Page 4-Saturday, July 24, 1982-The Michigan Daily Shultz believes U.S. has ability to deter attaek WASHINGTON (AP)- Secretary of State George Shultz says he is disturbed by growing Soviet military might, but believes the United States "most assuredly" has the power to deter a nuclear attack. In response to questions by Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.), Shultz declined to say directly whether he would rather have at his disposal the U.S. or the Soviet nuclear arsenal. But he added, "If we do not succeed with modernization and arms control efforts, the answer to your question will be clear." IN SOME critical areas, such as in- tercontinental ballistic missiles and medium-range missiles in Europe, Shultz said, the Soviet Union "has ad- vantages over the United States that are not offset by U.S. capabilities in other areas." Pell, the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, submitted the questions during Shultz's confirmation hearing last week. The secretary was confirmed unanimously by the Senate July 15. A committee spokesman said Shultz's written answers to Pell's questions were received late Thursday. SHULTZ SAID he agreed with President Reagan's March 31 statement that the Soviets "have a definite margin of superiority, enough so there is a risk..." "This does not mean our nuclear deterrent is not effective today, for it most assuredly is," he added. But Shultz said he was "disturbed by trends in the strategic balance during the past decade which decidedly have not been in our favor." To a question about the wisdom of "the verbal disarmament inherent in conceding superiority" to the Soviets, Shultz replied: "Saying that we are stronger than we really are may succeed in convincing ourselves. Deterrence, however, depends on convincing the Soviets. This requires real capabilities in being, capabilities that can be understood by the Soviet Union." As to which nation's nuclear arsenal would be better to have, Shultz said it was a complex question which "tends to obscure the real strategic issues."

Roger Edde of the Neutral Lebanon Movement attributed the breakdown to Israel's rejection of direct U.S.- PLO ties He said the PLO had come up with wording of a statement thought to be acceptable to the Reagan ad- ministration that would recognize Israel's right to exist. Issuance of such a statement would have preceded the establishment of of- ficial ties. Edde said a PLO representative, Khalid Hassan, had been in Washington to work out wording of a statement acceptable to the administration in which the PLO would recognize Israel's right to exist and accept the U.N. resolutions. Paris car bomb kills PLO rep. PARIS- The Palestine Liberation Organization's No. 2 man in France, killed yesterday in a car bombing attack outside his home, recently had shunned offers for police protection, the director of the PLO's Paris office said. Fadel el Dani, 37, deputy director of the PLO office that opened in Paris seven years ago, died when his car exploded moments after he climbed in alone to hesd to work. No group claimed responsibility. There were no other injuries in the bombing, the latest in a series of at- tacks on Palestinian officials in France in the past 10years. Details of the 8:20 a.m. explosion were unclear. Police were trying to determine ifa bomb was planted in Dani's car or if he was ambushed. There were conflicting reports from witnesses, with some claiming three men threw a bomb into Dani's car and then fled in another vehicle. Whaling group bans hunting, BRIGHTON, England- Championed by the United States, conser- vationists scored their biggest triumph of a 10-year fight to save whales yesterday when commercial hunting was banned worldwide for an indefinite period beginning in 1986. Japan and Norway vowed to continue whaling despite the ban. Soviet - Union, Brazil, Iceland, South Korea and Peru joined them in voting against it. Two dozen nations besides the United States voted for the ban, including Spain, which crossed over to the non-whaling camp in the International Whaling Commission for the first time. Five nations abstained. "This is the end of commercial whaling," declared naturalist Sir Peter Scott, the British delegation's chief scientific advisor. "Of course there will still be commercial whaling in the next three years, but the catch is bound to diminish every year." "Now we must assess and take action to conserve other whale stocks which come under the heading of aboriginal and subsistence whaling," Scott Polish soccer fans defect WARSAW, Poland- About half the 819 Poles who went to Spain for the World Cup soccer championship stayed abroad, and some even fled en route, the weekly newspaper Polityka said yesterday. It said the others returned to Poland, wracked by economic problems and under martial law since Dec. 13. Polityka described several scenes where people simply left tour buses along the route to Spain in June and July. In one instance, a youth named Kr- zysio, 25, stood up as the bus crossed the Italian border and said, "Can I flee now?" the paper reported. "We stopped, he wept for a while, took his rucksack and left," the paper quoted a tour guide as saying. A few miles further on, in Trieste, the guide said, two girls left, and six more people fled in Marseille, France. On another tour excursion, only 27 of 43 people in the group returned home. Crash kills Vic Morrow HOLLYWOOD- Veteran actor Vic Morrow was killed Friday in a freak helicopter crash along with two child actors during the-filming of a movie based on "The Twilight Zone" TV show. Morrow, 53, who gained fame in the 1960s as an infantryman in the World War II TV series "Combat," and Renee Shinn Chenn, 6, and My-ca Dinh Lee, 7, were cut down by the rotor blades of a crashing chartered Bell 205 military-type helicopter in a scene depicting a Vietnam War aerial attack. Witnesses said Morrow, with the children in his arms, was running across open ground mined with explosive charges to simulate machinegun fire when clods of dirt and rocks flew into the helicopter blades, disabling it. More than a hundred movie extras and production assistans making the film hased on the old television series watched in horror as the chopper plummeted and caught Morrow and the children in the main rotor blade. The chopper crashed into a river bed. Six other people, including the pilot and film crew aboard the helicopter, suffered minor injuries or shock, Morgan said. Two declined aid. Four were treated for minor cuts and bruises at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital in Valencia and released. Warner Bros. spokesman Robert Fried- man said the studio was investigating the accident and refused comment. By KRISTIN STAPLETON Members of a local artists' group yes- terday said that they will continue the lawsuit filed by black artist Jon Lockard against the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair Inc., for alleged racial discrimination and denial of due process in his exclusion from the fair. Lockard, whose case was publicized by famed civil rights attorney William Kunstler, filed a federal suit after being excluded from this year's fair because selection committee members deemed' his work unacceptable. Federal Judge Charles Joiner denied Lockard's request for an injunction on Wed- nesday. LESLIE KAMIL-Miller and Bamidele Demerson, co-chairpersons of the Committee for the Salvation of the Human Experience in the Visual Arts (SHEVA) claimed that the rights of Lockard - and other artists - are being violated by the jury system used by the fair's acceptance committee. Because the names and qualifications of committee members and the criteria they use to judge entries is confidential, the fair violates the right of due process, they said. Demersonsaid that although the identities of acceptance committee members were disclosed during court proceedings, their definition of criteria is still too "vague." Demerson also questioned the qualifications of selectioncommittee members and how they came to be classified as "peer" art reviewers. "I don't even know them by reputation. In fact, I don't think any of them have any reputations," Demerson said. Kamil-Miller said SHEVA members will circulate flyers among fair par- ticipants in an effort to enlist public support and raise funds that will be needed to pay legal fees and related ex- penses. Kunstler is expected to con- tinue as chief legal counsel for Lockard and SHEVA.
