German says Carter's election won't alter U.S. role in Europe
By MARTIN ZIMMERMAN
The specter of isolationism will probably prevent President-elect Jimmy Carter from making any fundamental changes in the American military commitment to Western Europe when he takes office in January, a German newsman said yesterday.
Jan Reifenberg, a Washington correspondent for the daily newspaper Frankburter Allegemeine Zeitung, told a group of about 35 people yesterday at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences "no alternative but to keep America on track." Europe for an indefinite period of time.
Removing the four and one-half divisions that the United States has stationed in West Germany would threaten the future of NATO. he said.
"WITHDARAWAL OF these troops would mean a return to isolationism for the United States," Refenken said, "and our age would allow for the luxury of isolationism."
Reifengen said that the fragmentation of the NATO alliance, which has accelerated in recent years, would be made virtually permanent by increasing strength from Europe. Poor economic conditions throughout the continent and the election of Communists into several NATO-member governments would make it difficult for the new members to replace American troops, he said.
He said that the continued Soviet build-up of troops in Eastern Europe was also a strong argument against withdrawal of American troops from the area.
REIFENBERG ALSO gave a political reason for Carter's inclination to keep U.S. forces in Europe. Democratic Presidents, he said, are reluctant to radically change their approach Europe for fear of drawing criticism from the Republicans and the public.
He said that West Germany considered
the United States to be its most valuable ally, and that the recent elections both here and in Germany would have little effect on that standing.
"The United States and the Federal Republic (of Germany) are bound to cooperate," he said. "There is just no other way. I don't see Carter rushing to Bonn or Washington, but I can see (German Chancellor Heinrich) Schmidt coming here in due time."
THE MOST CRITICAL foreign policy problem facing Carter during the next four years, Refengen said, will probably be the challenge for the Organization meeting next month of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will probably result in higher oil prices, he said, and such an action can have a significant impact in Europe and in the United States.
"In Western Europe, a 10 per cent increase in oil prices will mean that they will fall back into a new recession," he said, "and this will have effects in America, also. The battle for energy will be the major threat to West Germany and the U.S. in the future."
REFIENBERG SAID that Carter's pledge to open his foreign policy dealings to the American people was a "nice promise," but he added that it may be hard to reconcile morality with the exercise of power in international affairs.
As an example, Reifenberg said that Carter's statement about not sending troops to Yugoslavia in the event of a Soviet invasion could have been correct. Carter has since corrected, was a mistake.
"It is an elementary lesson in diplomacy class A that you don't tell your adversary what you will do," he said. "The element of politeness, the whole basis of the strategy of deterrotes.
"In other words, Carter will find out that being President is quite a different story

Both capital improvements were high on KU's budget request.
Once the legislators see that the additions will be academically sound, economical in the long-run and energy-saving, the cuts should be restored, he said.
REIFENBERG, WHO covered Carter's campaign since the New Hampshire primary, said he had some difficulty exonerating him. Mr. Carter, 340,000 Germans who read the Zeitung every day. He said he thought that Carter's religious convictions were gemine, but repeated his belief that Carter's greatest achievement was to build beliefs with the power of the presidency.
"MALOTT AND Robinson have tremendous space problems," Lucas said, and added that Malott needed to remodel its animal care center to meet federal regulations.
"It is very difficult to explain to a German reader what exactly Jimmy Carter 'is', said Reifenberg, who earlier this year had made a trip to Plains, Ga., to find out "you have to know the South. You have to know the North. You must understand what the South has been through."

Such insights don't come easily to Europeans, he said. A story Reitenberg wrote in a recent interview about Gerald Ford's chances having "gone with the wind." That sentence, he said, was removed by an editor who couldn't understand what he was talking about.
Lacasa also said he hoped that the money requested for the renovation of Lindley, Green and Marvin halls, and the Spooner Museum of Art, would be restored.
"It's more economical to renovate Spinner and Green while they're vacant," Laura
The renovation of Spooner is important because it is in the National Register of Historic Places.
