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.

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.

AUSTIN — Some recommen
dations in her book are far
reaching and bold but none, notes
Dr. Teresa Sullivan, should de
tract from the need to maintain
the country’s open door immigra
tion policy.
“It is not time to shut the doors
of this country (to new immig
rants),” says the professor of
sociology at the University of
Texas in discussing the book “The
Dilemma of American Immigra
tion: Beyond the Golden Door”
which she coauthored with three
other professors.
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

WASHINGTON — America’s
$16.9 billion military retirement
system is not an “old-age pension
fund, ” military officials told a Sen
ate subcommittee reviewing the
system for the first time since the
1940s.
Pentagon officials said the sys
tem counter-balances the “unique
demands of military service” that

include hazardous duty, separa
tion from family and transfers to
serve the military.
However, Rep. 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!
