Page 8AThe Battalion/Tuesday, April 5, 1983 national Warped by Scott McCullai Bishops to teach evils of nuclear war United Press International DETROIT — The nation’s Roman Catholic bishops are preparing to teach that stockpil ing nuclear weapons for defense is as immoral as nuclear attacks on civilians, a Michigan priest says. The Rev. Charles Irvin, pas tor of Church of the Holy Spirit in Hamburg, Mich., said Sunday the final draft of a pastoral letter on war and peace also will say it is immoral to start nuclear war. Major segments of the final draft have been reviewed by Irvin, one of six U.S. priests who advise the National Conference of Catholic Bishops on policy matters. Irvin has said the pastoral let ter retains its strong anti-nuclear deterrence stance despite attempts by the White House to water it down. “The bishops are very skep tical about any nation’s ability to contain nuclear warfare,” he said. “The letter stops short of outright condemnation of a first strike, but' leaves the reader clearly knowing that the bishops, at least, see the possibil ity of containment of any nuc lear use to be practically impos sible.” The nation’s 258 Roman Catholic bishops are expected after an early May meeting in Chicago to issue the letter, which calls for a nuclear freeze be tween the United States and the Soviet Union. President Reagan says the letter may damage arms negotiations. “They see an uncontrolled arms race that has its own life, like a Frankenstein,” he said. “It has such a devastating magni tude that has to be controlled.” He said the bishops will link their letter directly to the church’s teaching against abor tion.

Woodall blamed federal pro secutors for being too zealous in pursuing the case. “It was overzealousness on something for everyone in the want ads their part,” he said “It was pushed on their part. A judge in our own community threw out all the charges at one point, but they refiled them.” Woodall, 32, and officers Ronald Brink, Stephen Reboul, and Richard LeBlanc, were cleared of charges that they beat black citizens during the investi gation into the murder of a New Orleans policeman in 1980. Three other officers were found guilty last Monday of felony civil rights charges by the jury in Dallas, where the trial was moved because of publicity. The convicted officers face up to 1 1 years in prison and max imum fines of SI 1,000. They were fired from the force on Thursday. Woodall, scheduled to return to work Monday, said he was un decided about going back. “I have a fear of going back.” he said. “Em trying to assess if I’ll even go back. If the situation would arise where there would be the possibly of going through this again, I would be apprehen sive about leaving myself open for it.” Government witnesses filed during the three-weeh that they were beaten,held! hours with bags over theirlia and threatened with shotgujj police questioned them all the slaving of officer Gns em ^ Neupert. ’ : iece( Four residents of the Ala n e ig h bo r hood were shot and led by police during theim gation, but no charges« filed.
