OR YOU Eli® United Press International LUBBOCK — Although out raged by the Soviet downing of a Korean jetliner, Turkey did not impose sanctions against the Soviet Union for the same reason the United States did not impose a grain embargo, an official said. Sukru Elekdag, the Turkish MEXICAN DRESSES $2498 Summer Clearance Sale at ALFREDO’S ambassador to the United States, said his nation joined others in cri ticizing the Soviet Union. He cal led the incident inhuman. But he told reporters at a Tues day news conference that Turkey would only punish itself by taking sanctions against the Soviets. On a speaking tour in celebra tion of Turkey s 60th anniversity, Elekdag said Turkey would hinder business for its own airlines by trying to take any action. Turkish airlines have flights across Europe. “The civilized world is putting forth their reaction,” Elakdag said at Texas Tech, adding he believed regulations would be made to curb such attacks in the future. He said the United States was acting prop erly in the matter. Elakdag was appointed U.S. ambassador in 1979 after five years as deputy secretary of Turkey’s Foreign Affairs Ministry. He also held a post with the United Na tions. When asked about his own country, Elakdag said a Nov. 6 election to select some 400 parlia ment members would be a miles tone for Turkey’s political history. The country also is implementing its third constitution. Elekdag also is slated to visit Austin and San Antonio while in Texas before he travels to Arizona and Utah. His Lubbock visit came upon the invitation of English professor Warren Walker and his wife Bar bara Walker. Mrs. Walker is cura tor of the Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative in the Texas Tech lib rary.

The book, published in July, says the author, is the first com prehensive attempt to reform U.S. immigration laws and “goes farther than the current legislation for a rethinking of the entire system.” “Immigrants give this country a great deal of vitality and economic vigor,” Sullivan says. “They give political affirmation to Americans by saying there is something in our system that is very valuable. That affirmation is particularly im portant at a time when we aren’t sure about our position in the world.” A demographer by training, Sullivan says she got interested in immigration because, “a large percentage of this country’s popu lation growth has been through immigration rather than fertility.” “The figure of 800,000 mmig- rants in 1980 is immigration that we can measure. What we can’t measure is the number of illegal aliens which might be larger than that figure, we are not sure.” Sullivan’s book is timely be cause Congress currently is grap pling with the Simpson-Mazzoli bill, a comprehensive piece of legislation containing radical solu tions to immigration problems. Sullivan’s book, while welcom ing the bill, takes particular objec tions to two of its most radical pro visions: a blanket amnesty to all illegal aliens who entered the country before a stipulated date and sanctions against those who employ them. The amnesty provision, Sulli van says, does not recognize the fact that the laws of the country were violated and would unjustly penalize those who want to enter the country legally. The employer sanctions provi sion, Sullivan says, cannot work because of the ease with which documents like passports anJ cial security cards can be foij Sullivan recommends as charge on the immigrant’s lira tax until the immigrantbetw citizen to defray the cost oil immigration department,aidl revenue sharing with states! cities where the immigrantli United Press Inte NEW YORK — S m the most popul irth control for Ai jes, pushing the p lace for the first tin says.

Pentagon officials said the sys tem counter-balances the “unique demands of military service” that ■^LOOKING FOR A MAJOR, MINOR, OR A BLUE BELL , ICE CREAM TREAT?

Les Aspin, D- Wis., believes retirement benefits are “too generous. ” He said a recent General Accounting Office study found the U.S. system — which allows milit ary retirement after 20 years of active service — to be the most expensive in the world. Aspin told military officials Tuesday the Pentagon has one “last chance” to propose a compre hensive revision of the $16.9 bil lion military retirement system or face piecemeal adjustments by Congress. Department of Defense offi cials, meanwhile, said the system serving 900,000 military retirees cannot be compared to other re tirement plans and serves as the No. 1 incentive for skilled person nel to remain in the service. “It is important to emphasize that the military retirement sys tem is not an old-age pension plan fulfilling an oldage maintenance function,” said Assistant Secretary of Defense Lawrence Korb. “Rather it is intended to help shape a professional, ready force adequate to meet the nation’s re tirements.” The House Armed Services subcommittee on military person nel and compensation is holding hearings on what Aspin says is the first comprehensive review! the 1940.S of the system.
