Page 2 -The Michigan Daily -Tuesday, March 12, 1985 Arms talks to start a From AP and UPI GENEVA, Switzerland - The United States and the Soviet Union agreed yesterday that arms control talks will start today as planned despite the death of Soviet President Konstan- tin Chernenko. Ambassador Max Kampleman, leader of the U.S. delegation, said Chernenko's death Sunday would not delay the start of the talks in Geneva. Kampelman's spokesman said, however, the United States had offered to consider a delay if the Soviets wished. "NATURALLY OUR FIRST concern was to make sure we made it clear to the Soviets that their needs in respect to these times would certainly be accom- modated," said spokesman Joseph Lehman. Lehman added that the United States had not formally suggested a post- ponement, but had left it to the Soviets to make their desires clear. There was no direct word from the Soviet mission, where telephones were either busy or went unanswered throughout much of theday. BUT Kampleman's statement, plus details given by Lehman, indicated there was no change in previous expec- tations for the initial meeting. Lehman told a news conference the framework for today's session was worked out in an hour-long meeting between delegation aides yesterday at Geneva offices of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Lehman said a second meeting would be held on Thursday and that this session, expected to be held in the U.S. arms control offices, "will probably move on to more direct negotiations." PRESIDENT Reagan, skillfully using the strategy forced on him last fall, has tied support for the 10-warhead intercontinental weapon he calls Peacekeeper to the success of the U.S.- Soviet arms talks. "Without the Peacekeeper, our chan- ces of reaching an equitable agreement with the Soviet Union to reduce significantly the size of our nuclear ar- senals are substantially lowered," he told Congress in a report last week. Last fall, opponents of the MX missile came up with a strategy they thought finally would mean the end of the giant new nuclear weapon, but now the plan has boomeranged and MX supporters say another narrow victory is likely.. DURING negotiations in September s planned to reach a compromise, MX opponents agreed to go ahead with $1.5* billion for 21 missiles this year, but only after March 1. Reagan was required to sub- mit a report restating U.S. need for the weapon and then the House and Senate would each have to vote twice on whether to release the money. Reagan accepted the compromise only reluctantly and House Speaker Thomas O'Neill exulted that it meant "MX will never be deployed . .. the defeat of the MX is well at hand." But in the intervening six months, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to startntalking again about ways to reduce the ever-growing num- ber of nuclear weapons. LEHMAN SAID "we have a body of negotiating history" on the missile negotiations. The Soviets abandoned the talks in late 1983 after NATO began deploying the first of 572 cruise and Pershing 2 missiles in Western Europe to counter a buildup of Soviet SS-20 rockets. Lehman said "in the space area we're starting somewhat from scratch." President Reagan has launched a space research program, the Strategic Defense Initiative - popularly known Gorbachev ...opposes "Star Wars" as Star Wars - with the ultimate goal of making nuclear missiles "impotent and obsolete." Mikhail Gorbachev, who was named yesterday to succeed Chernenko as general secretary of the Soviet Com- munist Party, made clear objection to Star Wars during a visit to Britain Dec. 17. 'We are the world' takes stores by storm, NEW YORK (AP)-"We Are the World"-the song, the cause and the guessing game-was selling off the racks in record stores and getting heavy airtime on radio stations, disc jockeys and stores reported yesterday. The debut of the video version was set for last night on MTV. Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie to raise money for African hunger relief, the song has audiences listening intently to identify the voices of the 46 pop artists-a veritable Who's Who of the American music industry-who recorded it after the American Music Awards in January. THE SINGE OF "We Are the World" was released in New York on -Wed- nesday and nationally on Thursday, and record stores reported that their shipments were quickly depleted. "This is one of those cases that no matter how much they press, it's never enough," said Jim Hale, a buyer for Tower Records in New York. Tower's initial allotment of 600 arrived Thur- sday and was sold out by Friday night., British rock stars, uniting under the name Band Aid, recorded "Do They Know It's Christmas?" last year to raise money for Ethiopian famine vic- tims. The American group calls itself USA for Africa. Amy Grosser, music coordinator for WNEW-FM in New York, said some callers have criticized "We Are the World" as imitative. "Personally I don't agree," Ms. Grosser said. Economists say a recession is possible WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's