European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 18, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 10 columns William f. Buckley Bush has t addressed conservatives concerns the Wisecrack is hat it is requiring he excesses of Michael Dukakis to bring he conservatives out in Force in favor of George Bush. Like most Wise cracks this one is built on caricature there is no questioning the conservative instincts of Bush never mind that he is not by temperament an activist rather an administrator and a  ill in the closing weeks of the Campaign he does need to worry about the intensity of conservative loyalties and Here arc three Fields in which he has been negligent. The first has to do with the endless improvisations on social welfare with which we have been accosted during the Campaign. Every time there is a debate Bush Dukakis Quayle Bentse nhe Democrat will accuse the Republican of not having voted for in creased Aid to education increased Aid to dependent children increased housing increased Mort pc assist Ance increased health care decreased crime. The con text of the questions is inevitably the Federal Bovim Mcnol As provider. Did sen. Dan Quayle Vole for the lax chem lion for veterans of the Spanish american War when applying for Federal help for heart trans plants an informal familiarity Wilh the encyclopedic nostrums nourished by the candidates to Dale reveal an extraordinary silence on the role of inc individual slate. Now this is especially galling Given that Dukakis has several times hailed his Massachusetts health plan As the prototype of what he would urge on the Federal government. You will remember that in inc late Spring he signed a Bill thai would require corporations doing business in Massac Husum fully to insure their employees against health costs of one Kinder another. The question before the House in t is thai or is that nol Wise Public policy but it certainly raises the question if Massachusetts can improvise its own health plan Why can t South Dakota or Louisiana by instituting a discrete health plan for Massachusetts in l gov. Dukakis reinforcing the Federal Ideal thai Ideal is thai an individual state should be free to Experiment so that other Stales surveying the results of that Experiment can prudently decide whether to imitate that practice or  Public rhetoric of Bush and Quayle is conspicuously Short of any reference to Stales obligations to Cope with such problems As homelessness medical care unemployment benefits educational subsidies and decadent Public  second delinquency in the Bush Quayle Camp has to do with the question of disarmament. Henry Kissin Ger has tre chantly Analysed impulsive movements to Ward Start talks in columns and articles Over the past year. The Republican party needs to distinguish itself from the democratic party As the clairvoyant alternative in matters having to Deal with . The whirlwind Campaign for an inf treaty the Bilier potential Harvest of which we can Only Pray we will be spared has Jimmie Republican official disarmament talk in inc direction of the kind Gary Lee of thing one used to hear from the sane nuclear policy people Calls for rapid disarmament the planted axiom of which was that  is the True goal of the world. Well  in t the True goal of the knowing people of the world Given that it is nuclear Power and Only thai thai serves As an effective deterrent against the massive conventional Power of inc soviet Union. We have not heard Bush dilate on this subject and we miss not hearing about it and then there is the question of abortion. As nov Thomas Kean of new Jersey puts it he backs free Choice abortion is the single most serious moral question facing the american people. Now the equal rights provisions of the various civil Nihls Laws have been leaned on by the free Choice people to argue thai to deny Hospital facilities to women for abortion is in effect to discriminate against women. It is an outrageous act of moral biological reasoning that the abortion people should go to such lengths bul they have done so. The civil rights restoration act passed this year stalled for months on the question whether thai Quirky interpretation would be integral to such an act. In other words if the Federal government were instructed to withdraw All support from any institution that declined to comply Wilh any of the civil rights Laws would that mean that Georgetown University Hospital would lose its Federal patronage unless its doctors and nurses agreed to perform abortions the Dan Forth amendment to the act rescued the fundamentalists from the problem. But their reasoning is alive and we need to hear from Bush something that goes further than his preference for adoption Over abortion. Will he be Active in preserving inc Freedom of those who oppose abortion including those who oppose the use of human fetal tissue for medical purposes in Vertil Prau g Gorbachev tightening party control Over Kab the appointment of Vladimir Kryuchkov As head of the Kab Indi Cates a decline in the status of the so Viet Security Agency and two important shifts in its Agenda. Western Kremli nolo its said saturday. By naming Kryuchkov a 63-year old career Kab official without rank in the senior Kremlin leadership the communist party has strengthened its control Over the Agency and slightly lowered the Agency s standing in the soviet Hierarchy several specialists said in interviews the Kab. Whose director is usually n member of the ruling politburo is now viewed As the third most powerful institution in the soviet Union after inc party and inc military the specialists said. Besides downgrading the Kab s status the replacement of former director Vilior Chubrikov by Kryuchkov also appears to put a new accent on the Agency s operations in foreign coun tries. Unlike the Central intelligence Agency which operates exclusively abroad the Kab is Active both within the soviet Union and around the world. But Kryuchkov who for 10 years has headed foreign espionage and other Kab operations abroad is expected by Western experts to put Strong emphasis on the Agency s inter National role. Kryuchkov is also expected to but Tress the Battle the Kremlin leadership is waging against corruption and bribery. Kryuchkov who began his inter National career in Budapest under Yuri Andropov then soviet ambassador to Hungary is viewed As a protege of Andropov. When he became direct Lor of the Kab in 1967, Andropov gradually promoted Kryuchkov through the ranks making him head of foreign operations and one of two first deputies in 1978. Kryuchkov s assignments abroad had included a stint in the Early 1970sas station Chi Fin new York. Last de Cember he accompanied soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev to Washington for the Summit talks. Still Kryuchkov who joined the 300-mtmber policy making Central committee in 1986, lacks the stature of his predecessors. Chubrikov named Kab director in 1985, was simultaneously made a full politburo member. Andropov raised the status of the Agency when he was selected to succeed Leonid Brezhnev As party general Secretary in 1982. I have a feeling that what we Are seeing now is the symbolic downgrading or the whole Agency said Thane Gustafson a soviet Logist at George town University in Washington , Gorbachev has strength Ned his own Power Over state Security said Robert Legvold head of the Harriman Institute for soviet studies in new York. It s an important step in his consolidation of  the Kab has recently gained a reputation As one of the organs responsible for braking the Pace of Gorba Chev s reforms. Under Chubrikov Kab agents mounted brutal crack Downs against dissident demonstrations. And during the Pasi year Che Borikov became a spokesman for conservative position which appeared to ally him closely Wilh leading politburo conservative Yegor Lig Achey. In recent months Chubrikov was criticized for the handling of ethnic unrest in several soviet republics. He is quite a flexible politician a Kab official said of Chubrikov in a interview in Moscow last month. But there Hac been pressure on him to Lake More hard line positions c ims.
