About 60,000 troops participating in “Shield 84,” the biggest East bloc fall maneuver in six years, took the field in Czechoslovakia as almost 58,000 British troops started cross ing the English Channel to join in NATO’s even larger “Autumn Forge" exercise. The annual seven-week NATO exercise being staged from the Norwegian coast to the Black Sea will eventually involve more than 250,000 troops in 24 separate land, sea and air maneuvers. In one segment called “Reforger,” 17,000 troops will be flown in from the United States to augument NATO forces. A so-called “Lion- heart 84” phase will draw 131,000 troops from live nations to the North German Plain for the most ambitious British-led war game since the end of World War II. The NATO command at Mons, Belgium said the main focus of the Western war games will be in the low countries and West Germany, which shares a long border with the East bloc. As usual, the rival alliances have swapped observers to keep tabs on each other’s activities as a “confi dence building measure.” Rumania, the Warsaw Pact’s mili tary maverick, is believed to be par ticipating in the Pact exercise at com mand and general staff levels, while sticking to its policy of not letting troops participate. Greece is partly boycotting the NATO naval maneuvers because of its territorial squabble with Turkey while France and Spain traditionally decline to participate in the com bined exercises. ope just two days after anti-war rallies in the West and somber official cere monies in the East marked the 44th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in Europe. Czechoslovak Defense Minister Martin Dzur was quoted by his coun try’s official news agency CTK as saying the Warsaw Pact exercise is “especially important in view of the current international situation in which U.S.-led imperialist forces have launched a campaign against socialism.” Vatican attacks analysis United Press International VATICAN CITY — The Vatican Monday resumed its attack on Marx ist-oriented liberation theologians but said it shares their desire to fight poverty and is open to more dis cussion. The Vatican’s top theologian, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of West Germany, formally released a 36- page document denouncing the use of Marxist analysis in defining the Roman Catholic Church’s mission among the poor. “The document is not a condem nation and they will have room to say what they believe,” Cardinal Jo seph Ratzinger of West Germany said at a news conference. “But they must reject certain absurd posi tions.” n Entitled “Instruction on Certain Aspects of the ‘Theology of Liber ation,”’ it was released five days be fore Ratzinger was to meet with a leading Brazilian exponent of liber ation theology, Rev. Leonard Boff. Ratzinger, prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, prepared the document on orders from Pope John Paul II, who has ordered priests to stay out of politics. Liberation theology was born from the extreme poverty of Latin America and has gained a wide fol lowing in the Third World. Its exponents work to mobilize the poor politically and some see Jesus as liberator, defining their mission in such Marxist terms as class struggle. Balloon Bonanza 764-0950 1405 Harvey Rd.
