U.S. missile test
put off to June
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a move
that could improve the atmosphere
for next month’s nuclear arms talks
in Geneva, the Reagan administra
tion is delaying its test of an anti-sa
tellite missile from March until June,
administration sources said Monday.
The Soviet Union last year had
demanded a moratorium on anti-sa
tellite tests as a condition for resum
ing arms control negotiations. The
administration refused, but sources
now say the test has been put off for
“technical reasons."
Two officials said in separate in
terviews that the delay in tne anti-sa
tellite test could be linked to the re
sumption of arms control talks with
Moscow in Geneva on March 12, but
they added they did not know this
for a fact. They said they did not
know the nature of the technical dif
ficulties.
The timing of the delay seems for
tuitous, because launching the con
troversial test on the eve of the Ge
neva talks could have soured the
atmosphere for the negotiations,
which are expected to be difficult
even without the test.
“It is helpful” to the talks, said a
senior State Department official,
who, like other sources, spoke on
condition he not be identified.
Another official said the issue
wasn’t even raised in last month’s
meeting between Secretary of State
George P. Shultz and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, which
suggests the Soviets may already
have been informed of the delay.
The official said that, regardless
of the reason for the delay, it “kicks
the can down the road” by making
the test a less pressing problem with
the Soviets.
Shultz and Gromyko met in Ge
neva on Jan. 7-8 to set the stage for
resuming formal arms control talks
next month. They agreed among
other things to seek “effective
agreements aimed at preventing an
arms race in space and terminating it
on Earth.”
The Air Force is said to have been
ready for months to carry out the
test, which involves shooting down
an enemy satellite with a rocket fired
from an h'-15 fighter plane.
No federal civil rights
prosecution for Goetz
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bernhard Goetz
will not be prosecuted for federal
civil rights violations because he ap
parently did not act out of racial
prejudice when he shot four teen
agers on a subway train, a prosecu
tor announced Monday.
Goetz, meanwhile, emerged from
seclusion and said in newspaper in
terviews that he favored arming the
public to fight crime, and that peo
ple should be taught “to get the gun
out quickly.”
Black leaders asked U.S. Attorney
Rudolph W. Giuliani to investigate
the case after a state grand jury re
fused to indict Goetz, who is white,
in the shootings of the four young
blacks. The jury instead charged
him with weapons possession.
Giuliani’s announcement came as
Goetz appeared in public for the
first time in weeks. Over the week
end, he attended the arraignment of
a man charged with stabbing an al
leged thief at a subway newsstand,
tried to attend the waxe of a slain
cabbie — he was turned away due to
the ruckus of accompanying press —
and gave interviews.
Four youths were shot on Dec. 22,
two of them in the back, after they
asked Goetz for $5. Goetz has said
he believed he was being robbed.
Goetz could be sentenced to seven
years in jail on the weapons charge, a
prospect he says he is willing to ac
cept.
Analyst:
economic
expansion
won't last
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The eco
nomic outlook is fairly bright fra
this year, but a recession broughi
on by soaring federal budget cief-
icits is likely to begin sometim
next year, a national group of
business economists said Monday.
The forecast by the National
Asstxriation of Business Econo
mists differs sharply from eco
nomic expectations of the Reagan
administration, which is project
ing no recession through 1990.
rifty-two percent Of the mem
bers said they expected the next
recession would begin in 1986,
Only 17 percent expected the re
covery to last into 1987 or be- ^
yond.
Giant federal budget deficits
were cited most often as the rea
son why some believe the current
expansion will not last 46 months,
the average for recoveries since
World War II.
The economists said they be
lieved these deficits would push
interest rates higher and further
weaken the foreign trade deficit
by keeping the dollar near re
cord-high levels.
The current expansion began
in November 1982.
“It is significant that so few be
lieve this recovery can last aslontj
as the 1975-1980 expansion,” saio
Ben Laden, president of the asso
ciation. “It is clear that the basic
problem is the budget deficit.”
Even with the pessimism for
next year, the economists were
more optimistic about 1985 than
they were three months ago,
boosting their growth prediction
while lowering their expectations
for inflation.
The group predicted the econ
omy would grow at a rate of 3.5
percent with inflation remaining 1
at a moderate 4.2 percent. Botti
expectations are dose to Reagan
administration forecasts.
Even with continued growth,
the economists predicted this
year’s budget deficit would hit a
record $210 billion, dropping
only slightly to $200 billion for
the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
