130 slain in South African race riots The Michigan Daily- Saturday, November 17, 1984 -Page 3 Chernenko calls for nuclear arms reduction talks JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Police have arrested 2,300 people in a "mopping-up operation" following widespread rioting in black townships, authorities said yesterday. Col. Vic Haynes at police headquar- ters in Pretoria said most of those arrested Thursday were released by yesterday morning after they paid fines on a variety of charges. The most common charge, he said, was non- payment of rent. DEFENSE MINISTER Magnus Malan, in a speech last night, blamed the rioting and unrest since late August on "calculated action by hostile elements" seeking to overthrow South Africa's white-minority rule. He said the government was trying to move ahead with race reform, "but at the same time we must ensure that the progress we make is not threatened by the radical consequences of rapid and unruly change." Minister of Law and Order Louis le Grange ackowledged Thursday night that 130 people, all but one of them black, died in the recent unrest. He said 95 of the victims were killed by police. Private groups maintain about 155 people died in the unrest. Le GRANGE ALSO said he has asked for a criminal investigation of the Rev. Allan Boesak, one of the nation's most prominent anti-apartheid clerics, because of an interview Boesak gave to the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia. Le Grange called Boesak "a liar and a slanderer" for saying a state of civil war existed in South Africa and that police committed "unbelievable atrocities" against blacks in the segregated townships. Boesak, a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church, is chairman of the World Council of Reformed Churches and is considered a possible successor to Nobel Peace laureate Desmond Tutu as head of the South African Council of Churches. Le Grange also accused the newspapers of inflating police detention figures, saying 434 government op- ponents had been detained without charge this year, not the 1,006 claimed by monitoring organizations. The most recent police raid was aimed at hostels where many migrant worker^ live in Sebokeng, about 30 miles south of Johannesburg, where some of the worst rioting occurred in early September to protest rent in- creases. Rents have not been paid sin- ce then in the township of 200,000 people.

The bird is presented annually to the president. ow. Westmore land denies charges WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet President Konstantin Chernenko was quoted yesterday as saying the top priority in U.S.-Soviet relations during President Reagan's second term should be to limit and reduce nuclear weapons, and he pledged "to work vigorously" to attain those aims. In remarks to NBC-TV, Chernenko didn't repeat some of the pre-con- ditions for arms control talks the Soviets have set previously. HE SAID if recent statements by the Reagan administration concerning a desire for improved relations with Moscow "do not remain just words," the two superpowers could "start moving toward more normal relations between our two countries and toward a more secure world." But Chernenko also said he doesn't think "conditions now are ripe" for a summit meeting between him and Reagan for the next six months at least. Secretary of State George Schultz said yesterday that Chernenko's em- phasis on the need to address arms con- trol issues as a top priority in U.S.-Soviet relations was "a positive statement. "I think that we are seeing results ; we are seeing progress," Shultz said in an interview with NBC-TV. He said it is time for Moscow and Washington to begin "the private processes of diplomacy" aimed at achieving "real results" in superpower relations. Shultz said of Chernenko's remarks, "We welcome his statements. We agree with the goals that he states. "The emphasis in the interview...was on arms control, and that is a central and important issue, there's no doubt about it," Shultz said. "We're ready to sit down and engage in real negotiations with the Soviet Union on arms control and seek concrete results and work out problems. That's the pur- pose of the umbrella talks proposal that the president has made." CHERNENKO'S COMMENTS in- dicated the umbrella talks idea lacks appeal in Moscow, but U.S. officials believe that would not prove a hindran- ce once both sides decide they are ready to negotiate seriously. Informed officials told The Associated Press separately yesterday that Shultz may go to Moscow sometime in January for a meeting NEW YORK (UPI)-Gen. William Westmoreland yesterday denied blocking because it would create a "political bombshell" a draft cable that recommended the Army double its estimate of irregular Viet Cong troops. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Viet- nam, testified for the second day in his $120 million libel suit against CBS for its 1982 documentary "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception." WESTMORELAND WAS accused of purposely keeping enemy strength estimates low. Brig. Gen. Joseph McChristian, Westmoreland's chief of intelligence, brought him in mid-May 1967 the draft cable reporting increased strength in irregular forces. "I had the definite impression that he felt if he sent those figures back to Washington at that time, it would create a political bombshell," McChristian said on the TV documentary. "I WAS not about to send to Washington something that was specious," Westmoreland was quoted as saying in the next line of the edited, finished, broad- cast. "And in my opinion, it was specious." The purpose in underestimating the enemy troop count, the TV report said, was to make it appear the United States was sinning a war of attrition and should be given more troops to speed the end of the war. The key question in the suit is whether the Viet Cong's Self Defense and Secret Self Defense forces, earlier described as "older men, younger boys and Mama-sans," should be counted in the enemy's order of battle-their estimated strength. MCCHRISTIAN'S DRAFT cable said that the SD and SSD forces had doubled. Westmoreland's attorney, Dan Burt, asked if Mc- Christian could have sent the cable on his own without his boss' okay. "He could have," answered Westmoreland. "WHY?" ASKED Burt. "Because the scope of the cable and the information therein," said Westmoreland, referring to Mc- Christian's intelligence role. Then the attorney asked if Westmoreland had said it would create a "political bombshell." Westmoreland denied that he said it. "I'm confident I didn't use those words because they're not part of my lexicon," Westmoreland said. "What did you say," asked Burt. "...if this goes in it will create (slight pause) a public relations problem." Westmoreland refused to endorse the cable. "I told him I wanted a briefing and would study it," said Westmoreland. "Did you ask him to reduce the estimates?" "I did not." "Are you positive?" "I'm positive." Chernenko ... calls for arms talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Chernenko provided written answers to questions submitted by Marvin Kalb of NBC News. The written answers were returned to Kalb on yesterday and aired on the network's evening news program. The Soviet leader suggested Moscow is not now interested in the kind of con- sultations Reagan has proposed aimed at establishing overall goals in U.S. - Soviet relations. "It is this - the limitation and reduc- tion of arms, and above all nuclear ar- ms, prevention of the spread of the ar- ms race into areas which have been free of that race so far - that the USSR and the U.S. should reach agreement of in the first place," he said. "For our part we are prepared to work - and to work vigorously - toward that end," he said.

Shapiro tops $100,000 (Continued from Page 1) meeting that the board had held off on Shapiro's raise until they saw what the board of trustees of Michigan State University would pay new president John DiBiaggio. DiBiaggio will get $99,800 a year, but resigning president Cecil Mackey now earns $108,000. ROACH said the increase was "necessary and appropriate," adding that he is extremely pleased with Shapiro's performance. "The feedback that I have received and that my colleagues have received from all of our constituencies...has been extremely positive," Roach said. Also at yesterday's meeting, the regents approved funding for a new University Hospital burn center. The center, which will cost more than $7 million, will be located adjacent to the new Adult General Hospital.
