From Associated Press reports
Enlistment
figures same
Army and Marine recruiters in
Oregon said Wednesday the
military situations in Beirut,
Lebanon, and Grenada have had
no immediate impact on recruit
ment in the state.
"Operations are pretty routine,"
said Lt. Col. Robert Brown in the
Army's main Portland recruiting
office.
A Marine officer in Portland
who asked not to be identified
agreed with Brown.
"Basically, there hasn't been a
change one way or another," the
officer said. He added that some
potential recruits become in
terested and mull over the deci
sion for weeks while others come
join on the spur of the moment.
The officer said because recruit
ment fluctuates from week to
week, there was no way to tie
"outside stimulus" to recruitment
in Oregon.
Sgt. Edward Ballo, an Army
recruiting officer for the Ashland
Medford area, said, "It hasn't in
creased in this place at all” as the
result of Grenada and Lebanon.
A Marine captain in Eugene said
the same: "Local recruiting in
Eugene hasn't been affected."
Geneva talks
deadlocked
MOSCOW — Soviet Pres. Yuri
Andropov said Wednesday
deployment of new American
nuclear missiles in Western
Europe would make continuation
of the Geneva arms talks
"impossible."
The Soviet leader said, however,
that the Soviet Union is willing to
continue the talks on reducing
nuclear weapons in Europe if the
deployment does not start as
scheduled in December.
He characterized the present
state of the talks as at an impasse,
according to the official Soviet
news agency Tass.
Tass said Andropov's remarks
were in answer to questions by
Pravda, the Communist Party
daily.
There had previously been
Soviet threats to break off the
talks, but the Andropov statement
was the first clear statement from
the Soviet leader.
Andropov said: “The ap
pearance of new American
missiles in Western Europe will
make a continuation of the pre
sent talks in Geneva impossible.
On the other hand, the Geneva
talks can be continued if the
United States does not start the
actual deployment of the
missiles."
The Soviet leader also said the
Soviet Union was willing to end
deployment of its medium-range
SS-20 missiles in the Asian part of
the Soviet Union, and is ready to
consider altering its demands for
cutbacks by NATO countries in
the number of aircraft capable of
carrying nuclear weapons.
Tass said Andropov stressed
that "unfortunately, there is no
advance in the direction of the ac
cord at the talks. The impasse con
tinues there. The reason for this, I
believe, is now clear even to the
most devoted allies of the United
States and it is only bloc loyalty
that prevents them from admit
ting this openly."
Day set for
gay issues
ROSEBURG — Local clergymen
have called for a day of fasting and
prayer to contemplate homosex
uality and the church in the wake
of one church's refusal to allow a
predominantly gay congregation
to hold worship services in their
building.
The Rev. Roger Chamberlain of
the Hucrest Community Church
said area pastors decided on the
action to be held from 6 a.m.
Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday after
they were unable to agree on a
combined response.
"We feel that this day of prayer
and fasting is vital to knowing
how God would have us to con
front these issues," read an adver
tisement for the observance in the
Roseburg News-Review.
Last month, the congregation of
the Roseburg United Methoidst
Church voted to deny use of their
building to the Metropolitan
Community Church, which is
largely made up of gay members.
The Rev. Betty Pedersen of the
Metropolitan Community Church
in Eugene said other congrega
tions of the predominantly gay
c hurch throughout the Northwest
will schedule special observances.
"We're praying for God to move
in the hearts and the minds of the
(Roseburg) peopte fasting and
praying," she said.
Cops catch
more drunks
SALEM — The number of
motorists arrested for drunken
driving increased during the first
weekend that a new state law
against intoxicated drivers took ef
fect, Oregon State Police Supt.
|ohn Williams says.
The law, which went into effect
Oct. 15, lowers by 20 percent the
blood alcohol content at which a
motorist is presumed to be legally
drunk.
During that weekend. State
Police arrested 90 people around
the state on suspicion of being
drunk while driving. Prior*to the
law going into effect, about 70
such arrests would be made on an
average weekend, Williams said.
It's not that troopers are pulling
over more people, Williams said.
Instead, police are administering
more breath tests to people they
stop who appear intoxicated now
that the legal blood alcohol con
tent standard has been lowered to
.08 percent, he said.
"At .08, you don't have to drink
that much to be under the in
fluence," the superintendent said.
Porn doesn't
pay for 7-11
DALLAS — An organizer of an
anti-smut group, the National
Federation for Decency, is urging
a boycott of 7-Eleven stores for
selling girlie magazines.
At a "rally for decency" Tuesday
night in the Dallas Convention
Center, the Rev. Donald Wildmon
told about 3,000 supporters that
7-Eleven stores, owned by Dallas
based Southland Corp., are "the
biggest sellers of pornography in
the country."
Wildmon later mentioned
Playboy and Penthouse
magazines as examples of what he
considers pornography. He prais
ed the Winn-Dixie and Kroger
grocery chains for keeping such
magazines off their shelves.
Southland spokesman Allen
Liles responded Wednesday that
"7-Eleven has, in our opinion, the
strictest policy on adult magazines
of anv retailer in America."
NOT JUST TcR The Birds
Francis of Assisi loved animals.
But his real business was PEOPLE!
Eight hundred years later we Capuchins —
followers of Francis — are still in the
“People Business." As a community of
priests and brothers we spread the Gospel
message of peace and justice to our age.
