West Germany OKs Pershing-2 shipments United Press International BONN, West Germany — The Bundestag approved the deployment of new U.S. nuc lear missiles in West Germany Tuesday despite protests by anti-American demonstrators who burst into a U.S. consu late, blocked traffic and tried to barge into communist Berlin. Police arrested 166 protes tors around the country as the government announced the first U.S. Pershing-2 nuclear missiles would arrive Wednesday. “Americans, we don’t want your bloody arms in our coun try,” said a placard waved by one of the demonstrators out side the Parliament building. Parliament gave Chancel lor Helmut Kohl’s Christian Democrat-led coalition the go-ahead for deployment of 108 Pershing-2 and 96 cruise missiles by a vote of 286 to 226. The only thing that could hold up the deployment at this point would oe an unlikely last-minute agreement at \he Geneva disarmament talks with the Soviet Union. The vote came after a bit ter, two-day debate in the low er house of Parliament accom panied by demonstrations in Bonn, West Berlin, Frank furt, Hamburg and Bremen. Kohl’s Christian Democrats and Foreign Minister Hans- Dietrich Genscher’s Free Democrats have a 58-seat ma jority in the Bundestag.
