There are two reasons why the Reagan administration believes a comprehensive test ban is not in the best interest of the United States, said Steve Johnson, a scientist and military analyst who spoke at the rally. The public reason is the inabili ty of the United States to verify that the policy is being upheld by the Soviet Union, and the lesser-known reason is that the United States wants to continue Repairs • Buy and Sell STEREO WORKSHOP *1409 Main.

In 1985, the Norwegian government built a highly ac curate array of seismic stations around the perimeter of Norway and the Soviet Union to detect very small nuclear explosions, he said. In addition, both the Soviet Union and the United States have agreed, in principle, prior to the Reagan administration to build permanent seismic sta tions very close to nuclear test sites and to allow on-site verification for any suspicious event, Johnson said. The United States wants to develop equipment that will operate in a nuclear environ ment, and it needs the addi tional nuclear tests to perfect the equipment as well as to pro duce additional offensive weapons, he said. There are three things necessary to stop the arms race: a comprehensive test ban, a non-proliferation treaty and an international regime that can monitor nuclear power, Johnson said. “The Soviets have made public statement after public statement in favor of a test ban.

Grace is also a member of the South Eugene Peace Club. “1 think everyone wants to speak up, but some times it is a little hard,” she said. “1 think peace is possible, and I think that is something we can do.” The Eugene Chapter of American Peace Test, a group dedicated to non-violent direct action to the struggle against the nuclear arms race, spon sored the noon rally. The group plans to protest at the Nevada lest Site on Feb. 5, the day of the first scheduled nuclear test of 1987.
