TOLE!)(), Ohio (AP) - A Maralhon Oil Co
economist says that world oil s~pplies will remai~
tight, but claims the loss of Iranian crude oil would
have less impaci on the nation if the U. S. had what he
called a responsive energy policy.
Marathon's Edward R. Heydinger said Monday
that the U. S. is dangerously reliant on foreign oil
r~yes because the nation is not promoting a
maxmmm effort to develop domestic energy

COMMENTARY

WASHiNGTON (NEA) --The growmg debate over the need
to reviw the rmhtary draft appears to be stilTing new mterest
In the concept of universal national servtce, but the two do not
nceessartly go together.
Pressure for renewal of the draft 1s almost entirely
pi dgmattc m ortgm, stemming from concern in mthtary
c~&lt;des and on Cap1tol Hill about the quant1ty and quality of
recrUits avallable to the all-volunteer armed forces
Proposal!; for creating a national youth serviCe, on the other
hand, are msp1red ,by a more abstract des1re to harness the
ldeahsm of youth for the benef1t of soc1ety as a whole and a
moral conviction that citizenship entails responslblhlles as
well as privileges.
It is possible that return to tbe draft rrught hasten the
estabhstunenl of a c!VJlian natiOnal service program, but 11 1s
· by no means guaranteed The miUtary has a multitude of
' fmnds on Cap1tol H1ll; IdealiSts have relatively few, especially m this cost-conscious era.
Costs - the dollar kmd, not the human vanety -are contnbuting to the cnl!c!sm now dire&lt;lled at the all-volunteer
' force.lt is unquestionably cheaper to finance a conscript army
than to proVJde the levels of pay and benefits needed to attract
Bnd mamtam an Adequate Ioree of volunteers.
Precious few 18-year-olds. however, consider the forced
· 'disruptiOn of the1r own lives a falf exchange for the relatively
' inodest budget savings that could be gamed through a return
' to the draft. And the pohtiCJans know 11.
That IS why arguments for a reviVal of the draft- or at least
. the compulsory regiStration of all 18-year-&lt;Jlds -have focused
' Increasingly on the preparedness needs of the rrulitary, rather
than the cost 1ssue.
None of the armed serv1ces met their recruiting goals durmg
the fmal quarter of 1978, the flfSt time this has Mppened smce
the draft was abolished in 1973 Reserve force levels are
deteriorating fast. and Pentagon planners say. there 1s no way
they could mob1hze a sufficient number of troops fast enough
• to meet manpower needs if a major war s)jould break out
The manpower squeeze 18 likely to get worse m the years
ahead as the " baby boom" generatwn g1ves way to the
children of th~ "baby bust," and fewer 16-year-olds become
avmlable for Jl!lSSlble service
on.. way out of the dilemma IS to reqwre all young

Amen cans, women as well as men, to put in at least one year
·of service to the nation - either m the rrulitary or m CIVJhan
' roles aimed at flllmg unmet needs, such as canng for the
elderly, working in schools, hospitals, day care centers, or
••sprucmg up natwnal parks.
By offering educational or training benefits as a reward for
•military serv1ce, but no surmlar incentives for CIVIlian duty,
·such a plan could presumably lure enough young people into
1 umfo rm to meet rrulitary needs while still preservmg an element of chOICe.
' A sophisticated version of such a plan was introduced m Con, grcss last week by Rep. Paul N. McCloskey Jr, R-Cahf., and
10 nf his colleagues.from both political parties. II will be the
'subject of hearmgs on Capitol Hill early this spnng.
The catch, however, is the cost factor No matter how ills
orgdmzed, any civilian national service program IS gomg to
cost money- qmte a lot of money- and reqmre extensive new
adlrumstrative machmery.
Congress Just ISn't m the mood to undertake any new expenditures that can be avoided. A uruversal national service program rrught be good for~ country and good for the young ,
· but a return to the draft would be oheaper.' It's all a matter of
' how Congress assesses the political pnce of the alternabves
before 11.

Sparky Anderson 111 New York Yankees' ptnstripes in 1980 -

~ rnarrtsge made in beaven, George's heaven?

Count Billy Martin out as a returning prodigal son. Pillowy,
pleasant Bob Lemon can't wa1t to get out of the dugout and
• those Silly h1gh socks and long pants. His tenure as interim
manager of baseball's most successful and volatile franchise
Is finished after this season- win, lose or draw. He Insists on
it.
So what does that leave' A rich, talent-loaded baseball team
without a skipper and a highly respected, wiruting field general
without a rem. Put them lllgether and - whammo! - you've
got powerful chemistry_
This ma,gic merger seems Inevitable Ill anyone studying the
shifting wmds and the strange vaganes of the personalities involved.
When Anderson was unceremomously fired by the Cincinnati
Reds last November, desptte a record of four National League
titles and two world championships, owner George
Stem brenner of the Yankees called tl "the biggest boo-boo of
the year."
Anderson is Steinbrenner's kind of guy - dignified, msplrational, stnctly Marme spit-and-polish with a fetish for
short hair, sl!aven chins and mtense team pr1de.
He doesn't stray too far fr= George's conception of
Arnenca as "K.ate Smith, apple pie and Yankee pmstr1pes,"
although Sparky may have Ill swallow hard to digest the last
one.
While Sparky is fulfilling the fmal year of his Cincinnati contract with memal jobs, Sle10brenner and Martin are back m
the p1ts agam - exchangmg barbs and butuendoes.
How can these two mavericks - each strong-willed and impetuous - ever find a common ground for a harmonious relationship?
They can't. It's obvious that Stembrenner has girded hunseU
With an escape hatch m prom!Smg to g1ve Martin his job back
"if he carnes hunself in a manner that dignifies the Yankees."
That's like telling a leopard Ill change his spots or like turnIng a bulldog 111to a purring pussy cat. Dignity is not Billy
Martin's long suit -never was and never will be. Stembrenner
knew that when he hired the f1esty f~rebrand as the Yankees'
pilot 111 August 1975
Billy the !Gd's record, first as player, then as manager of
Minnesota, Detrmt and Texas, reads like a page from the Ring
Record Book. He has spent his career feuding with players
(often hiS own) , bosses, the press and fans He hasn't been
reluctant to belt an antagonist when the Situation warranted.
The Yankees• OIW!er was VIS!Wy upset over Marlin's appearance at training camp last week at wh1ch time he said be
and agent Doug Newton were anxwus to turn Stembrenner's
promises mto firm commitments
"Nobody's gomg to put pressure on anybody," Steinbrenner
snapped He sa1d, m effect, that B1lly must shape up or stay
out. ft's a rap the tr1gger-happy Martin can't beat.

Composed &amp; (c) 1976.

The former Cambodmn chief of state is returning to ,
Peking. There 's logic, m his decislOn since he knows the
c1ty well. It was to the Chinese cap1tal he went followmg his ..
overthrow in the 1970 American-supported military coup.
That, 1t may be remembered, was incidental to the
decision of Richard Nixon and Henry Ktssmger to let some 1
hght mto that once much-&lt;hscussed tunnel by carrying the ·
Vtetnam war mto Cambodia What happened was that the
tunnel soon fell m on both VIetnam and Cambodia.
S1hanouk was saJd to have had Pekmg ongmally 10 nund .
wheo, followmg the Vaetnamese mvas1on, the Cambodian f
Cormnunist regime released htm from detention to plead
ats case to the world But after h1s semt-dramatlc
appearance at the Umted Nations, Sihanou.k pronounced a
plague on all houses m the dispute and announced he would
settle an France
The latest change of mind 1s reported to be the result of a
pr1vate conversation wath Chmese VIce Premier Teng
Hs&lt;ao-pmg dunng the latter's U S vis1t. Teng is said to
have argued that China would lose face if Slhanouk now
chose to remam m the West
Face. of course, carries a lot of wetght in the East But
other cons1derat1ons could be mvolved here, havmg more
to do w1th power poht1cs than image. Sihanouk has refused
any assoctahon w1th the Cambodian Conunumsts, in exile
or otherwise But In Pekmg he would be on the scene should
his person and serv1ces be reqwred.
Wtth Vtetnam's blttzkneg m Cambodia already turning
out to be considerably less than total victory, there LS a

"

So what else is new?

During 1ts very long day, the VIetnam war was a hot ~
1ssue in American domestlc pohbcs.
·•
There may have been considerable md1vidual crossing of
party lines and reversmg of party 'commitments as the
d1rection of U S. mvolvement progressed from the Kennedy through the Nixon admimstratwns. But always there
was a strong part1san tone to the debate. In the end, what "
had begun as a Democratic adventure found a Democratic _
congressional leadership facmg off a Republican admimstrabon on the war Issue
Partisanship also has figured 1.11 the Panama Canal
treaties, Afncan policy and the long debate on Chma way •..:
back to the argument over who lost it
This IS by way of a historical background for a current
report out or Washington Republican leaders have decided
to take a cnl1cal stand on the SALT II agreement,
broademng the upconung debate to take in the total u s.Sovlet mihtary and foreign pohcy relationship It is being ~
read as a s1gnal that the party may be ready to abandon r'
btpartasanshlp m foreign affairs
Bipartisanship as a supposed pohcy dates back to World
War II and the conversiOn of Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (RMich ) from 1solat1omsm. Vandenberg's support for an
act1ve U S international role was useful to the Truman
adrrunistratton tn smoothing the way for the United
Nat10ns, the Marshall Plan and NATO. But in later '
decades, there has been more talk about than substance to w 1
b!part1sansh1p.
Partisanship, in fact, is almost always a factor to one ' '
degree or another in the shapmg of Amer1can foreign ~•
policy. As tl should be The natiOn's relations with the rest • , •
of the world are a legitimate public concern and as proper
a subject for partisan debate as any other public ISSUe.
So on w1th the broadened SALT debate. Whatever the "
GOP deciswn on the matter may be signaling, it's t•~

"Phil Ford is U!e best Point
guard in basketball - on any
level."
Cotton Fitzsimmons, the
coach of the Kansas City
Kings, can be .excused for
being e~U!used about Ford,
tl)e rookie who has turned his
team around . Actually,
Fitzsiinmons is quick to point
out tbat his club wouldn 't be
where it is - atop the
National Basketball
Association's Midwest
Division with a 4(1.22 record,
second-best in the league -if
not for the additions of
Darnell Hillman and Billy
McKinney, as well as Ford.
But Ford, a sboo-in for NBA
Rookie of the Year , is
obviously the key ingredient.

support, they probably would
not have been undertaken.
And government officials
say they are sensitive to the
lea~ tl)at they might create a
collection of books reflecting
any sort of official govern·

government financing does

lor
the
Humanities and the National
Endowment for the Parts put
millions of dollars into un·

also subsidizes small literary

first break into print.
When the humanities en·
dowment asked Its librarian,
Jeannette Coletti, to round up
all the books which resulted
from NEH grants, . she
managed to find 839 of them.
At the NEA, 3,000 to 4,000

of $10,000 to enable U!em lo

But not always.
Inside the paperback cover
of "Fear of Flying" is this
description: 'Erica Jong's
gloriously wicked, sexy novel
about the way things ought to
be for a woman.' "
A few pages later, in her
acknowledgements, Ms. Jong
writes : " And thanks to the

He cites precautions. The
panels which recommend
awards are composed · of
people from outside the
government and the ap·
plicants are asked to submit
examples of their past
writings to prove their talent
but are not even asked lor an
outline of what Uley intend to
produce under government
funding . Ms. Jong won her
grant on the strength of her
poetry.
Karen Kennerly, executive
secretary of the writers '
organization PEN, says, " I
don't know of anyone who has
put in for a grant lor a dicey
book and not gotten it lor that
reason."
A New York writer and
editor, contending that after
10 years it might be weli to
review government · author
relations, says, " We really
don't know. Writers here and
there are beginning to
wonder if they have perhaps subliminally - been
influenced."
Surely when the First
Am endment was drafted,
instructing the government to
keep hands off those who
write, no one expected that
U!ose who write would be
lining up for government
money.
But at the arts endowment,
Biddle - who returned from
driving an ambulance in
World War II to spent 16
years in an attic, writing
no~els- says, "In my time it
was not too difficult, if you
had some tlllent , to find a
publisher. Publishers were
willing to take a risk."
·"Today," he says, "either
Ule government will provide
writers with the time to see if
they can make a career of it
or our writers will simply
have to earn a Jiving doing
something other than
writing."
