Bush defends Republican stand for strong Defense Department By MICHAEL PUTZEL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Vice President George Bush accused his Democratic opponents yesterday of advocating “peace through weakness” and “a defense policy with no backbone.” In remarks made at the opening of the Disabled American Veterans con vention in Washington, Bush said the Democrats Walter F. Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro “talk as if peace and weakness mean the same thing.” Bush addressed the disabled veter ans two days after President Reagan, in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Chicago, suggested indirect ly that Mondale was a “jackass” for opposing the major new weapons systems Reagan has advocated. White House Chief of Staff James Baker downplayed Reagan’s remark in an appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” Saying Reagan was quoting former Democratic House Speaker Sam Rayburn when he used the term, Baker said the BE A PART FROM THE START president “certainly did not intend to say that (jackass) with respect to the nominee on the other ticket, as some have suggested.” But Baker acknowledged that the president “thinks very little of the nuclear freeze; he thinks people who support a nuclear freeze are to some extent naive.” Bush, returning from a weekend at his vacation home in Maine, took a similar tack. Saying the Democratic challengers want to cancel the MX missile, B-l bomber and deployment of Pershing and cruise missiles in Western Eu rope at a time when the Soviets hold a numerical advantage in land-based missiles and bombers, Bush said the opponents “may advocate a defense policy with no backbone, but it’s not what President Reagan and I want.” The text of the speech mentioned Mondale and Ferraro by name, but Bush followed the example of his running mate and dropped the names of the Democatic nominees when he delivered his speech, referring to them only as “our opponents.” THE PENN STATE LION AMBASSADORS The Athletic Department Betty Bechtel John Black The Blue Band James Bogner Mike Brahosky The Cheerleaders Jo Chesworth Donna Clemson Walter Conti Mimi Coppersmith Roger Corey John Coyle William Crocken Ned Diehl Bill Farnsworth Fran Fisher Lee Giannone The Glee Club Maggie Glick It’s people like you that make it happen for Penn State! ‘lf any one still doesn’t take women seriously, let them wait until Nov. 6 and we’ll show them how serious you and I are.’ (Vw, f ) LION® Thank the following people for their help with: and MOST OF ALL THE CLASS OF ’88... Geraldine Ferraro The Reagan administration, he said, has “insisted the United States bargain from a position of strength. It seems to me just simple common sense that if you’re really serious about arms reduction, you fund those weapons systems that some want to scrap ” He called it a choice between “peace through • strength versus peace through weakness.” The vice president, in an aside, said he “didn’t come here to make a shrill, partisan speech.” But he seized the opportunity to tell the veterans about a film clip in a biographical movie about Bush shown at the Republican National Convention last week. The clip, which Bush said was shot from a submarine in the South Pacif ic in 1944, showed a naval aviator, identified as Bush. “I was accused by the political opposition of what they called epau let-flexing because of emphasizing the fact that I fought and was in combat,” Bush said. “If she’s (Ferra ro) troubled by that now, wait’ll No vember.” No business like . .
