The study also showed 4 tnil- m soldiers are directly en- iged in combat. 1'rom 1 million to 5 million ;ople have been killed in these trsio date, the studv said. Ab out 500,000 foreign combat troops are involved in eight of the conflicts. The 24-page “World at War” study of conflicts over the past three years was released by the Center for Defense Informa tion, a private research group critical of U.S. defense, nuclear and arms policy. “The most striking aspect is the degree to w hich conflict vio lence and international tensions have increased in nearly every region of the world,” it said. Of the approximately 40 ma jor and minor armed conflicts in the world, the study located 10 in the Middle East Persian Gulf area, 10 in Africa, 10 in Asia, seven in Latin America and three in Europe, “In many ways, the United States and the Soviet Union are carrying out their battle in these wars, 7 said retired Adm. Gene LaRocque, the center’s director. The United States a tins and trains one side, the Soviets the other, and many of the conflicts could lead to a direct U.S.-Soviet confrontation. “Any shooting war between the two would in all likelihood quickly involve the use of nuc lear weapons because of the ex tent to which conventional forces on both sides have been nuclearized. It is high time we got out of these wars,” he said. United Press International WASHINGTON — William Ruckelshaus is receiving a chor us of praise as President Reagan’s choice to head the En vironmental Protection Agency, but many environmentalists and lawmakers believe he may be taking on an impossible job. President Reagan nominated Ruckelshaus Monday, saying he is giving him the power to clean house at the troubled agency. Reagan also said he is authoriz ing a review of EPA personnel and resources to ensure the EPA has the means it needs to per form its vital function. Ruckelshaus said Reagan has given him the flexibility to deter mine the problems and find solutions. ^ Large Eggs . .

ASK US ABOUT GENERICS rr EPA sources said Ruckel shaus scheduled a meeting with the agency’s senior staff Tues day, shortly before he planned to make a speech to career em ployees. In other action today, Rep. James Florio, D-NJ., scheduled a meeting of his House subcom mittee looking into EPA. Among witnesses scheduled to appear were EPA* regional administrators Peter Bibko of Philadelphia and Steven Durham of Denver. In a speech last month, Durham challenged state offi cials or members of Congress to give him a list of even one per son who has died from improp er handling of toxic wastes. Bib ko was temporarily suspended from his EPA job for, among other things, making personal telephone calls on government lines. Ruckelshaus was nominated to succeed Anne Burford, who resigned under charges of mis management and conflict of in terest accusations and a citation for contempt of Congress. Ruckelshaus was a key player in the Watergate scandal’s “Saturday Night Massacre” and resigned as deputy attorney general in 1973 rather than car ry out President Nixon’s orders to fire special prosecutor Archi bald Cox. His performance in getting EPA started and in standing up to Nixon won him unanimous praise Monday from Congress and environmentalists. “T he real question is, will this represent a change in adminis tration policy?” said Wilderness Society President Gaylord Nel son. “The Reagan administra tion has been pursuing a policy of destroying the effectiveness of EPA and they’ve succeeded.” U.S. will back election talks United Press International WASHINGTON — Secretary of State George Shultz said to day the United States will sup port talks on ground rules for an election with the guerrillas in El Salvador, but not negotiations “that short circuit the democra tic process.” Shultz, in testimony before a Senate Appropriations subcom mittee, led the administration push for $177 million in emergency aid for El Salvador, despite growing Senate support for a far more limited package. A bipartisan Senate plan for a reduced aid package would give El Salvador $50 million in emergency military assistance this year, instead of the $110 million President Reagan is seeking. The administration a n - nounced last week that it also will ask for another $67 million in economic assistance. Shultz said the United States would be willing to help “in mea sures which would guarantee the personal security of candi dates and their supporters” and to ensure fairness in the elec tions, now scheduled for De cember. But, he said, “We will not sup port negotiations that short cir cuit the democratic process and carve up power behind the peo ple’s back?” SUPERIOR AUTO SERVICE Auto Repair at it’s Best 111 Royal, Bryan Just one mile north of Campus 846-5344 WAYNE PRITCHARD DAN WASKOW NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED SINCE 1959 | For the Summer of Your Life Join Our Top Quality STMT TflltS TO 16-41 DAYS 4-11 COUNTRIES PLUS CRUISES TO GREEK ISLES ESCORTED CO-ED FUN GROUPS FROM $1295 PLUS AIR ;* MAIL FOR FREE BROCHURE TO Hartvood tours* 2428 GUADALUPE • AUSTIN.
