L B—The Daily Collegian Thursday, April 21, 1983 state/nation/world MX missile essential to keep Soviet Union from being obnoxious By LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Two ranking Cabinet members put the MX hard sell on Congress yesterday, saying it is essential to deploy the new missile because "the weaker we are the more bold and obnoxious" becomes the Soviet Union. But a trio of Democrats made clear they were not buying the wares of Defense Secretary Caspar W. Wein berger and Secretary of State George Shultz. "Despite the president's super salesmanship that is being launched here today, I cannot support the rec ommendations," said Sen. James Exon, D-Neb. "It simply makes no sense to me." Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said the administration's plan to put 100 mis siles in fixed and vulnerable holes Drug epideniic threatens country's mental health By FRED BAYLES Associated Press Writer BOSTON The increase in divorce and single-parent households may be partly to blame for an epidemic of drug use that threatens the nation's physical and mental health, a Har vard researcher says. "There appears to , be something going on in our society that we don't understand that has to do with a vast portion' of our population snorting, sniffing, ingesting a wide assortment of psychoactive drugs," said Armand M. Nicholi Jr. Nicholi, a psychiatrist at Massa chusetts General Hospital and Har vard Medical School, said his review of research by various groups and federal agencies found a steady in crease of drug abuse over the past 20 years. . 9 He studied findings of the National AEII presents Doug Hostetler speaking on Career , Planning :OOpm Thursday, April 21 211 HDev-East Brothers: Remember your raffle money THE DELI _ • elt Thurs, ii• ••••• ••••••••••••••••••• e • • • Pick p a Flick. • • ~ •• . : Reviews to help you choose, •• • • , ads define the times • • .3,the,Collegian • • • • • • "turns logic on its head." "It doesn't deter," he said. "It does the opposite." Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said that by Weinberger's own testi mony the so-called window of vulner ablity still exists "and basically these weapons systems would be sitting ducks." Weinberger and Shultz insisted to the Senate Armed Service Committee that the weapon's military value is , that it would enable the United States to match the capability of the Soviet Union to hit and destroy hardened targets with great accuracy. Politically, they said, it would dem onstrate the nation's will and deter mination to defend itself and its allies.

This increase in drug use followed a jump in the nation's divorce rate, he said in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Nicoli cited figures from the Na tional Academy of Sciences that said the nation's divorce rate started in creasing in 1958, hitting 400,000 di vorces a year by 1960. In 1967 the number of divorces was over 500,000 a year and eight yeari later there were 1 million a year. "The character traits of drug users parallel the same kinds of traits that we know are common among chil dren that grow up with one or both parents absent," he said in an inter view. Other traits common to drug users and children from broken families, he said; include anger. Walesa declares workers' right to observe May Day, their way By BRYAN BRUMLEY Associated Press Writer GDANSK, Poland Lech Walesa declared yes terday that the working class has a right to observe May Day any way it wants, despite a governinent warning that Solidarity's call for protests on the holiday may jeopardize the pope's upcoining visit. "I am a worker. I will celebrate May Day in a, working man's way, but I cannot tell you exactly how," Walesa said at a news conference at his Gdansk apartment.

The leader of the outlawed Solidarity labor union also said he hoped to meet with Polish-born Pope John Paul II during his scheduled June 16-22 visit. May 1, the international labor observance, is a major holiday in the Soviet bloc, where it tradition ally is marked with large, officially orchestrated and controlled marches of workers through main city streets.

"If not, I will seek more effective means," said Walesa, declining to specify what tactics he might propose. Last May Day, the Solidarity underground staged peaceful mass rallies in more than a dozen Polish cities in the first major public protest of the December 1981 declaration of martial law. Authori ties suspended Solidarity in the military crack down, and interned most of its top leadership., Walesa reportedly held a clandestine meeting with Solidarity's fugitive leaders April 9-11, but has declined to endorse publicly the underground's call for protest marches' this May 1.. state news briefs Emissions bill stalled in committee HARRISBURG (AP) Talks on the controversial auto emis sions bill broke off yesterday, with House and Senate negotiators as far apart as when they started and no new meetings scheduled. The three Republican conferees have not budged on the Thorn burgh administration's position that any kind of customer re imbursement for emissions repairs is a bad precedent and ,unacceptable. The two House Democrats were just as insistent on approving some type of reimbursement, at least for the poor. With the bill stuck in the conference committee, a federal judge's freeze on nearly $5OO million in federal highway funds continues, with losses piling tip as the construction season arrives. U.S. District Judge Louis Bechtle ordered the freeze because of the state's failure to institute a limited auto emissions program agreed to under a 1978 consent decree. The inspections would be required of 3.1 million cars in the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allentown areas. Juries give less sympathy to. drunks HARRISBURG (AP) It's too soon to tell whether Pthinsylva nia's new drunk driving law is effective, but since its enactment, juries have had much less sympathy towards offenders, legislators learned yesterday The new law, which took effect in January, levies stiff penalties for driving under the influence and mandates a three-year Mini mum prison term for any drunken driver convicted of vehicular homicide. After just three months, officials said yesterday too few cases have reached the courts to test effectiveness of the new law. But the public's attitude, in trial juries and among drivers, seems to be changing, lawmakers learned at a workshop on the drunken driving law David Heckler, counsel to the Senate Finance Committee, said the law has made the public more sensitive to the hazSrds of drunken driving. • "It's no longer something you joke about. It is unacceptable, dangerous behavior," he said. nation news briefs GM announces high quarterly profit DETROIT (AP) General Motors Corp., bolstered by profitable subsidiaries and investment income, reported yesterday net earn ings of $653.1 million in the first three months of this year, its .best quarterly showingvin nearly four years.

Volcker yesterday that he has not decided whether to replace_him as head of the nation's central bank, senior White House officials said. As Reagan left a White House 'meeting on the economy attended by Volcker, he whispered in the Fed chairman's ear that he had "simply ,not addressed this issue yet" of whether to name a new chairman when Volcker's four-year term expires in August, according to the officials.

Argentines denied visit to Falklands LONDON (AP) The government said yesterday it won't allow a group of Argentines to visit war graves in the Falkland Islands next month - because the Red Cross has withdrawn its participation 01500 in the trip.

McCartney will appeal child support iLONDON (AP) Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney said yesterday he will appeal a West German court order that he pay $287 a month in child support to a girl who claims to be his illegitimate daughter.

"I am willing to make myself available at any time to have as many blood tests as the German authorities wish," the singer said. Erika Huebers, the girl's mother, told the court she was McCart ney's lover in the early 1960 s when the then-little-known musician performed at a club in Hamburg.
