Officially, Senate Foreign Rela

look forward to working with Sen.
Jesse Helms, R-N.C, as ranking
minority member.
? But unofficially, some say Helms
at the helm is causing a severe
division in the committee.

controlled the Senate. Helms, who
touted his. commitment to N.C.

-year state budget.
ffom Associated Press reports
! RALEIGH Gov. Jim Martin
unveiled Wednesday a $19.6 billion
slate budget proposal for fiscal 1987
9 that would give teachers and state
employees annual 4.5 percent pay
raises and set in motion statewide
implementation of the Career
Ladder Plan.
The budget, the first produced
entirely by the Republican gover
nor's administration, also seeks an
additional $457 million for public
schools under the Basic Education
Program, including funds to hire
new teachers and other personnel,
purchase textbooks and expand
remedial summer school.
Martin also calls for spending
increases to ease prison crowding,
expand anti-drug abuse programs,
implement his "blueprint" for eco
nomic development, repair and
construction of state buildings and
hire 100 new State Highway Patrol
officers.
: The budget calls for no major tax
increase and is based on the assump
tion that state revenues will rise by
16.6 percent over the biennium,
reflecting mild economic growth.
"This is the kind of budget that
deals with the needs of the state
within the available revenues,"
Martin said during a meeting of the
Advisory Budget Commission at
which he made his proposals public.
Martin told members of the
commission, which includes some of
the General Assembly's most
influential Democrats, that his
budget puts "the kind of emphasis
on public education that ypu want,"

Carolina.
"His career on the Agriculture
Committee was undistinguished,"
said a congressional official who
requested to remain anonymous.
"The majority of work on the farm
bill was done by other senators. The
National Soil Conservation Reserve
program, one of the real corner
stones of 1985, was authored by
Lugar."
When the 100th Congress con
vened in January, Helms decided to
fight for the position of ranking
minority member on the Foreign
Relations Committee.
Both men were appointed to the
committee the same day, but Helms
has been a senator longer than
recognition in the General Assembly' r
and in the public at large . . . that
Our public schools are an area where

priority."
Legislative leaders reacted cau
tiously to the governor's proposals.
"Basically, I think it sounds good,
but I reserve the right of not saying
1 endorse it wholeheartedly until I
digest it," said Sen. Harold Hardi
son, D-Lenoir, former State Appro
priations Committee chairman and
ABC member.
The ABC balked at Martin's
request for a quick endorsement of
his package, voting instead to study -it
and meet again Feb. 6 three
days before the 1987 General Assem
bly convenes.
Martin said he hoped the ABC
would give his budget at least
conditional approval, even though
the group is predominantly
Democratic.
"Think of the additional momen
tum that will give to it," Martin said.
"That doesn't mean the majority of
the General Assembly (will) ulti
mately go along with this, but it
would be a greaat advantage ... to
have support of the Advisory Budget
Commission."
But Rep. Billy Watkins, D
Granville, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, said
Martin should simply present the
package to the legislature without
seeking ABC backing, since the
commission's role in developing the
budget was greatly reduced .from,

