University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, February 14, 1989 7 Nation/World Diplomatic challenges face Baker The Associated Press BONN, West Germany โ€” Secretary of State James A. Baker III, on his first diplomatic tour of Western European capitals, is finding it difficult to compete with the public relations blitz of Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev, a senior U.S. official said yesterday. Baker also is having problems with West German leaders, who are reluctant to support the upgrading of NATO's tactical nuclear missiles, said the official, who requested anonymity. But after touching base in six of the 15 allied capitals, Baker's biggest problem is Gorbachev and the inroads he has made in Western European public opinion. "There is just an attraction, an intriguing quality to Gorbachev that you have to answer somehow," said the official, who has participated in most of the meetings Baker has conducted on his trip. Responding to strong disarmment feelings among the German people, Chancellor Helmut Kohl last week proposed a delay of two or three months for a short-range Lance missile deployed in that country. Kohl told reporters that he wanted NATO to handle its defense strategy a disarmament mandate. NATO faces a decision in a few months on the Russian missile system. U-SBU- rockets from 70 miles about 150 miles After talking to the chancellor, Baker told reporters that he hoped the issue could be settled at a NATO summit meeting, which is scheduled for late May in Brussels. Visiting 15 capitals in eight days is testing Baker's endurance. Yesterday, for instance, was a three-country day, with stops in Denmark, Norway and West Germany. Today, Baker goes to Turkey, Greece and Italy. The conversations in Canada, Iceland, Britain, Germany, and Japan were warm, wery warm, wery warm, and professional, the official And yet, the official said, Baker is having a hard time competing with Gorbachev's high-profile diplomacy. The Soviet leader is withdrawing Soviet troops from Afghanistan and has offered to remove six tank divisions and 50,000 men from Eastern Europe. Baker countered by pointing out to Western ministers that Gorbachev was faced with a failing economy at home, the U.S. official said. But that did not alter people's perceptions of Gorbachev. News Briefs ited public disgust with the scandal for its victory in a special parliamentary election Sunday, and it demanded that Takeshita resign or call new general elections. Japanese waited to see what prosecutors would do next because dozens of politicians, businessmen and journalists were among those who bought bargain-priced stock unavailable to the public, and then profitted handsomely when public sales began and prices soared. Takeshita told reporters yesterday that he hoped for a full investigation into the scandal, but refused to comment further. A Takeshita aide and relative have been linked to the stock purchases. Manley was returned to office in a landslide victory Thursday against conservative Prime Minister Edward Seaga, who had led the Caribbean nation for eight years and was one of the United States' closest allies in the region. Study says pressures cause research fraud WASHINGTON โ€” Pressures to attract grants, develop drugs and publish new findings create an environment that tolerates fraud and misconduct in medical research. According to a study released yesterday. JAPANESE STOCK SCANDAL! Prosecutors in Tokyo yesterday made the first arrests directly involving the stock transactions that have scandalized the government of Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita. PREDICTING ALCOHOLICS: A questionnaire that assesses about alcohol can identify young adolescents who are at risk for later problem drinking, according to a New York study that one expert calls an exciting development in fighting alcohol abuse. NEW JAMAICAN LEADER: A more moderate Michael Manley is taking the reins as Jamaica's prime minister for the third time, having transformed from a radical socialist during the 1970s to a supporter of continued ties with the United States. The Japan Socialist Party cred Although the study, which was by the private Institute of Medicine, said that instances of outright laboratory fraud remained rare, its authors recommended that the medical research community should overhaul the practice to control such things as fabricated data, plagiarism and carelessness. Manley, 64, who was prime minister from 1792 to 1890, was to be sworn in yesterday to a five-year King's house, the British Kingston residence of the British governor-general, Sir Florizel Glaspole. Arthur H. Rubenstein, chairman of medicine at the University of Chicago, said that in the past decade there had been a sharpened competition for shrinking research money and a growing need to establish reputations through the publication of findings. To protect society from research flaws, he said, the science community needed to use new ways to encourage ethical research and to deal with cheaters. Past methods, including peer review and duplication, are insufficient now to prevent careless, sloppy or fraudulent research, he said.
