2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, October 3, 1983 Arms production in Japan growing slowly, professor says By LIZ SAYLOR Staff Witter Japan is gradually taking steps toward independent arms production, but this ex pansion will continue to be slow, said Miles Fletcher, a UNC history professor. Japan now spends less than 1 percent of its gross national product on defense, and to the Japanese people, defense spending is a very emotional issue because of a strong memory of the 1945 atomic bomb ings at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. "They are the only people on earth who have experienced the effects of atomic weaponry," Fletcher said. "I detect among Japan's populus very little desire to join the ranks of the superpowers and throw their weight -around. Before 1945 they were a major power. They have con sciously tried to shy away from that." James White, a UNC political science professor, said, "There is no way (Japan) can be self-sufficient. It cannot be defend ed against someone who is really deter mined to destroy it. . .and yet, in another way, it can, because the only reason to at tack Japan would be to capture its economic strength. "I think what Japan's doing now is es sentially intelligent: practicing early warn ing, surveillance, developing anti-sub capabilities and relying on the United States for strategic security. Some people would describe this as 'remilitarization.' I think that's hogwash!" White said Japan's security involves keeping its ties with the U.S. friendly and with China, profitable, while keeping its relationship with Russia proper. Japan wants to establish an aircraft in dustry and would like to supply its own arms by the late 1990s, Fletcher said. And the United States would like to see Japan handle any threats occurring within 1,000 miles of its shores, thus limiting Japanese dependence on the United States for de fense. In Article 9 of Japan's constitution, however, Japan has declared a renuncia tion of war. In states, "Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever re nounce war as a sovereign right of the na tion and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. . . . Land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained.". Both Fletcher and White said a great deal of controversy revolves around Arti cle 9. White said the Supreme Court has never decided if Article 9 pertains to de fense. "The Japanese government still sticks to the notion of self-defense. But they're not making any active moves on that. . .The Japanese won't even contribute troops to the United Nations peace-keeping forces. They see that (protecting the world) as too broad." . Fletcher said, "It's a mistake to think Japan, or its prime minister, Yasuhiro Nakasone, wants to become a defensive power. There is a psychological restraint on the people since the atomic bombings and also because of Article 9." Two other factors inhibiting the Japanese arms buildup are the nation's budget deficit and the presence of the Socialist Party, which has argued for Japan to remain neutral and unarmed. "Japan is way ahead of the U.S. in elec tronics; the U.S. wants some of that," Fletcher said. "And I'd agree that in the near future, we'll see an expansion of Japanese companies into the defense area. This will have to be gradual. Not within the next five years, but maybe in the next ten years, arms exports could reach a noticeable level." White said friction between the U.S. and Japan will continue. "TheTJ.S. government would like,, them to build forces faster, and Japan will hold back. However, I think the atmosphere in Japan is changing. The Japanese are becoming more realistic about the world. This recent downing of the Korean jetliner. . .there were a lot of Japanese on that plane." In a newspaper from Manila, a Feb. 1 article quoted Nakasone as saying: "The Japanese islands should be like an unsink able aircraft carrier!" This was immediate ly criticized by opposition leaders in Japan, as well as Moscow, where Tass, the Soviets' news agency, warned of a "re taliatory strike" that could bring out a "national disaster" even more serious than the atomic bombings of 1945. "This just shows one of the typical problems of U.S.