Shultz assures allies about MX
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - U S Secre
tary of State George Shultz sought to reassure
America s European allies Wednesday with a
prediction that the House of Representatives
vote against the MX missile will be reversed
Arriving from West Germany for the NATO
foreign ministers' semi-annual meeting, Shultz
implied the vote against appropriation of $988
million for production of the long-range missile
was a vote against the Reagan administration's
"dense-pack" deployment plan, not against
the missile itself
“I should emphasize that long-range,
land-based missiles are in place on American
soil," he said, "and what we are talking about
here is a modernization of that weapons sys
tem and a shift in the basing mode.”
He said the Reagan administration would
be "working with the American people to make
sure they understand fully the implications and
the importance of the deployment of the MX
missile."
"In the end, I feel confident it will go
forward,” he declared
The House vote is certain to be questioned
by the other members of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, some of whom are facing
determined opposition to the deployment of a
new generation of U S. medium-range missiles
on their soil next year

Corrective Surgery
performed on boy
PORTLAND (AP) - A young
man with a facial deformity un
derwent reconstructive surgery
on Wednesday after a drive
started by “a bunch of
40-year-old cowboys" raised
$64,000 for the operation
Jimmy Reynolds, 20, of Vene
ta, always wanted plastic sur
gery to correct a birth deformity
that left a huge lump in the mid
dle of his forehead, making it
impossible for him to see an
object with both eyes at once
Surgery began Wednesday
morning at University Hospital
at Oregon Health Sciences
University, said university
spokesman Chuck Williams
The surgery, expected to take
12 hours or longer, was the
most complicated facial
reconstruction ever attempted
in Oregon, Williams said
By early afternoon, all was
reported going well.
"We want to take this extra
bright and personable young
man and make his appearance
less of an obstruction in getting
along in life," said Dr Stephen
Miller, the hospital’s chief of
plastic and reconstructive sur
gery
Miller said a team of about a
dozen physicians would try to
remove the lump, close a gap in
Reynolds' skull without putting
too much pressure on the brain
and move his eyes closer
together.
Six hours after the surgery
began, hospital spokeswoman
Glennis McNeal said the sur
gery proceeding was on
schedule Surgeons had
"decompressed" the lump and
would be able to reduce the
cleft in Reynolds’ skull, she said.
They planned to work next on
aligning his eyes, she said
Reynolds said the the opera
tion could help erase a lot of
emotional pain. For example,
once he got a job at a grocery
store after months of looking for
work. Reynolds said he was so
elated he overlooked the store
owner's directive that he stay in
the back storeroom so cus
tomers would "be able to shop
with ease ”
