KINDRED, Robert President Says 'Day After' Plot i Nothing New I President Reagan said Monday that "TJe Day After," the televised movie depicting nuclear war, was well-handled though "it didn't say anything we didn't know." Reagan said nuclear war would be horrible and that "we're trying as hard as we can" to prevent it. The movie, broadcast Sunday night, depicted the devastation of Lawrence, and surrounding areas after an all-out nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. Reagan saw an advance copy of the film and watched it again Sunday. White House deputy press secretary Larry Speakes said the Broadcast's political impact remains to be seen.

He said a public opinion poll conducted by George Washington University of viewers before and after the movie did not find a negative political impact for Reagan. "The president was better off afterward," Speakes said. Reagan was asked about the movie at a ceremony in the Rose Garden where he was presented with a 50-pound turkey for Thanksgiving. Reagan spared the bird's life and donated it to a children's farm in Reston, Va. The largest audience ever for a television movie an estimated 100 million people saw "The Day After," ABC said Monday.

"I do not want this film to be a preview of coming attractions," said Lawrence Mayor Da-vid Longhurst. "This is still the day before. We must not wait until the day after." The $7 million film became a rallying point for groups supporting various proposals for arms control, but the Reagan administration also entered the fray with Secretary of State George Shultz defending administration policies. Students at Allen Park Middle School in suburban Detroit were talking about the show Monday. "They thought it was scary, but not in a personal sense," said principal Bob Wilkenson.

ENID her, looked into the blank and for the TV room. The show began slowly. For nearly an hour, the characters made themselves known: a doctor, a farmer, an airman, a young woman preparing for her wedding day. The younger Jeremy missed much of this. His youth choir had performed that day in Estes Park, and he arrived home shortly before the missiles struck.

He sank into a chair and took up what remained of the popcorn. His father filled him in: a blockade of Berlin; Moscow evacuated. On the screen bombers took off, and in the controlled frenzy of military control rooms, the locks were taken off controls to fire U.S. missiles.

been talking about "The Day Wednesday, Resthaven SIMUNEK Jerrv 74 re- Anti-nuclear groups sponsored discussions of nuclear arms across the country Monday, including one at a church in New York and another at the Young Women's Christian Association in Pittsburgh. A group in St. Louis launched a three-day petition drive at supermarkets. In Lawrence, where 500 people showed up for a candelight peace ceremony Sunday night, a dozen people held a counterdemonstration Monday, marching across the University of Kansas campus in support of Reagan's nuclear arms policies. Later, more than 100 people gathered for a town meeting, organized by Let Lawrence Live, a disarmament group.

On Sunday night, Shultz called the movie a "vivid and dramatic portrayal" of the unacceptability of a nuclear war. He said Reagan's policy of deterrence and negotiated arms reduction was the only sensible course to avoid such a war. But other administration officials were more critical Monday. The graphic depiction of nuclear war was "exactly the wrong thing to be saying to the American people," said Elliott Abrams, assistant secretary of state for human rights and humanitarian affairs. "To say that nuclear war is terrible is banal," said Abrams.

"To say to young people that nuclear war is terrible, again, I think, who needs to learn that lesson? What I think people need to learn as a lesson is that the avoidance of nuclear war, which is the central task of our time, is very complicated and requires thought rather than emotion." "Difficult problems are not solved by sentimon-talism, and this show did nothing to help people address a very complicated problem of policymak After" all last week at school, man missiles on Dngnt, white pil lars of flame.

By the end they sat very still, the whole family, silently watching a man on his knees in the dusty, contaminated rubble of his house. "It wasn't real until the end when the girl has no hair and she was so pretty before," said 16-year-old Suki Shamos.

Her 13-year-old brother, Jeremy, agreed: "Even if you survive, how could you really live if your family is dying and your son is blind?" Jeremy Shamos Sr. is 46, a lawyer and a lover of art, opera and the Denver Broncos football team. And on Sunday night he and his wife, Susan, and both children chose to watch ABC's television movie "The Day After" as a family. It was not a casual decision. Like many others, they had read newspaper and magazine articles about its graphic nature, and the school had sent home a note recommending that children watch with their parents.