economy, which just completed a year of the strongest growth in three decades, could very well be in a recession next year, economists say, but the downturn will be less severe than the last recession. That is the forecast of many of the nation's top economists. Even those who are not calling for an outright recession believe the country will be in a hybrid known as a "growth recession" next year. Lawrence Chimerine, chief economist at Chase Econometrics, said his firm expects a growth' recession to begin in late 1985 and continue into the first half of 1986. "WE DON't think we will have a serious recession, but by no means are we forecasting buoyant growth," he said. As a result, Chimerine and many other economists have an equally bleak outlook for unemployment, predicting virtually no improvement in the jobless rate over the next two years. Even the Reagan administration is predicting unemployment will be down only slightly to 7 percent by the end of the year. The administration, however, is more optimistic about the economy's overall performance, forecasting growth of 4 percent annually for the next four years with no recession in sight through the end of this decade. ONE REASON many economists believe the next recession will be milder than the steep 1981-82 down- turn is that some of the problems that plagued the economy through the 1970s - soaring oil prices and high inflation -are no longer present. , Uniformly, economists cite huge federal budget deficits as the reason they believe this recovery will not last as long as the average expansion. The budget deficit, economists believe, gobbles up the money the private sector needs to expand and drives up interest rates. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Israelis storm Lebanese town ZRARIYE, Lebanon - Israeli troops and armor stormed this south Lebanon town outside their occupation zone yesterday, overpowering the small Lebanese army garrison and killing at least 25 people the Israeli command said were guerrillas. The dawn assault on the Shiite Moslem town followed a night-long artillery bombardment. Residents said the shelling began a few hours after a suicide bomber in a pickup truck filled with explosives killed 12 Israeli soldiers and wounded 14 near the Israeli border. Zrariye's assistant police chief, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said an Israeli force of as many as 300 vehicles and about 1,000 soldiers invaded the town and took away enough prisoners to fill two buses and a truck. The Israelis pulled out just before sundown, covering their withdrawal with smoke grenades, permitting the entry of reporters and Red Cross teams who had been waiting in nearby villages. A message sprayed in black paint on the walls of the town's main square read: "This is the revenge of the Israeli defense forces." The Israeli command said its troops killed 24 guerrillas and took 10 ' Lebanese soldiers prisoner in Zrariye because they ignored an Israeli war- ning not to resist. "Many guerrilla suspects and weapons in great quan- tities" also were captured, the command added. Iran, Iraq raid civilian areas BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iran and Iraq sent their warplanes deep inside each other's territory yesterday in attacks on the outskirts of Baghdad and destructive raids on two Iranian cities and a port. At least 100 people were killed and hundreds more were wounded, war communiques and witnesses reported. The Iranians said two Iraqi warplanes flew over Tehran in the eighth day of attacks on civilian targets by both sides, but were chased away. Both capitals were attacked several times in the early days of the war, which began in September 1980, but such deep penetration has been rare since. Iranian jets strafed the streets in Kasra and Atash, about seven miles east of Baghdad, wounding "scores" of people, and killed 13 people in a rocket at- tack on Saddam City, a low-income residential community of about 1 million people a mile closer to the capital, witnesses said. Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Nicosia, said the city of Tabriz came under Iraqi air attack later yesterday. It said the planes fired rockets at four residential neighborhoods of the city, killing 10i people and wounding 46. Mubarak to meet with Reagan WASHINGTON - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak met with top U.S. leaders yesterday, but his pleas for more aid and a dramatic shift in American Middle East Policy have little chance of success, a senior ad- ministration official said. Mubarak, who meets with President Reagan today, began three days of in- tense lobbying for $870 million more in aid for his economically beleaguered nation, and to convince Washington to meet with members of the Palestine Liberation Organization. But even while Mubarak was presenting his case to the first of many ad- ministration officials - Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger - one senior administration adviser'was declaring the Egyptian leader's cause virtually hopeless. The official