Bush's strategic weapons cuts meet with hope and skepticism By Anna Griffin Staff Writer President Bush's call for major cuts in the U.S. military arsenal has been hailed as a substantial effort toward a peaceful future, yet critics question the overall practicality and underlying po litical motivations of the proposals. Speaking in an address to the Ameri can public Friday night, Bush announced his plans to encourage streamlining and reorganizing the military by cutting and combining several extensive nuclear and conventional weapons systems. "This new force will be versatile, able to respond to world challenges old and new," Bush said. "The world has changed at a fantastic pace with each day writing a fresh page of history before yesterday's ink has even dried." Bush's call for the changes was trig gered by the spread of democracy through Eastern Europe and by the re cent Soviet coup attempt which has left the former superpower mired in politi cal and economic disorder. "The Soviet Union was the only su perpower that could destroy us," said Joel Schwartz, UNC political science professor. "There's just no point in hav ing (European-based nuclear weapons) anymore." Although the call for unilateral cuts by the U.S. met with general worldwide acclaim, many experts believe Bush's "challenge" to the Soviet Union repre sents a political ploy rather than a con crete move toward peace. "This isn't some grandiose move for peace," said retired Adm. Edward Carroll, a former naval officer now employed at the Center for Defense Information. "What you are seeing is a skilled, adroit politician trying to get i tamm 1 what he wants." The president discussed negotiating with the U.S.S.R. to cut land-based, multiple-warhead missiles. Ironically, these make up the largest part of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, Carroll said. "Why would they agree to cut the largest part of their force in exchange for a mere token from the U.S.?" Carroll asked. Bush did not mention cutting submarine-based, multiple-warhead missiles, a key to the U.S. nuclear strategy. It may be some time before the Sovi ets are able to begin any negotiating, said Gorgio Lubzak, press spokesman for the Soviet embassy. "President Gorbachev did react posi tively to the proposals," Lubzak said. "But it is much too early to discuss actual numbers." But the real problem may be that Gorbachev is still fighting for control of the central government and the mili tary, Schwartz said. "Even if Gorbachev and the central government respond positively, I'm not sure if they are politically in a position to reciprocate," Schwartz said. The first step in Bush's plan, the downgrading of U.S. B-52 and B-l bombers from alert status, was carried out by Defense Secretary Dick Cheney Saturday morning. The president also called for the el imi nation of ground-launched, short-range nuclear weapons based in Europe, the withdrawal of all intercontinental bal listic missiles, the abandonment of all rail-based MX missiles and the creation of a central strategic command designed to make U.S. nuclear capabilities more Ihe fParCor 'Biftiards&TuB AMERICAN POOL LEAGUE We Are Now Forming Teams For Our Fall League Session Bring Some Freinds And Join The FUN!

Soviet officials are scheduled tomeet with representatives of the U.S. State. Department Oct. 9 to discuss the implex mentation of some of Bush's proposals in the aftermath of the Strategic Armi Reduction Treaty. ': START, which would reduce super-; power forces by almost one-third, has been signed by both Bush and Gorbachev but has not yet been ratified by Congress. "START represents a beginning,''' said Louis Harrisburg, spokesman for the Department of Defense. "But the cuts President Bush has suggested would do much more in terms of helping us move closer and closer to guaranteed peace." Bush's cuts would leave room for further expansion of the strategic de fense initiative former President Reagan's so-called "star wars" program and the B-2 bomber. 'The United States is going bankrupt on the systems we want to build," Carroll said. "We're some $3 billion in debt because of the overinvestment in nuclear systems." Even the Defense Department ac knowledges that the proposed cuts prob ably will not affect the defense budget. "As of yet we can't predict any cuts in the budget," Harrisburg said. "You can't just expect to cut some weapons and get money back. There has to be some give and take. Changes will take years to install." Bush's strategy would create a U.S. "world police force," Carroll said. "That's Bush's yellow ribbon strat egy watch the nightly news and see how our boys are doing in Korea or Afghanistan or wherever we send them," Carroll said "Bush wants us to be the first to respond with military force to any regional conflict. We're going to be tying yellow ribbons around trees forever."

Correction The Sept. 30 Daily Tar Heel article "Former Israeli general supports re turn of West Bank for peace" incor rectly stated that the United Nations imposed partition on Israel in 1977. Israel was partitioned in the Camp David accords, but the partition was ignored by Israel's prime minister. The speaker, Yehoshafat Harkabi, also served as an adviser on intelli gence to only Prime Minister Menachem Begin. The DTH regrets the error.
