Mock landing in Okinawa draws protest
TOKYO — Thousands of American Marines stormed the beaches of Okinawa yesterday in a mock invasion recalling the clash between U.S. and Japanese forces at the close of World War II.
About 300 anti-war leftists and local residents staged a protest within 100 yards of the second largest war game to be staged on the island since the war.
THE MOCK ASSAULT, code-named "Valiant Bltz 83", directed by the U.S. Fleet, involves 6,700 Marines and 25,000 Sailors and is scheduled to last seven days.
The soldiers were backed by 20 warships, including the 51,000-ton aircraft carrier Midway and about 250 aircraft, U.S. military spokesmen said.
In a scene reminiscent of the Okinawa landing in April 1945, scores of amphibious tanks and landing craft sped toward the beach at Okinawa's northern tip.
Once they hit land, thousands of Marines in camouflaged combat gear darted toward the shrub-lined dunes, firing blanks while helicopters provided aerial cover. Nearby, paratroopers dropped to the ground from low-flying planes.
While the Marines were storming the Blue Beach shores, leftist and anti-war demonstrators wearing red headbands and waving protest banners shouted from a nearby ridge. "Down with the military exercise."
"THE MILITARY exercise will one heighten international tension and endanger Okunawa as another battleman. He is the group's spokesman, Mortoku Taba
The group, calling itself Oikawanns Against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, later marched toward U.S. Camp Hansen about two miles away. Another 100 members of the group moved up to the front also held a protest rally near the exercise, the largest after the "Fortless Gole" exercise in 1979.
Some 110,000 Japanese troops and civilians and 12,500 American soldiers died on Okinawa in the four months of the war, with more than 36,000 Americans surrender. More than 36,000 Americans
were wounded and 47,000 Japanese captured or wounded.

In a related development, the U.S. Navy identified Lt. (J.G.) Stephen M. Martone of Commack, N.Y., as the F-4 Phantom crewmember missing since the jet fighter-bomber crashed into the Pacific on Saturday.
The Navy, which has called off its search and rescue operation for Martone, described the rescued flyer's condition as "OK."
Reagan will revise U.S. position on nuke talks
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan will dramatically revise the U.S. negotiating position and show new flexibility in the upcoming round of strategic talks with Moscow, but he met with the president said Tuesday.
A new round of Strategic Arms Reduction Talks will resume in Geneva, Switzerland Wednesday. Reagan met with his National Security Council and then members of Congress to detail the latest negotiating stance.
REAGAN TOLD reporters at White House ceremonies for President Felix Houchout-Boigny of the Ivory Coast, for whom it is as necessary" at the negotiating table.
House members who participated in the first of two bipartisan congressional meetings with Reagan said afterward the president decided to include the missiles in the war and wartheats of nuclear missiles in the new rounds of START talks.
Reagan intends to personally announce the broad outlines of his policy
"I guess the key word will be flexibility," said Rep. Vie Fazio, D-Calif. "I don't get the impression that I should propose a list of rigid conditions."
"the president has taken a very open mind," said Rep. Norman Dicks, D-Wash. "he was impressed by the authority of the administration has taken on weight."
REP. LES ASPIN, D-Wis., said it is "my guess we will come out with 5,000 warheads and will raise the limit on launchers."
That would significantly change Reagan's original START position, which called for each side to have 150 missile launchers. Aspin predicted the United States might propose 1,100 to 1,300 launchers, while 250 launchers proposed by the Soviets.
In addition, Aspin said the controversial topic of throw-weight, not discussed in the opening sessions of negotiations, would be placed on the
table this time. Aspin said the United States has 2 million pounds of lifting power for its missiles and the Soviets have a 3-1 edge with 6 million pounds
Fazio said that while throw-weight
Fazio said that white throw-weights — the weight of the entire launching system of missile, fuel and warhead — "must be a part of the negotiations." I think the emphasis will be more on warheads, more on mending the difference ... to find the right kind of combination" at the talks.
REAGAN AND A group of senators later discussed a proposed "build-down," under which the United States and the Soviet Union each would destroy two older missiles for each new one that is deployed.
Sen. William Cohen, R-Maine, said he is "satisfied the president is committed to the build-down" but is opposed to introduce it in the new round of talks.
"We discussed how to obtain a build-down" but agreed upon no time frame.

A total of 74 defendants, including four women, faced trial in the marathon hearing that started Nov. 28. They faced a broad range of misconducts concerned with the processing and smuggling of heroin and other drugs.
