delivers a major speech Monday on the state of U.S.- Soviet relations.

Oil lease program to be cut back:: WASHINGTON - Interior Secretary William Clark outlined a play, yesterday that could cut back some of James Watt's massive program to, lease virtually the entire U.S. coastline for offshore oil and gas exploration.., But 'Clark stressed his program does not alter the Reagan ad ministration's basic policy of "expeditiously" exploring the Atlanticf Pacific, Gulf and Alaskan coasts for oil and gas. "The purpose of these changes in offshore leasing will be to increase state and public participation, to identify and resolve issues much earlier and to, better focus on areas where the oil industry truly.seeks to search and toi produce," said Clark. Clark had hinted earlier in the week that the administration was drawing, up changes in the plan unveiled by Watt in 1981 to lease oil and gas rights to 1 r billion offshore acres over five years.

State dept. disputes White House El Salvador death figures WASHINGTON - State Department officials yesterday disputed a White House claim that Salvadoran leftists probably are responsible for more political murders than right-wing death squads. White House spokesman Larry Speakes, citingwhat he called a State Department estimate, said Wednesday that leftists were responsible fo "perhaps 40 percent" of political murders in El Salvador, that rightists were responsible for 30 percent to 40 percent and the rest could not be blamed brn either side in the civil war. Speakes' figures do not square with those of the U.S. Embassy in San Salvador, which has acknowledged it does not know who is to blame for most of the political murders. Overall, Salvadoran human rights groups cataloging the political murders estimate that since the civil war began four years ago, about 47,00people. have died. They say government security forces and rightist death squads are responsible for about 39,000 of the deaths.