said Reagan intends to tell Mubarak that "while his economic needs are compelling, we must consider our own budget," which is running a deficit of around $200 billion a year. U.S., Mexico discuss drug trade WASHINGTON - Secretary of State George Shultz and Mexican Foreign Secretary Bernardo Sepulveda met yesterday and both sides indicated af- terward a desire to tone down their differences over cross-border drug traf- ficking and other issues. "The two sides are most interested in ensuring that all issues are dealt with in a friendly and cordial manner and that a solution can be found to every single issue," Sepulveda said. A senior U.S. official, who briefed reporters on condition he not be iden- tified, said Shultz expressed no dissatisfaction to Sepulveda over Mexico's handling of its investigation into the kidnapping and murder of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency official in Guadalajara. "We're past that point," the official said, adding that he does not believe the incident has damaged U.S.-Mexican relations. UAW leaders continue talks DETROIT - United Auto Workers leaders from the United States and Canada began a second round of discussions yesterday on how to split up $670 million worth of assets when 112,000 Canadian auto workers leave the in- ternational union. UAW spokesman Peter Laarman said that talks between UAW President Owen Bieber and Canadian director Bob White could occur during the UAW's four-day long international executive board meeting in Detroit this week, although no definite agenda has been slated. "The subject of the split may come up intermittently," Laarman added. Analysts have said that the pending divorce between the United States and Canada, which was prompted by interference from U.S. union officials during a 13-day strike against General Motors of Canada last fall, could cost the UAW an estimated $15 million in lost union dues. The Canadian auto workers make up about 10 percent of the 1.15 million UAW members.

OLICE NOTES Deliveryman robbed An armed robber held up a pizza delivery man on the loading dock of Couzens Hall early Saturday morning, according to Sgt. Jan Suomala of the Ann Arbor police. The victim was not injured, but the thief got away with a small amount of cash. Cab held up An armed gunman held up a Yellow Cab. near the 1400 block of East Ann early yesterday morning and fled with a small amount of cash. Tools, camera equipment stolen Two cars were broken into over the past weekend. Tools valued at $532 were taken from a van parked in the Fletcher Street parking structure early Sunday morning, and camera equip- ment worth $300 was taken from a car at the North Campus Recreation Building last Saturday afternoon. Campus thefts Two wallets valued at $58 and $13 were taken from the Central Campus Recreation Building on Friday. A purse valued at $89 was taken from a female student at the Law Library on Saturday night, and a flight bag with contents worth $103 was taken Sunday afternoon from the men's locker room at the In- tramural Sports Building. - Thomas Hrach ch and has since abandoned her medical career to educate the public on the facts and threat of nuclear proliferation and war. "I GIVE A TALK and people say 'Yuck! I feel awful!' Like that's un- American or something. It's all 'Have a nice day,' and 'Enjoy.' You call AT&T and they say thank you for calling, and you know they're about to blow up the world. ITT, Digital, IBM, just name them," said Caldicott. She was answered by a voice in the crowd shouting "Williams!" in refer- ence to the engineering firm in Walled Lake where several community mem- bers were arrested as they, protested outside the plant facility, which produces military hardware. "I was talking to a friend of mine recently. A fellow who retired from the Pentagon, and he told me his colleagues believe nuclear war is certain within the next ten years, because of the weapons we have now," Calidcott said. "But where is the noise? Where's the noise? Everyogp's so frightfully nice. I'll get a hot tub. I'll buy a car. It's psychic numbing. Just like in Ger- many. What's happened to the human survival instinct?" Caldicott asked. Caldicott admonished the crowd by relaying the fact that the office of congressional Rep. Carl Purcell told her recently that he received only 20 postcards in opposition to the MX missile. "Well, learnra few facts," said, Caldicott. "Your legislators are not your leaders, they're your represen- tatives. And if you don't pressure them they'll respond to the lobbyists. If everyone of you here tonight wrote a letter to Purcell, he'd vote against the MX." "And don't just go out in the streets and hollar, although the media loves that. Put on your pearls and three piece suits and run for Congress; become Americans," Caldicott said. "Use your intelligence and your creativity. Because when we die, it's all going to go. We'll take Mozart. and Picasso, Renoir and Rembrandt, and Rousseau and gothic cathedrals. So if the bombs start dropping, be able to look at your children and say 'I tried."'
