Delegation urges Dutch to refuse Cruise
A deleganon of U.S. theologians
and religious leaders will call on the
Dutch government this week to
refuse deployment of the controver­
sial Cruise missiles because they are
a threat to global security and a
serious obstacle to resuming arms
talks An urgent, last-hour appeal
w ill be made to the Dutch Am
bassador in Washington.
The in ter-faith delegation w ill
meet with Ambassador Richard II
Fein at the Dutch Embassy (4200
Linnean Ave , N W ) at 3 p.m
Wednesday, followed by a 4 30
p.m . news conference by the
religious leaders at the Rayburn
House O ffic e Building (House
Armed Services Committee Hearing
Room N o. 21 18). The news con­

plea for peace
Leaders of the Baptist Conven­
tion of Nicaragua have issued a
pastoral letter to “ our C hristian
sisters and brothers throughout the
w o rld " to stop " th e death and
destruction plotted against us" by
the U .S adm inistration and its
C IA
"The administration of the rich­
est and most powerful nation ...is
blocking, attacking and destroying
the life aspirations of our people,"
the letter says. “ In recent weeks, in­
discriminate bombings of peaceful
villages have increased, with a loll
of deaths and casualties which in ­
cludes tiny children."
The United States has been
backing guerillas opposed to the lef-
ist Sandinista regime.

" A lth o u g h
our
delegation
represents a wide range of religious
beliefs and exp erien ce," said
Stephen C ary, Philadelphia, “ we
speak with one voice on this crucial
question: We call on the Dutch
people and the Dutch government to
say 'yes' to the future with peace and
security by refusing to accept the
Cruise." Cary is chairperson of the
American Friends Service Commit
tee.
Other members of the delegation
include Dr Harvy Cox. Cambridge,

Peace
Organization
The Dutch Parliament is expected
to vole sometime in June on
whether to accept and deploy 48
Cruise missiles as part of a larger
N A T O plan to deploy Cruise and
Pershing I I missiles in Western
Europe The Dutch government is
under constant U .S . and N A T O
pressure to accept the Cruise despite
opposition by 63 percent of the
Dutch population.
" T h e Cruise, because of its
S lim m e rs S alon
potential lirst-sinke capabilities, is a
threat to peace in E u ro p e ,” Cary
declared. "H o llan d 's refusal to ac­
cept the Cruise would not be a sign
of anti Americanism, but rather a
sign of common sense and hope A
'no' to the Cruise in the Netherlands
could help break the arms spiral and
pave the way for resumption of
East West negotiations in Geneva.”
The 63 percent Dutch opposition
figure is according to a poll conduc­
ted by the Dutch government in
February this year Many members
o f the Dutch Parliam ent are op­
posed to the Cruise, but some Dutch
government o fficials and some
Parliament members are worried
that rejection of the Cruise will be
seen by many as anti American

Northeast Portland
The political leanings o f can­
didates seemed to be a larger factor
to contributors in races for state o f­
fices in Northeast Portland.
Bill Stevenson received the lion's
share o f business and professional
PAC funds in the Senate District 8
race. Victorious incumbent, Bill
M cCoy won the support o f labor
unions and some business interests
and third-place finisher W ally
Priestley received all of his $1.400
from individuals.
Margaret C arter, the victorious
Democratic candidate in N o rth ­
east's House District 18, received
about half of her $18,139 in con­
tributions up to May 7th, from in­
dividuals; PAC and direct corporate
contributions made up the remain­
der Black Oregonians for Business
PAC and the Alliance for Economic
Development were Carter's largest
direct contributors. Henry Scott’ s
Coast Janitorial contributed office
space to the Carter campaign, the
value of which probably exceeded
any other donations.
Carter’s major opponent, incum­
bent Ed Leek, raised just less than
$10,000 in the reporting period and
most of it came from labor groups.
$2,330 was donated to Leek from
business and professional interests
and he received loans of $1,000 and
$1,100 each from two individuals.
