Reagan: Soviets must change their ways
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Presi
dent Reagan, five weeks before meet
ing with Mikhail Gorbachev, said
Thursday that the United States and
the Soviet Union cannot have “a nor
mal relationship” unless Moscow
changes its ways and stops interfering
in nations such as Afghanistan.
Reagan, in a wide-ranging speech
on U.S.-Soviet lies, listed a variety of
concerns for both superpowers, in
cluding arms control, the famine rav
aging Ethiopia and the peace process
in Central America.
On arms control, the president
urged the Senate to ratify the treaty
banning medium-range nuclear mis
siles, signed at the last U.S.-Soviet
summit, before he and the Soviet
Communist Party general secretary
meet May 29 in Moscow.
He spoke hours after Senate ma
jority Leader Robert C. Byrd said the
Senate won’t rush to ratify the treaty
despite White House pressure to do so
by the summit
The treaty is not scheduled to go to
the Senate floor until May 9.
As for relations with a nation
Reagan once labeled “the evil em
pire,” he said that “the next few
months will be no time for compla
cency, no time to sit back and con
gratulate ourselves.”
The president said the Soviet Un
ion can build trust only when it stops
interfering in other nations and im
proves this record of human rights.
“Our policy is intended to nurture
what you might call more normal
relations between East and West,”
Reagan said.
He said that a Soviet Union that
tramples on the rights of its own
people “can never have truly normal
relations with the United States and
the rest of the free world.
“Neither can a Soviet Union that is
always trying to push its way into
other countries ever have a normal
relationship with us.”
Taking a positive note, Reagan
said U.S.-Soviet relations “have
taken a dramatic turn, into a period of
realistic engagement . . . The INF
treaty is now a reality and now the
Senate should give its consent to rati
fication.”
He added that progress has been
made on limiting strategic weapons
as well.
Bush, Dukakis, Jackson to visit Nebraska
The Nebraska presidential pri
mary will bring Republican Vice
President George Bush and Demo
crats Mike Dukakis and Jesse Jackson
to the state in the days ahead.
However, it isn’t likely that any of
the candidates will spend more than a
day or so in the Comhusker state. And
none plan to spend more than a
comparative pittance on t he Nebraska
race, according to their campaign
officials.
Former Gov. Charles Thone will
lead the Bush campaign for the May
10 primary. He’s confident the vice
president will win the GOP nomina
tion and carry Nebraska and the entire
Midwest in November.
Bush supporters have good reason
for optimism. No Democrat has car
ried Nebraska in a presidential elec
tion since the state went to Lyndon
Johnson in 1964.
Bush will attend a May 6 dinner in
Lincoln, Thone said.
Thone, a long supporter and ac
quaintance of President Reagan, said
he had advised Bush to take his cues
on agricultural matters from Kansas
Sen. Bob Dole, who has dropped out
of the GOP race.
“Dole comes from farm country
and he has served on the House and
the Senate ag committees and veiy
few people know those federal crop
programs as well as Bob Dole,”
Thone said. “More importantly, his
agriculture philosophy is good for
agriculture/
Helen Boosalis, the former Lin
coln mayor who was the Democratic
nominee for governor in 1986,isaco
chairperson for Dukakis’s campaign.
“There are farms in Massachusetts
and Mike Dukakis has been very
supportive of agriculture. .. He has
spent a lot of time in rural areas,” she
said. “He is an intelligent, caring
person and he has a lot of valuable
experience and he has genuine leader
ship qualities.”

Gore pulls from Democratic race
WASHINGTON — Sen. Albert
Gore Jr. said Thursday he would sus
pend his campaign for the 1988
Democratic presidential nomination
and said he would do “everything I
can” to elect a Democrat as the next
president.
In a graceful exit, Gore said he
would technically remain a candidate
to permit his delegates to attend the
Democratic National Convention.
But, he said in a room crowded
with supporters, “I want no part of a
stop Jackson or stop Dukakis move
ment. The only man I want to stop is
George Bush and we’re going to stop
George Bush.”
Gore exited with a joke after a
failed campaign that he said lasted 10
months and a million miles.
‘‘I was going great until I turned
40,” the Tennessee senator said.
