FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
Celebrating his 80th birthday,
baby doctor Benjamin Spock
said government officials are
“craven” and “stupid” and
should not be trusted to decide
American foreign policy.
The white-bearded pediatri
cian — repeatedly arrested for
Vietnam war protests and de
monstrations against nuclear
power and nuclear weapons —
told a cheering crowd at a birth
day party Sunday he hopes to
see more grass-roots opposition
to the nuclear arms race.
“I hope sooner or later you all
commit civil disobedience,” he
said.
Spock — born 80 years ago
Monday — then cut into a giant
birthday cake and personally
served slices to about 60 chil
dren at the party in Wilson Park.
Spock has been involved in
the anti-nuclear movement
since he was asked in 1962 to
become co-chairman of the Na
tional Committee for a Sane
Nuclear Policy. At the time, the
group was concerned with ban
ning nuclear weapons tests.
He stepped up his anti-war
activities when President Lyn
don Johnson ordered the bomb
ing of North Vietnam in Febru
ary 1965, after promising dur
ing the election he would not
send American troops to
Vietnam.
Spock lives outside Rogers,
Ark., beside a lake in the Ozarks.
The book that made him
famous — “Baby and Child
Care” — has sold more than 28
million copies since it was first
published in 1946, ranking in
sales with the Bible and Shakes
peare.
He told UPI in a recent inter
view he is planning a revised
fifth edition for 1985 with more
information about divorce and
single parenting.

say the resolution is non
binding.
The mainly Democratic spon
sors, confident they have the
votes to comfortably pass the
controversial measure, planned
to seek a sharp time limit on
further debate today from the
Rules Committee, which gov
erns procedure on the House
floor.
“We believe it is now time for
the House to decide whether we
are going to allow the process to
control the substance,” resolu
tion author Edward Markey, D-
Mass., said in explaining the
move.
The chief sponsor of the re
solution, Clement Zablocki, D-
Wis., chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, said empha
tically, “I intend to continue to
work for passage of this freeze
resolution until hell freezes over
if I have to.”
Rep. Edward Markey,
DMass., author of the resolu
tion, said the freeze “would
bring the arms race to a grinding
halt. Testing, production, and
deployment of nuclear weapons
on both sides would be halted.
Then only, after a freeze was in
place, would reductions make
the world safer because only
then would the arms race truly
be moving in reverse.”
But Defense Secretary Cas
par Weinberger says: “The sup
porters of the freeze claim a
freeze makes it easier to reduce
nuclear arms. But in fact it
would block the important prog
ress we have already made to
ward genuine, mutual arms re
ductions.”
The freeze movement has
generated considerable public
support in the United States,
and is an outgrowth of anti
nuclear sentiments in Western
Europe, where U.S. and Soviet
negotiators have been fitfully
negotiating to curb atomic
weaponry.

The issue of whether to put
the goal of negotiating arms re
ductions on an equal footing
with the mutual freeze, as the
Republicans want, has been the
key to the debate.
