Shultz, assuring the NATO allies that the United States has an awesome and flexible nuclear arsenal, said Thursday the West "shouldn't be afraid to take yes for an answer to our own proposal" for missile reductions. In a move to persuade the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to approve the near-deal he worked out with Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, Shultz held open the possibility of trying to eliminate even the 100 medium-rane warheads the two sides have tentatively agreed to keep." - Similarly, President Eeagan said in a statement that destroying til rarheads was "the preferred outcome" of the United Etaies and its allies. The Svvicis vrould keep the 100 warheads In Asia, targeted oa i Jr.?aii and other Asian countries that have pressured this United States to get them removed. The 100 U.S. warheads might be kept in Alaska, although the Soviets are fighting hard to shift them elsewhere in America. ' Shultz last week delayed a final response to Gorba chev until the allies could consider the prospective U.S. pact with Moscow. Some NATO officials, as well as iV 7" - Fv,; several members of Congress, have expressed concern about not deploying new U.S. nuclear weapons in West ern Europe. . Gorbachev offered also to destroy the 50 shorter range launchers the Soviets keep in East Germany and Czechs lovakia, and indicated that another 80 launchers on Soviet territory also might be dismantled.

ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1687 DAILY NEBRASKAN WASHINGTON - Challenging Rea gan administration assumptions about "Star Wars," a group of two American physicists said Thursday that at least a decade of research is needed to deter mine whether high-energy lasers and particle beams can be used to knock down enemy missiles in space. In a 422-page technical study, 17 members of the American Physical Society delivered the sharpest scien tific challenge yet to administration plans to deploy space- and ground-, based ballistic missile defenses as early as 199. "On purely scientific and engineer ing criteria, one would not mke a decision on early deployment But in the International arena, there are other forces," said Kumar Patel, a physicist at AT&T Bell Laboratories end co chairman of the study group. . . Another author, Jeremiah Sullivan of the University of Illinois at Urbana, said deployment in the early or mid 1990s would be "a gamble." "Even in the best of circumstances, a decade or more of intensive research would be required just to provide the technical knowledge needed for an informed decision about the potential effectiveness and survivability" of las ers and other "directed energy wea pons," the report said. . . .a substantial amount of research needs to be done before an informed judg ment can be made about the effec tivencca and the reliability and curvivabUlty of gucIi wearjcna if and when tl:cy are deployed mmmmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmimmmmmm A Pentagon critique said the report's conclusions were "subjective and unduly pessimistic about our capability to bring to fruition the specific technolo gies needed for a full-scale develop ment decision in the 1990s." The Pentagon's Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, which directs Star Wars research, said in a statement that recent breakthroughs have brought some high-energy devices closer to the weapons stage. judson automotive factory trained foreign car specialists 27th & T Lincoln, Nebraska 475-9022 Food For Thought?
