"The mutuality of risk in all-out nuclear war makes limited nuclear war less, not more, probable," it said.

Despite growing fears of a nuclear holocaust, particularly in Western Europe, nuclear or even conventional conflict seems no more likely than at other times in the nuclear age, the report said. "Any Soviet or American president, faced with the decision to 'go must assume that to do so would mean losing control over events and probable mutual destruction." The institute's annual report said none of the "disturbances in the Third World" showed signs of escalating into "an imminent ternational stability because crisis management procedures are underdeveloped. The Polish crisis was "the most serious near-term challenge" to U.S.-Soviet relations "and the greatest single source of uncertainty over the long run." the institute said. The Dec. 13, 1881, Imposition of martial law in Poland "underlined once again the basic brittleness of Soviet control in Eastern Europe and the inherent danger to European security as a whole unless the nature of that control were changed," it said.

U.S. threatens to leave U.N. group GENEVA, Switzerland AP; The United States said Tuesday it may withdraw from the World Health Organization if the members adopt a resolution proposing Israel's ouster from the U.N. agency. The U.S.

delegate, Dr. John Bryan, said the draft resolution was "frankly inaccurate and offensive," and if it passed, "my government would initiate a review of its future role in the World Health Organization, including our financial support" some $60 million worth "and technical assisance." The draft resolution proposes to condemn Israel for its "annexation of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights."

Nothing was done, the brother testified, and three weeks later, March 30, 1981, Hinckley sprang from a crowd of reporters and onlookers in Washington and shot President Reagan and three other men. He is on trial on a charge of trying to assassinate Reagan. Scott Hinckley told the jury his father was afraid to have John committed because "the emotional trauma that may be associated with putting him in an institution may do more harm than good." Scott Hinckley, at 31 the president of the oil exploration company of which John Hinckley Sr. is chairman, said. "I just felt the situation was totally out of control" in February when John quit a new job after two days and fled his home, leaving the exorcism note.

Scott said he discussed the situation with his sister, Diane, and brother-in-law, Steven Sims, in Dallas and the three concluded that John should be institutionalized. The 29-year-old sister, testifying next, said, "John was so extremely depressed and so withdrawn. He could not seem to cope with what was going on around him. We felt a psychiatrist or psychologist at an institution could help him overcome the problems he was having." And yet, she painted a far more normal picture of her youngest brother than did her mother or Scott. The John Hinckley she described was not a haunted loner.
