Otherwise “with or with­out SALT II it will not make much difference in the end.” On June 30, 1979 Lieutenant Ge­neral Edward Rowney “retired” from his position as a military officer and as representative of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because of his dis­agreement with SALT II and with the way the Carter administration handled it. He stated that the years long negotiations went unsatis­factorily and that the U.S.A. will suffer the consequences in the months to come—the continuation of Entente works only for the USSR and not for the enslaved and sub­jugated little peoples . . . In over 385 meetings face to face with the Soviets, Lt. Gen. Rowny learned that the Russians under­stand and respect only force—yet through the six years of negotations which he led for the U.S.A. which meant over a thousand hours of wheeling-dealing with the Soviets, he was forced to negotiate with a dis­advantage. His hands were tied by the Washington that Brezhnev called, “our American partners” in Vienna. “The treaty as it now stands tilts heavily against the U.S.A.!” the Lt. Gen. stated. This SALT II Treaty is not in the benefit of the United States of America. In the 1980’s the U.S.A. will lose strategic parity with the USSR. The retired Chief of Naval Opera­tions Admiral James L. Holloway said in Chicago last month “. . . the Soviets can defend themselves against the Chinese, support their Warsaw Pact allies and invade Western Europe and never cross a major body of water. Yet they have the world’s largest navy. The Soviets are almost totally self-sufficient in terms of raw materials within their borders and trade among their con­tinental allies and friends. And yet they have a merchant marine that in size and modern equipment is the fastest growing in the world.” (Spot­light, July 23, 1979. pg. 24.) All these are possible it seems be­cause the U.S.A. plays her political cards in favor of the USSR since the Trosky-Lenin revolutionary move early this century. But when it comes to treat the allies of the U.S.A. with the same favorable gesture—like the Turks for example—the U.S. poli­tical cards are stacked against her ally. Some concerned U.S. Senators argue that SALT II will not be en­forceable and the Russians will easily cheat and violate the Treaty as has happened all along with other treaties because the survailance of Soviet strategic moves and develop­ments is not adequately possible by the U.S. anymore. As the U.S. lost crucial survail-SPORT OLYMPICS TV SOLD By the time you read this issue of The Fighter, the Television com­mercial time will have been sold out which will sponsor the 1980 Olym­pic Games in Moscow, Russia. Some sceptics laughed not too long ago when NBC claimed that TV time will be sold out and they will make money even though the next summer Olympics proves to be super expensive! Some 50 com­panies bought TV time, a million dollars a piece or so and many others in lesser amounts to help cover NBC expenses since the esti­mates report $125 million. The net­work however, expects to come out from 25 to 35 million dollars ahead on the Moscow Olympics. The Hungarians anxiously await the results of the next summer Olympics for two reasons: first, to see how Hungary will have fared amont the medal winners of all nations, and secondly, to see if the sports announcers will again have troubled pronouncing the names of the future Anna Kemenes like the one which was Rumanized into Nadia Comanichi in the last Olym­pics in Montreal, Canada. ance facilities in Iran. Now she must depend on the 85 foor radar dish set up on the Northern Turkish border facing the Soviet Union. With this she aims to detect the Soviet ICBM movements which should be also complemented by the data input gained by theU-2 spy planes which, however, Turkey is reluctant to allow over her territory since she would face Soviet blackmail. For all this what does the Soviet Union do? How does she recipro­cate? The Soviets decided to do something extraordinary: they de­cided to publish all 22 pages of SALT II Treaty along with the agreed me­moranda and “common under­standings” that count 50 extra pages! Nothing like this has ever happened in the Soviet Union be­fore! To acquaint the people of the USSR on such a magnitude is out­rageously new and daring for the Soviet leadeship—so much so that they actually believe that such a deed alone is enough of a demonstration of their “good will” and “intention to honor” the SALT II Treaty. What generousity . . . ! To top it all off the able New York Senator Jacob Javits summed up the U.S. Senate debate over SALT II by saying that the U.S. needs this treaty as much as the USSR needs it and the opponents of SALT II did not persuade him otherwise . . . Then will come SALT III which will deal with the “security of Eu­rope!” For now the reduction of tfyyf ? ? f www arms expenditure for pressing do­mestic reasons will ease at least Poland’s, East-Germany’s and Czechoslovakias burdens, but once again Hungary is unmistakeably left out from any worthwhile conside­rations! Oh well, at least the people will be able to read all the 72 pages of the Treaty . . . What generousity!?!

This figure is the total in 178 New England colleges that reported vacancies. Yet 68 other private pres­tigious colleges had reported no va­cancies! When the drafting of youth into the military ended the college at­tendance in the U.S.A. dropped considerably since college did not have to be a haven to avoid the draft. The school incomes accord­ingly dropped greatly and gifts to colleges had to be increased without which they could not have survived. A report from the CFAE (Council for Financial Aid to Education) tells us that gifts to colleges doubled since 1975 achieving this year the sum of $30.5 billion.