-Japan relations," White said. "That was a mistranslation. He (Nakasone) actually said a 'big' aircraft carrier. He was referring to the fact that Japan is a major base for air forces in the Far East. He meant it enables the U.S. to maintain military power in the East. "The Russians are absolutely paranoid about their own national security," White said. "If Japan ever decided to go on a full-tilt program of remilitarization, they (the Russians) would be terrified. That's typical of them." In Japan, said Fletcher, there are several different views of the Soviet Union. "Some members of the Liberal Demo cratic Party are very right-wing and fear the Soviet Union as a major threat. Others feel they should handle the Soviet Union by cooperation as much as possible, for example, economically. And then there is the left-wing Socialist Party, which favors friendly relations with the Soviet Union, as well as an unarmed Japan." Fletcher said, "In general, the Soviet Union is not very popular. Most Japanese don't know or trust the Soviet Union. They're not sure that it's a deadly threat. "Japan remains solidly in the security treaty with the U.S.," Fletcher said. "It supports the U.S. in diplomacy against the Soviet Union. But in the last decade, the U.S. position in Asia has weakened, while the Soviets' have strengthened. Japan wonders how long they should stay with the U.S. alliance, whether they should be more friendly to the Soviet Union, if they should be more independent, or whether they should go neutral and unarm. So Japan continues to take small steps toward independence." Japanese major calls for hike in defense spending By FRANK PROCTOR Staff Writer Japan can't make a meaningful defense to counter the Soviet threat without raising defense spending, Major Shigeki Nishimura said Tuesday afternoon in Hamilton Hall. Nishimura is a major in the Japan Self-Defense ground forces who has spent three years in the United States stu dying the Soviet defense buildup in the Far East since 1978 and its implications for Japan. Nishimura said the buildup has included the moderni zation of the Soviet Pacific Air Force, the modernization of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and the implacement of 108 launchers for SS-20 medium-range nuclear missiles. These improved forces are coordinated by a new Far East High Command in Vladivostok on the Pacific coast of the Soviet Union. This buildup b far beyond anything the Soviet Union would need to defend its tense border with China, Nishimura said, since Chinese military equipment is ob solete. He instead believes the Soviet Union is trying to improve and protect its submarine-launched nuclear mis sile capability, which will be vital in the final stages of any superpower conflict. A powerful Far Eastern force is the key to preserving Soviet interests in Indochina, Afghanistan and the Middle East, he said. In this sense, the situation in the Far East is similar to that in northwestern Europe. Just as Scandinavia is in a position to threaten Soviet nuclear missile submarines in the Barents Sea and the Baltic Sea, Japan can threaten similar forces in the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk, said Nishimura. "Soviet contingency plans are assumed to include at least Hokkaido (the northernmost of the Japanese islands) in the target area for an attack," he said. Nishimura add ed that the Russians have tried to gain control of this area several times since 1861. However, the Japanese constitution renounces war and limits defense spending to 1 percent of gross national pro duct. Although the United States has begun pressuring Japan to raise defense spending, recent public opinion polls show that 60 percent of the Japanese people oppose raising it. Nishimura said, "Any realistic analysis reaches the same conclusion the 1 percent limit is a serious restraint." No one is certain exactly what spending increases would be necessary, he said, but a civilian research group esti mated defense needs at between 2 percent and 2Vi percent of GNP. Nishimura's research in the United States, first with the Rand Corporation and later with the Japan Institute at Harvard, was financed by a scholarship from the Ford Foundation. He said he was expressing views he had developed over three years of research and was not speak ing as a representative of the Japanese government.

"It's very much related to the surrounding environment." It is also energy-efficient, but Trinkaus has been unable to get funding for the house. "We tried to get financing on it for about eight years," he says. "We tried everything federal grants, state grants,.... Even our friends back in Connecticut, who are now fat and wealthy, didn't fed it was worth the investment. But we're doing it." ' Instead, help has come from a small group of area residents who formed a spiritual association three years ago. One member contributed land to a foundation the group is forming, and Trinkaus is building on it. Another group member, B.B. Danzinger, says Trinkaus is an inspiration to the others. "Each of us is designing his own project," she says, "but we're not all nearly as talented as he is. He's a very talented architect, as you can tell from his house "He is deeply spiritual," Danzinger says. "He says that it's easier for him to be closer to God by being out in the environment, and it seems to renew him every day." Jndeed, Trinkaus seems at ease in the woods.

