European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 30, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 the stars and stripes june columns comments James Reston every nation must face up of fire of of terrorism its one of the Many ironies of Pur time that the nations of the world Are now involved in another spasm of International terrorism precisely on the 40th anniversary of the signing of the peace charter of the United and yet its not for Many of the nations that committed themselves to abide by its principles and code of conduct including not Only the soviet Union but also the United states Haven t done and Are now faced with the consequences of their nobody who was present at the creation of the United nations in san Francisco 40 years ago thought the United nations could solve conflicts Between the major nations when those nations could veto any Resolution against anything they no matter How but there was at least a Hope then that these so called principal Powers might cooperate to avoid or control events that threatened the common Security of their and sometimes they for the United states and the soviet Union agreed to Stop nuclear test explosions in the on the reasonable theory whatever else they thought they could they  control the which paid no attention to National Bor Ders and might carry the nuclear fallout to Friend and foe also they signed another agreement not to Export the Means of producing nuclear weapons to other which they have with a Promise that they would negotiate a nuclear arms limitation which after almost a generation they Haven what they didst imagine at san Francisco 40 years ago was How they could control what the russians encourage regional wars of National liberation or what they would do about the tactics of terror by Politi Cal or religious factions that blow up embassies and airliners and threaten the Security of International com i believe this latest outrage of taking hostages in Lebanon and Israel will be resolved fairly soon with hypocritical statements designed to save face and other parts of human but this problem of the terror of minorities within particularly the terror of religious who believe death is their eternal Salva cannot be ignored As a problem not to be solved by new gadgets in not Only modern but also modern Are for a few determined and knowledgeable crawling through the electric bowels of new could easily paralyse part of the this May be but we have to be careful about this present terrorists have demonstrated that they can get All the bombs they its probably beyond their finances to get atomic Justant Tif Vou Couo even at empt have to have to mop Tuy cruel tricks up xxx be considered but even if they get hold of atomic wastes and dump them into they could put whole cities at so whats to be done the vague thought Here is that president Reagan and Mikhail the soviet might take time out to cooperate on the control of this terror and which both of them de if Gorbachev used his influence in and Reagan appealed to this immediate crisis could probably be settled by the fourth of july not a bad Day for but to do so they would probably have to remember their treaty commitments under the charter of the United which in the confusion and Contention of the last 40 years they have the principles and rules of conduct for the nations As defined in the charter were As Clear and simple As the american declaration of they just said it was a bum idea to use military Force to Settle political and maybe it would be better for everybody concerned to stick to the rules of the United nations rather than blaming it for their Trou on the night before he died in warm on april president Roosevelt drafted a speech he hoped to deliver at the in san he never made but the draft of that speech has been the my he wrote in his own is More than an end of this War an end to the beginning of All the Only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of let us move Forward with a Strong and Active he died the next secure in his but the doubts c new York times David Broder space program for disabled has a kind of magic some of the major aerospace and defense companies arc about to get an offer they cannot battered Al most daily by disclosures of overpriced improper inflated profits and minimal they Are being Given a Chance for the chief executives of some 55 of the defens aerospace companies will soon be getting letters from the Seattle based concepts for Independent the let ters will ask for contributions of Money and Volunteer help to harness the High technology of the military and space pro Grams to improve the lives of severely handicapped and disabled people in this the goal is to raise an initial fund of million to million to create a 50 stale network of each served by a Tollfree 800phone where Handi capped people can seek help on their individual around each of these tech net the plan is to build a volunteers of defens aerospace engineers who will work on Conone with the equip ment that will improve the lives of the i heard about the project last week at a breakfast with Boeing trea surer Jack the chairman of concepts for Independent and his Best Friend in Secretary of health and human services Margaret the cause is a shared com passion for and after hearing in convinced they Are going to get what Pierce Calls the space program for the disabled off the they took some heat in the form of bad publicity when they went to the Paris air show last month to show off a government display of space based technology already being used for the but heckler insists that the of the Jarvik artificial robotic Ultra lightweight wheel chairs and programmable pacemakers and implantable Medicine was one of the hits of the she has caught some of the Emo Tion Pierce displays on this subject emotion rooted in the fact that his own son is severely disabled from an Auto Acci and like the realistic Massachusetts politician she heckler is perfectly willing to show her sales targets How it is in their self interest to go whatever it offers the this programs potential for the disabled is the tech net concept has been tested in South Carolina since with a Federal and pierces group is launching a More ambitious version of it partially staffed by handicapped peo ple in Seattle this but As heckler we Haven even scratched the surface of what might be the notion that technologies developed to allow humans to survive in space or in War can help disabled peo ple Cope with the challenges of their daily environment has both practical sense and emotional there is nothing More challenging than putting an Engineer up against a quadriplegic or a brain injured Pierce and see what you can devise that will help him theres a kind of magic in an example of what Pierce is talking about can be found at the Baltimore based volunteers for medical Engi most of whose 200 members Are employees of John stash the head of the said its Mem Bers have with Johns Hopkins medical an electronically driven device that gives people with severely damaged hands much greater control and flexibility of their Staehlin echoes Pierce judgement that the company is thrilled with the expansion of and its been great for the goal is to expand the tech net centers to Kansas and Penn Sylvania next and to All states by that Engineer or technician will try what Pierce Calls tin bending adapt ing existing technology to meet the individual the Volunteer take the unsolved problems Back to the shop for further i know from my own Pierce that there is tremendous satisfaction in add to that what Hekler Calls a Chance for salvation for a beleaguered Industry and you can see Why its an offer that cant be c Washington poll
