82, NO. 260 Serving Mason County and Surrounding Area Copyrighl 1972. by Ludington Daily News, Inc. LUDINGTON, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1972 PRICE lOc Campaign Spotlight Focuses On Defense Issue By United Press International The conlenders for the presidency brought their argument over defense policies to the forefront again today when advisers of Sen. George S.

McGovern charged President Nixon is overspending for arms and still trying to play the role of world policeman. Nixon's defense secretary, Melvin R. Laird, struck back immediately, describing a major 39-page campaign statement issued by McGovern's Panel on National Security as a "new white paper" that "endorses and muddles his white flag- surrender approach to national security." Vice President' Spiro T. Agnew anticipated the new round of debate when he said in St. Louis Wednesday thai McGovern's defense policies were "frightening" because they would leave the country with nuclear retaliation as its only course of action if it were attacked.

McGovern's advisers sum ine administration had misused the recent nuclear arms limitation agreements "as a hunting license lo step up the arms race." They said the administration was guilty of poor defense management and of deliberately overstating the threat of the Soviet Union. And they said Nixon intends "to undertake unilaterally the policeman's role throughout Ihe world. In January, McGovern sug- gesled culling $30 billion from the defense budget over a three-year period, using ihe money saved for domestic programs. The panel statement did not mention any figures but said the $54.8 billion budget McGovern suggested earlier for fiscal 1975 would keep U.S. military strength "second lo none." Laird said the panel report was a "new attempt to retreat from the facts of national security." He said McGovern nol only wants to return to a "neo-isolationist Fortress America, he wants to dismantle the fortress." He said Nixon was replacing the preview role of world policeman with "a new- policy of partnership with our allies." Agncw argued the McGovern program "restricts the size of our traditional forces and leaves us with weapons systems thai are rapidly becoming obsolete in the face of conlinuous modcrnizalion of conventional armed forces by other world powers." He said il mighl force the United Stales to back down in a confrontation wilh a major power in "a few short years." McGovern campaigned in Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Wednesday, sounding his antiwar Iheme in a speech at Philadelphia.

He waved two ami-personnel bombs before an audience of about 600 Democratic campaign fund contributors, saying devices like them were "tearing human flesh" in Indochina "in the name of protecting the honor of the United Slates."
