Sera of conflict b the y Michael Getler e Washington Post the new directives signed recently by president Carter dealing with strategy in a nuclear conflict with Moscow represent More than just evolutionary revisions of previous they also reflect the Ascendancy of those who believe the United states is heading into a period of prolonged difficulty with the soviet Union and who fear Security could be in one result is that there now is grow ing emphasis within the National Secu Rity Council staff at the White and at the Pentagon on the strategy for actually fighting a nuclear War rather than simply detering the strategy Laid out in presidential directive As explained by offi places less emphasis on retaliating against soviet cities in the event of an attack and More emphasis than in the past on knocking out soviet military forces and political and military leadership centres Early in the supporters of this strategy argue that it makes War less Likely and thus increases deterrence because it should disabuse Moscow of any notion that it could actually win a nuclear but other government officials Are not so one experienced official says there is a profound difference in View among various factions of the National Security bureaucracy spread through the White state and defence departments on the Wisdom of the new another official says what concerns him most is that some of those design ing the strategy Are those who feel most strongly that Security now is seriously threatened by soviet military backing away in some he these people Are saying that the possibility of War is much greater now and we should get prepared to fight the War even if that preparation impacts on the stability of the soviet another says he fears the United states May be backing away too quickly from the earlier notions of Mutual deterrence by holding cities hostage against a major it is being pushed aside too Early by ibis increasing emphasis on War fight he and the talk that goes Jilong with that makes me feel the people around president Carter Are less afraid of nuclear War and Are thinking about being a an important Factor in the adoption of the new strategy was the View held by some specialists that the so Viets do not accept the idea of Mutual deterrence or the idea that a nuclear War would necessarily have no win there is some irony in the new directives the United states is taking a step toward a War fighting strategy in part because it thinks the soviet Union has As Well As to give itself time to bargain before a limited War becomes soviet forces larger in All of these privately expressed officials suggest that How people feel about the new strategy is sharply influenced by How they assess there is no disputing that soviet missile forces have grown larger than forces and potentially More nor that soviets have a vastly larger conventional armed Force than the United yet Many officials still feel that the United states is sufficiently Strong not to be in any real that the soviets know and that a More confrontational strategy could place a hair trigger on both sides forces and reduce Overall another key Factor is the exclusion of Secretary of state Edmund Muskie from the deliberations before the presi Dent signed the new some officials believe the exclusion was nothing like this is Ever one official if those developing this strategy were More confident of their he they have Cut out the the directive goes to the Issue of which goes to the ques Tion of whats in the soviet and the state department is just As Good As the defence department on that ques he another official wonders privately what was actually told to Carter about the or Lack of of the state department and Secretary in the the new strategy actually began to evolve in 1974 under themes publicly described by the Secretary of defence James he argued that the United states needed the capability to respond in kind to any soviet which Means the ability if necessary to fight a prolonged but less than fallout nuclear War directed against soviet military targets As Well As with aides Robert Strauss and Esther reacts with clenched fist As he sees his nomination being Carter quells Delegate revolt continued from Page 1 fever strike Madison Square As delegates released thousands of Green and White balloons and started we want Jimmy Green is the Carter Campaign even it took a phone Call from Kennedy to his Home state supporters from Massachusetts to convince them in the interests of they should agree to make Carters Victory Carter stayed away from the Conven but watched

sets the tone for what is expected to be an Uphill fight against the republicans led by Reagan and against Independent John Carter aides Hope Kennedy will appear with the nine month struggle for
