make the case for finding bases in the Persian Gulf area he reasoned An Army officer with Mideast experience said the Soviet intervention in AtOanistan dramatizes that the president has three fundamental choices when it comes to using military power in the Persian Gulf: Do nothing find bases or spend an astronomical ammount of mon batch of justification papers in the Pentagon for using bases in the Middle East as at least a temporary arrangement Shortly before Christmas a team of Pentagon and State Department officials ming through several Middle East countries seeking permission to use baseVashington sources report that Saudi Arabia continued to greet this idea warily while Kenya Oman and Somalia were receptive No formal agreements have been announced however "We have an expression in the Penlagon" said one general in siaiing that Afghanistan would provide a fresh sense of urgency to the search for bases "that every time we get into deep kimchi (a Korean spicy cabbage dish) the Russian do us a favor This is going to help us" ''Afghanistan" said one Navy official "has nothing to do with the national security of the United States directly But it rnent as well One officer said the ideal would be to duplicate the base of Korat in Thailand someplace in the Middle East A second prospective benefit military leaders agree is Afghan tribesman pinning down Soviet troops Vietnam-style "It will be interesting" said one general "to see whether the Soviets occupy cities and lines of communications and leave to the Afghan army to go after the guerrillas in the hills or whether the Soviets go after them" The latter course he predicted would prove difficult and force the Soviets to go after the guerrillas with helicopters the same way American troops pursued the enemy in Vietnam The image of the modern Soviet military machine trying to crush the native Moslems uprising would be an exploitable propaganda opportunity for the West another officer said To make the Soviet stay in Afghanistan By GEORGE WILSON lt1980 Washington Post WASHINGTON The Soviet Union's deep involvement in the Afghanistan coup has a shock value that could prove benficial to the United States in several areas a wide spectrum of military lead 'ers said Wednesday For one thing they said the spectre of SO1 et troops fanning out through Afghanistan underscores the reality Ihat the United States has no launching pad for itsown military power in the Persian Gulf arra The Soviet invasion came less ihan two rnonths after Iranian militants took over the US Embassy in Tehran and held Americans there at gunpoint The most the United States has been prepared to do in response militarily is amass warships off Iran The Iranian crisis spawned a fresh LOVE ME LOVE MY RAT tips from

Afghan guerrillas perhaps by sending the equipment by way of the Chinese or the Pakistanis Besides underscoring the need for bases in the Persian Gulf area and pinning down Soviet forces in Afghanistan for an indefinite period US military leaders said Afghanistan would help cure the Vietnam "never-again" hangover of the American public "You can't wish the world into a peaceful place" said one officer Military views as to why the Soviets moved into Afghanistan varied One high-ranking official theorized that the Soviets saw the country "slipping away" and were not willing to let that happen Another predicted the intervention was part of a master plan to dominate the oil-rich Persian Gulf Still another officer theorized that the Deputy Chief Edwin Dreher commander of Bronx detectives said that the investigation into the possibility that Berkowitz had an accomplice had been concluded several weeks ago without uncovering any such evidence Cinotti could not be reached for comment Another detective in his squad said he was on vacation Berkowitz who was arrested outside his Yonkers NY apartment on Aug 10 1977 had told the police that he acted alone when he killed six

state predicting this could end up being stabilizing for everybody in that part of the world Adm Elmo Zumwalt retired chief of naval operations said neither rights to bases in the Persian Gulf nor President Carter's plans for increasing the defense budget would keep the Soviets from pulling off other Afghanistans The United States Zumwit said simply has neither he conventional nor sirategic nuclear forces needed to Lake on he Soviets and will not have them "for several years even if Carter moves briskly AM he's not moving briskly but making frighteningly modest increases in he defense budget" "Ws business-as-usual while the globe is 'Aiming" Zumwalt said The United States must spend an extra $50 billion a year for the next four years on defense to calch up with to he Soviets he said punished cal that Berkowitz had an accomplice One sore point reportedly involved a trip by Cinotti io Minot ND to inquire into the possibility of a link between Berkowitz and the late John Carr The detecive made the trip at his on expense and on his own time although he is said to have carried with him a letter of ntroduction from a police supervisor John Carr who was 31 years old when he died of gunshot wounds in Minot in February 1978 was the son of Sam Carr a Yonkers neighbor of Berkowitz Berkowitz who did not personally know Sam Carr had referred to the older Carr as his "master"

len who wants to be an animal health technician and admits a longstanding grudge against rats in general "We had a behavorial training project tin school) and most of the ails used rats except me" she says "I used a dog I just couldn't understand why anyone would want to work with a rat" But when a classmate decided to release Columbus in an apartment complex after the project was over the soft spot in her heart for animals overruled her own distaste for Columbus and his brethren "Columbus knows me and he knows his name" Ms Dillen says even though Columbus is probably a menial midget when compared with the neighborhood pooch "Yesterday he was on my sister's shoulder and I came in and he ran straight to me Of course I feed him so he also identifies me thmugh that" However Columbus is no
