TERRACE, B.C, (CP) — A
man is missing and’ presumed
drowned after he jumped from
a seaplane thal ran into trouble
as it was landing Wednesday at
Kalum Lake, 17 miles north of
Terrace.

He has not been identified.

A search will resume today.

A Grumman Goose aircraft,
owned by Trans-provincial
Airlines, was landing at Kalum
Lake after a flight from
Stewarl, 200 miles north of
Terrace, with eight passengers.

It has been expected all along
‘that Nixon would have to rule
ultimately on the super-blast

vironmentalists in this country
and by Canada and Japan. But

Nixon spokesmen have said
only that the matter is under

The House accepted the re-
striction on a 377-9 vote and
without debate, The Senate then
gave unanimous passage to the
compromise bill, sending it to
the White House. .

_ Nixon gets ‘one man say’
on Armchitka nuclear bli:

came amid indications that the
underground weapons test,
largest ever undertaken by: the
AEC, may already have been
cancelled, or at least. postponed
from its early-October target
date. :

The Anchorage newspaper
Alaska Times. said Wednesday
it has learned from a “reliable”
but unnamed source that the
test has been delayed for 30
days, moving back the target
date until early November.

The newspaper quotes the
source sas saying, '‘After that,
the shot is still on, but—and that
‘but’ may mean that it will be
postponed further or maybe
called off."

_ InLas Vegas, an AEC spokes-
man declined to comment on
the report, and in Washington,

White House spokesman ‘Jerry:
Warren said there has been ‘no
change at aill’’ in the nuclear
test program.

“The whole program is under
review,’” Warren said, and
“when the review is complete a
decision will then be made.”

Sources in Congress say the
five-megaton . bomb was
lowered 300 feet into its Aleutian
Island test hole last week, but
Thursday 300 of the 780 workers
at the site were laid off for at
least three weeks.

The AEC acknowledged it
wanted to carry out the test
early in October, given presi-
dential approval, ‘but refused to
say whether the decision to lay
off a third of the work force
meant the blast would be de-
layed, '
