European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 11, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 3 10 columns the stars and stripes wednesday. June 11. 1986 Mary Mcgrory does chernobyl s nuclear Cloud have Silver lining some people profess to Sec a Silver lining in the Cloud Hal Rose Over the crippled soviet nuclear Plant at Click Nobuji. They say Hal the soviet people arc Al list conscious of he dangers of nuclear firkin and will question inc Cavalier Altitude of the authorities toward safely. And if they do Richard pipes. Harvard history professor and president Reagan s former National Security found aide speaking at o birthday parly for dissenter Andrei Sakharov recounted the Story of a group of soviet workers who. Prior to the i William Safire diced positive fallout. While the radiation readings All from outside the soviet Union were still High Reagan administration officials were crowing about the superiority of . Plant technology and the importance of never trusting the russians on a nuclear arms Accord. They lied about their Accident they would lie about their stockpiles. Gorbachev s television address confirmed ail they knew about he lamentable system its clumsiness rigidity incompetence inc soviets inability to Deal with disaster or with truth. For the liberals the lesson of chernobyl is quite different. They Are taking instruction from or. Robert Gale the grave fair haired Young surgeon from los Angeles who flew to Moscow to do Bone marrow transplant operations on soviet victims. Gale has been on television explaining the need for International cooperation in these mailers. He refuses to cast any aspersion on the Quality of soviet medical competence or facilities. He says Over and Over again in Eft eco Hal we Are All in it together and that no one has the medical capability to Deal with Afflic Tion of thai magnitude. There s no single country bal could handle this kind of disaster Gale said. He and his team which included an israeli expert were Able to perform Only 16 operations of the countless number needed. He estimated there could be 100,000 cases of radiation sickness. He does Vrtol need la add that there is no escape no privilege when Power Lurns lethal. What he is really telling us is that in a nuclear War there would be no Hope of survival. In a nuclear Exchange there would be no planes to Fly in foreign doctors no trains to Lake victims from explosion site 10 metropol Itan Hospital no hospitals no operating rooms no doctors no nurses. How much of this is seeping into people s minds How arc they dealing with it How will they express their conclusions this is All to be discovered. In one Turner of Ibe world the chernobyl fallout can be tracked with fair exactitude. In new Hampshire the inhabitants were in a slate of near frenzy Over being Fin a just of potential nuclear waste dump Sites. New Hampshire gov. John Sununu a technology Buff was opposed to the dump but Al the same Lime heart and soul for the opening of Scab Roak � nuclear Plant of the Atlantic com. Considered unbeatable in the upcoming election six months ago Sununu now faces three democratic opponents All of them run Ning on a Flat out anti nuke platform. Chernobyl is an Issue in the new Hamp Shire Campaign. Maybe the Silver lining is that we will at last debate the question of nuclear Power and look Al the arms race while we Are about in. 1c Universal Pryll Syndicate Israel showing signs of Security uncontrolled when does a democracy s need for Security begin to undermine its principles americans faced that terrible question when Lincoln s wartime policy of arbitrary arrest was struck Down by the supreme court after the civil War we faced it again in the mid-1970s, when the hiring of Assas sins to murder a foreign dictator was belatedly condemned and outlawed we face it again today As spymaster threaten journalists Wilh jail terms for daring to reveal secrets our enemies have already stolen. Israel faces a similar moral dilemma in two cases one is a cause celebre the other a time bomb. The Case roiling Israel today concerns the accusation thai two palestinian terrorists. Captured after hijacking a bus on a Mission of murder were illegally lulled by members of Shin Beth Israel i super Fri. Several Gutsy Shin Beth officials went to lie prime minister to protest the coverup of this incident by the head of their Agency. When Peres refused to confront his chief of internal Security a Patriot who has de voted his life to inc defense against terror the whistle blowers went to the Independent attorney general who started to conduct an Arvesu gation and was fired by the cab Mel most israelis Are thankful for the Security provided by Shin Beth. Like most american they would not Blanch at the sight of terrorists being treated like wild animals and if n third degree was needed to extract the name of a school about to be bombed most would turn a Blind Eye to torture to save the children Bui what becomes of a nation Hal con Dones execution before indictment if thai is what took place no Mailer How extenuating the circumstance the ancient saying in the midst of War the Laws full silent cannot be accepted by a people who led the world in the codification of moral Law that Issue is what profoundly troubles israelis now. What does not yet trouble them bal should is the second example of Security uncontrolled the shameful attempt to steal secrets from the United states about Arab military capabilities known As the Pollard affair. A civilian working far the a Navy a jew was reportedly hired by israeli Intelli gence when he was caught two israeli Dipio to fits scurried Home. Prime minister Perez Dis avowed the scheme As an isolated instance of unauthorized behaviour by an agent operating on his own apologized to the United slates and permitted the interrogation of the supposedly rogue spymaster. No israeli was prosecuted everyone hoped he affair would blow Over. But some of us protested this obvious coverup. Noth ing could be More self defeating than to use american Aid Money to finance the stealing of american secrets moreover Ami sem ites were Given new a my urn Ion for their phony charges of dual loyalty at All United Stales jews. Jonathan Jay pot land has apparently been talking to save bin skin. Lawmen in Washington told the los an Geles times that the accused spy Las been implicating others i m told list or least one other american will be arrested and an israeli officer accused. The state department counsel Abraham Sofaer has transmitted some of the allegations to Jerusalem with a request for an explanation. The israelis say tile charges Are baseless but because the Peres Shamir government has just demonstrated How it Choka up in a Secu Rity crisis i suspect the charges Ere not base less. We can now expect to be treated to reve lations about israeli spying in the United slates followed by increasingly implausible denials from pern Hal he knew anything about ill is operation. The two cases the espionage probe in the United slates and the aborted investigation in Israel of the deaths of the captured terror ii Combine to suggest that control of internal Security and external intelligence gathering has loosened . Ii nobody is responsible nobody is in charge. Some israelis will say such concern is softness unrealistic in an age of terror add if a few agents were Over enthusiastic in finding out Arab intentions through the United Sites. What s the harm the harm incalculable. The weak Lings in this Mesa Are those who will not defend the Law when Olhan Are too fearful in hard headed even cynical terms his laxity in control must ultimately Avreet Aid budget and israeli Security the to ties in Israel Are those who do not move quickly to get Lough Wilh the Hasty and the stupid. Wrongful Means no matter How Noble Ibe ends must be acknowledged and punished lest they become tacitly approved policy that Cor Rodes National mobility. In Israel As in us United states in fighting terror and employ ing spies the Quality of what survives is at least As important As . York Tymn net 5f�k�
