LABOR SAYS VOTE VINDICATES ITS ROLE
Date: 18 June 1984

With Walter F. Mondale the apparent victor in the campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination, American labor leaders say their decision to give him an early endorsement has been vindicated. They say the labor movement has a right and responsibility to engage in political campaigns, and that, while unions cannot order members how to vote or ''deliver'' large blocks of voters, labor's political strength has been reaffirmed. ''The record is now clear,'' Lane Kirkland, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, said recently. ''Where our members were fully informed and turned out in substantial numbers, they chose Walter Mondale, and they made a difference.'' ''Without the A.F.L. and the union work,'' says Robert D. Squier, a Democratic political consultant, ''there is no question that Hart would be the nominee.''

Nicaragua, Pro and Contra
Date: 18 June 1984
Though President Reagan wouldn't agree, Congress would do him a service by ending his anomalous overt covert war against Nicaragua. From its inception in 1981, this operation has affronted principle and sense. Yet for a variety of reasons, Congress has been unwilling to deny funds to anti-leftist rebels harassing a hostile Marxist regime. It's worth reviewing those reasons.

SOVIET SAID TO LEAD U.S. BY 8,000 WARHEADS

The Soviet Union has moved ahead of the United States in numbers of nuclear warheads, according to a new Defense Department estimate. Obtained by advocates of arms control, the estimate indicates that the Soviet Union has about 34,000 nuclear warheads for its bombers, long-range and medium-range missiles, artillery and cruise missiles. The United States, by comparison, has 26,000 warheads. The new estimate, prepared under the auspices of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Atomic Affairs, Richard L. Wagner, shows that the Soviet Union overtook the United States in nuclear warheads more than five years ago.

DEBATE ON PENTAGON COMPUTER PLAN FOCUSES ON MILITARY'S EFFECT ON SOCIETY

A Defense Department plan to spend $600 million over five years to develop a new generation of computer-based military systems has become the focus of a debate among a number of senior computer scientists. Carrying out the plan, according to its sponsor, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, would ''provide the United States with important new methods of defense against massed forces in the future.'' The agency further contends that as the results of the research become dispersed throughout society, they would give the American people ''a significantly improved capability to handle complex tasks and to codify, mechanize and propagate their knowledge'' while at the same time improving the ability of industrial, political and military leaders to ''manage large enterprises, even in times of stress.'' Criticism of the plan, which was put forth last fall, has been varied. Some scientists have objected to the immediate goals of the project itself, contending that the aims cannot be achieved and, indeed, that the project will substantially increase the chances of war.

A plan to curtail the military role of the United States in Central America was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate. By a vote of 63 to 31, the Senate defeated a proposed measure that would have prohibited use of military forces in or over Nicaragua and El Salvador for combat purposes without the prior approval of Congress.

Voting for the European Parliament dealt defeats for both the left and right, with the French left apparently the biggest loser, according to computer projections and partial results. (Page A1, Column 6.) Poles seemed unenthusiastic as they voted for local councils throughout the country in the first election since martial law was imposed in December 1981. The atmosphere was calm, and the clandestine calls in Warsaw for demonstrations were overhwelmingly ignored. (A1:4.)

NEW LEADER FOR CANADA: JOHN NAPIER TURNER
Date: 18 June 1984
By Douglas Martin, Special To the New York Times
Douglas Martin
On Sept. 10, 1975, John Napier Turner, then Canada's Finance Minister, stalked out of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau's office in what is recalled now as grim anger. The reasons for his resignation are a mystery that neither man has fully explained. During the three-month campaign that ended Saturday with his election as leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party, Mr. Turner attributed his leave-taking to a difference with the Prime Minister over voluntary wage and price controls. Mr. Trudeau denied this explanation in a written statement, but offered none of his own. Even Mr. Turner's friends suggest that the new leader was motivated more by Mr. Trudeau's stubbornness about stepping aside in favor of the ambitious Mr. Turner.
