The one-of-a-kind automobile Report: 'Star Wars' dangerous Eliot Brenner Press International WASHINGTON - President Rea­ gan's drive to develop a futuristic missile defense system could spur the arms race or even encourage the superpowers to adopt a "first strike" strategy, a congressional study warned Tuesday. The report on Reagan's multi- billion-dollar Strategic Defense Ini­ tiative -- popularly known as "Star Wars" -- was prepared by the Office of Technology Assessment, which studies complex issues for Congress, at the request of the House Armed Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., chairman of the House panel, noted the report says it will be virtually impossible to construct an impregnable "Star Wars" system, which would use space- and land-based high-tech weapons to knock down enemy missiles. The study also points out a danger if the system succeeds, Aspin said. Reagan has vo Wars research it with the So make nuclear weapons the report says such a move, howev­ er laudable, could increase the risk of a nuclear war. i Reagan has advocated SDI as an "umbrella" to shield the nation from attack and described it as a system that is aimed at weapons, not people. The problem is that blunting an enemy attack, even only partially, could provide an offensive edge by assuring survival of more of the nation's nuclear arsenal. Most U.S. and Soviets nuclear weapons are aimed at the other side's weapons. r .. "Here's the rub that the OTA study points out," Aspin said. "It we botl) have SDI and the Soviets attack first, our land-based forces will emerge, though in reduced num­ bers. Those reduced numbers will then have to penetrate the Soviet SDI. "But in reduced numbers, it's not by any means certain that we have a credible threat -- their SDI would have made our surviving deterrent no longer credible." "The irony here is that we could end up in the most destabilizing of situations imaginable -- one in which the superpower that seeks to strike first has the best chance of surviving," he said. "That is exactly the scenario we have been trying desperately to avoid." As for Reagan's high hopes for the defensive nature of the system, the study said, "Assured survival of the U.S. population appears impossible to achieve if the Soviets are deter­ mined to deny it to us." The OTA study noted the United States could now build a limited ground-based system to protect U.S. land-based missiles -- a ballistic missile defense, or BMD. No clear estimates on the cost of such a sys­ tem, or an SDI system, are avail­ able, but the administration has rr* TIME TO START I YOUR HOLIDAY CRAFTS! •WEEKLY CLASSES AVAILABLE • CRAFT SUPPLIES • SPECIALISTS IN SILK WEDDING FLOWERS • HALLOWEEN & CHRISTMAS FIGURINESTO PAINT AUAT budgeted $26 billion for Star Wars research between 1984-1989. In the absence of a new arms control treaty, and with develop­ ment of new defensive systems as Stars War research proceeds, the study said, the arms race could es­ calate and the search for an arms accord could become more complicated. OSLO, Norway (UPl) -- President Reagan, New Zealand Prime Minis­ ter David Lange and Holocaust au­ thor Elie Wiesel have been nominat­ ed for the 196S Nobel Peace Prize, the awards committee said Tuesday. Jakob Sverdrup, secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, ac­ knowledged that the three were among 60 Individuals and 39 organi­ zations nominated for the presti­ gious award. The winner will be announced In Oslo Oct. 11. The committee never publishes the list of candidates for the peace prize, worth $220,000, and merely acknowledges nominees whose iden­ tities have been made available to reporters. Sverdrup said he received. Rea­ gan's nomination among three let­ ters delivered to him hours before the Feb. 1 deadline. "We cannot say who nominated Reagan or for what reason," Sverdrup said. "That is kept secret under our rules." Sverdrup also acknowledged the nominations of Lange, an opponent of French nuclear testing in the Pa­ cific Ocean, and Wiesel, who in April pleaded with Reagan to call off his visit to a German World War II military cemetery where 47 Nazi SS officers were buried. Despite widespread criticism, Reagan attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the Bltburg military cemetery May 7 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. Reagan and Lange have been at odds since Lange's government ear­ lier in the year banned visits to its ports by nuclear armed or powered warships. The United States, which as a matter of policy refuses to say whether its ships carry nuclear arms, has responded by all port calls to New Zealand other forms of military cooperation with that country. Sverdrup said the nomination of Bob Geldoff of Ireland, lead singer of the Boomtown Rates and organiz­ er of the Live Aid rock concerts that raised millions of dollars for African famine relief, arrived after the deadline and would be considered in 1986. Last year's peace prize went to South African bishop Desmond Tutu, an outspoken black opponent of the white-ruled country's apartheid poli­ cy of racial discrimination and segregation. Under the 1886 will of Alfred No­ bel, the Swedish dynamite Inventor who Instituted the Nobel prises, can­ didates may be nominated by the awards committees, laureates, rep­ resentatives of any legislative body, or professors The four science awards will be announced in Stockholm, starting with the Medicine Prise Oct. 14, the Physics and Chemistry awards the next day, and the Economics Prize two days later. No date had been set by the Swed­ ish Academy for the announcement of the Literature Prize, usually an­ nounced on the second or third Thursday in October.
