WASHINGTON — The Un-
id States is the major arms sup-
ierlfor 20 of the world’s 45
tiring nations, while the
ivietsarm 13 of them, a private
idy says.
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.

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.

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?”
