U.S. deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe unaltered by protest

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) Anti-nuclear demonstrations by more than 850,000 West Europeans are not going to change NATO’s decision to deploy American nuclear missiles in Europe, a senior US. representative at the Shuttle launch Nov. 4 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla (AP> Kennedy Space Center workers have begun stowing suits, food and other equipment aboard the shuttle Columbia as all appears ready for a Nov. 4 launch, NASA officials say. “There doesn’t look like there are any problems that would slow us down," George Page, director of shuttle launch operations, said Monday. “If the weather is agreeable, we ought to be able to do something on the fourth.” As workers stowed the gear for the shuttle’s second mission. Page talked about the spacecraft’s third flight. He said NASA is considering an early March 1982 launch date, although that is not firm. While NASA officials are more confident of the durability of the shuttle’s heat-protection tiles during re-entry in the second flight, they still are a major concern, Page said. During the first mission, some of the tiles were nicked or chipped, and a few fell off. Workers also had to reinstall 379 of the tiles following a fuel spill during preparations for the second launch. Also on Monday, workers washed down the launch pad surface and flame trenches to lessen the chance of any loose material being on the pad. DeFrantz unable to face trial INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The former head of an Indianapolis anti-poverty program is medically unable to stand trial, a court-appointed cardiologist has informed a federal judge. Robert D. DeFrantz, 56, was charged in a 116-count indictment with embezzling $120,099 from Community Action Against Poverty. He is scheduled to go on trial in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis Nov. 9. Dr. Cass A. Pinkerton filed his report Monday with Judge Cale J. Holder. It concluded if DeFrantz undergoes any emotional or physical stress, it could “jeopardize his health.” The condition is “permanent and will not respond to any known aggressive medical or surgical therapy,” the doctor added. Pinkerton, who examined DeFrantz Oct. 1, is acting director of St. Vincent Hospital’s cardiac catheterization laboratories and clincial associate professor at the Indiana University School of Medicine. DeFrantz’s attorney, Charles M. Russell, said his client already has undergone four other examinations, and all resulted in basically the same findings. Russell said the continued requests for DeFrantz to be examined are stressful to his client.

"no change of attitude” by the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization toward the planned deployment of medium-range American nuclear missiles in Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, West Germany and Italy to counter

Soviet missiles already in place and targeted on Western Europe.. However, the Belgian and Dutch governments have not agreed to accept the missiles on their territory, and British officials foresaw that growing

Dutch opposition to the deployment might force modification of the plans. The Dutch Labor Party, a member of the outgoing coalition government, adopted a resolution over the weekend

opposing the missile deployment. “If the Dutch do not finally accept the missiles, we will obviously have to revise the deployment,” said a British source in London who asked not to be identified. U.S. officials have said if

Belgium or the Netherlands rejects the missiles, other locations would have to be found for them or the number to be deployed would have to be reduced. According to NATO figures,

the Soviet Union has deployed 750 SS-20 warheads targeted op Western Europe. To balance this, the Western alliance agreed two years ago to deploy 572 cruise and Pershing II missiles in Western Europe beginning in 1983.