Eight-foot-deep floodwaters surged through southern Arizona on Sunday, stranding hun dreds of people on rooftops and leav ing nine dead or missing, including two crewmen killed in a helicopter crash during a rescue mission for a mother and baby. More rain pelted the state Sunday, the day after helicopters plucked stranded residents from rooftops in Tucson and the hard-hit mining town of Clifton. Gov. Bruce Babbitt, who has declared a statewide emergency, flew over southern Arizona on Sunday to survey the swirling floods that have driven hundreds from their homes. More than half of Clifton was swept away by floodwaters from the San Francisco River, authorities said. Just under 6 inches of rain fell there during a 36-hour period, the National Weather Service said Sunday. "There is nothing left of Clifton," an unidentified rescue helicopter pilot reported. Staff Sgt. Jim Rcthlisberger of the Arizona National Guard said some businesses in downtown Clifton were under as much as 8 feet of water. All drinking water in Clifton, Safford and Pima was reported contaminated. Red Cross units were helping hundreds of people evacuate their homes and go to local school and government facilities. Meanwhile, 500 people were evacuated in Tucson as roads disap peared under water, and hundreds more were stranded. More than 4 inches fell on the area in a 36-hour period, and rising waters from the San ta Cruz River swept away at least four homes. CHICAGO The Chicago Teachers Union called for a strike Sun day after last-minute negotiations failed to break an impasse over salary increases, halting classes today for 420,000 students in the nation's third largest school district. The union extended by 45 minutes a Sunday noon deadline on the strike call while one final bargaining session the 60th meeting between the union and the Board of Education was conducted. But union President Robert Healey made the work stoppage official after saying the Board of Education failed to offer salary increases for the union's 28,000 members. The strike was authorized last month. The board made no immediate com ment, but earlier had sent letters in English and Spanish to parents telling them not to send their children to school if there was a strike. ' " ' ' 1 ' Schools Superintendent Ruth Love said the board "believes" teachers need a salary increase, but denied in a pre pared statement Sunday that she ever told Healey that salary hikes should be tied to increased class sizes and teacher layoffs. RALEIGH Proposals to increase North Carolina teacher salaries by 15 percent have alarmed other state em ployees, and some legislators say the raises will never be approved. Craig Phillips, state superintendent of schools, has proposed a six-point plan that would raise education person nel salaries by a total of $200 million to keep qualified teachers from being lured away by industry. Asked whether the Legislature was likely to approve the plan, House Speaker Liston Ramsey, D Madison, said, "No way." He also said that all state employees are entitled to the same raise but that a 15 percent raise for all would be far too expensive. "We do not believe that the Legisla ture is going to give one group of public employees a higher raise than another group," said Emmett W. Burden, ex ecutive director of the N.C. State Employees Association, which represents 28,000 state workers. The Chapel Hill Town Council listened to a recommendation by the manager last week to turn down a pro posal limiting dwelling units per acre . because it would promote larger rather than smaller living units. Mike Jennings, who spoke for the town manager at the public hearing, did not recommend the proposal to the council because he said an increasing amount of people want to live alone or with one other person. Putting on a cap of 15 dwelling units per acre would not help small households, Jennings said, but would result in larger units. Building small units would make more units available to students, he said. But students, who use the units, said council member R.D. Smith, usually share their apartments. "Ain't no way in God's world four people can live comfortably (in such units)," he said. Smith cited his own son's apartment as an example. . Mayor Joe Nassif said no one would build big units anyway because they are not in demand. Putting a cap on the number of units per acre, he said, would allow the situation to govern itself. The proposal was referred to the manager with 30 additional days al lowed for preparing a presentation to the council. - The council also referred a proposal which would limit secondary height restrictions to 50 feet. A reception celebrating the 10th an niversary of the Sickle Cell Program highlighted Sickle Cell Month, which ran through September. The three members of the N.C. General Assem bly who helped to establish the pro gram were honored at the banquet held Sept. 22 in the Rotunda of the capitol building in Raleigh. "Sickle" Cell ' Month4 went " great," said George Cherry, manager of the Sickle Cell Program, which is located in the Department of Human Resources' Division of Health Services. 'During the month, each sickle cell community center held a special event in com memoration of the anniversary," Cherry added. Educational sessions, testing for the disease, and several press conferences were some of the events held statewide. g$ 2.00 off"" Expires Oct. 25, 1983""$ 2.00 offB2 m ii to o o o 3 UUCAjIKO IJlnJU o o 403 W.