Lugar. The choice was made by the
GOP senators at last Tuesday's
Republican caucus.
The seven Republican committee
members met before the caucus, and
voted unanimously for Lugar. Their
vote, however, was not considered
official. ; ) .
At the caucus the vote was 24-17
for Helms. ;
"Helms holds the chair," said
Lugar's press secretary Terry Holt,
"but does he hold the credibility?"
Committee fchairmart Sen. Clair
borne Pell,; D-R.L, said he looks
forward to working with Helms.
Because of Helms' uncompromis
ing nature and the obvious differ
ences of opinion he has with many
committee members, the unnamed
congressional official said the com
mittee may become a "debate
society" rather than an effective
committee.
Tom Lawton, press secretary for
Sen. Terry Sanford, D-N.C, said
there are two current schools of
thought in Washington about the
committee.
One is that it will be a debate
society and one is that Pell will be
much more, effective than people
think, he said.
"There may be disagreement,"
Lawton said, "in fact, there probably
will be, but that doesn't mean the
committee can't be effective."
Sanford is a member of the
committee.
Speaker dlisciisses problem of deterrence,
advocates world peace withotiit violence
By JEANN1E FARIS
Assistant State & National Editor
Non-violent "people power" is the
solution to international and domes
tic aggression. Gene Sharp told
about 250 people in Hanes Art
Center Wednesday night. -
"The means by which one tries to
gain defense have historically . . .
been military," but deterrence by
nuclear war is wrong, said Sharp,
a faculty member at the Center for
International Affairs at Harvard
University.
The speech, "National Defense
without War," was sponsored by the
UNC department of peace, war and
defense.
Deterrence works when a nation
can convince its enemy that it will
;i cause more damage than any aggres
sion can justify, he said. ,
i J "You can never guarantee that
Helms has a long record of
opposition to the foreign policies of
both Democratic and Republican
administrations.
He has criticized former President
Jimmy Carter for giving Panama
control of the Panama Canal and
accused Secretary of State George
Shultz of purging true conservatives
in the State Department.
"People take (Helms') political
power seriously," the unnamed
congressional official said, "but in
terms of being able to work with,
Sen. Helms does not have that kind
of personality."
Helms also takes a strong stance
on communism. He says it is his duty
"to do everything I can to cause this
government, and especially the U.S.
State Department, to abandon its
practice of trying to cozy up to the
Marxist countries around the world
with appeasement and compromise.
Sen. Frank Murkoswki, R-Ala.,
declined to comment specifically on
Helms. He said, "(I) look forward
to continuing to work under the new
chairman and the new ranking
minority member."
Sen. Paul Simon, D-IIL, has
worked with Helms in the past and
has no personal objections to work
ing with him again, said Dave Carle,
Simon's press secretary.
"However," Cale said, "he thinks
there may be more division on the
Republican side of the committee
than with the committee as a whole."
nuclear deterrence will succeed. It's
possible that it will fail, he said. "If
nuclear deterrence fails . . . this is
extraordinarily serious.
War, when the "good guys use
it for defense against aggression, is
a necessary evil, Sharp said. But the
aggressors usually have greater
military power.
"But we need to recognize there
is more than one way to get a job
done," he said. "There are other ways
of providing defense which are not
military."
Instead of using military violence
as a weapon, peaceful opponents
should use psychological, social,
economic and political weapons to
paralyze an oppressive system, he
said. :

Shultz puts Beirut off limits;
group claims kidnappings
From Associated Press reports
BEIRUT, Lebanon A group
calling itself Islamic Jihad for the
Liberation of Palestine claimed
responsibility Wednesday for the
abduction of three American
teachers and an Indian professor
from a west Beirut campus.
In London the Church of
England said the Archbishop of
Canterbury had received assuran
ces that his envoy, Terry Waite,
was safe and continuing his
mission to free foreign captives
in Lebanon.
In Washington on Wednesday,
the State Department ruled
Lebanon off-limits to U.S. citi
zens and warned that violators
could face up to five years in
prison.
Rebels leave station
, MANILA, Philippines The
defense minister announced
Thursday that 200 rebels had
agreed to end their two-day
occupation of a Manila broad

The end of the occupation,
which began early Tuesday, was
announced after a two-hour
meeting between military leaders
and Col. Oscar Canlas, who led

have organized to confront both
internal and external oppressors,
Sharp said.
Sharp cited the expulsion of
former Filipino president Ferdinand
Marcos as a successful non-violent
mobilization of the people. When
churches and election workers
denounced the elections as a fraud,
Marcos military support abandoned
him, rendering him powerless, he
said.
Sharp said his ideas about defense
are new and problematic, but they
deserve research and public discus
sion. He said the West can broadcast
messages of freedom and peaceful
struggle into Eastern Europe.

Gorbachev holds sway
MOSCOW The Communist
Party expelled two old guard
stalwarts from its highest ranks
Wednesday and gave Kremlin
leader Mikhail Gorbachev greater
control of the powerful secreta

reforms he proposed.
The two-day plenum of more
than 300 Central Committee
members did not fulfill the
rumors of dramatic leadership
changes, and its results suggested
disagreement over some pro

lengthy speech Tuesday.

He said his non-violent solution

places of the world where people
have reasonable goals but are living
with injustice and oppression.
"We can convince them that
there's a more effective way to

Non-violent struggle would be a
better way of reacting to state

bombing raids as the United States

said.
