AEC claims
no damage

from blast

WASHINGTON (AP) — The-
chairman of the U,A, Atomic
Energy Commission said Mon-
day environmental damage to
AMchitka Island from the un-
derground nuclear blast Nov. 6
was minimal. He also aid it is
not likely that nuclear material
now in the hole will ever seep
into the ocean,

Dr. James R. Schlesinger told
a congressional subcommittee
that he is firmly convinced that
“whatever damage has taken
place to date will be the extent
of the damage.”

He said the AEC will continue
to monitor the waters around
Amchitka, in Alaska’s Aleutian
Islands measure any leakage
“if any should occur.”

“Tt is conceivable an earth-
quake could fracture the rock
and cause leakage of the mate-
rial,’ replied Schlesinger. “But
the likelihood of that is very
low.”

Schlesinger added: ‘I can re-
port with pride that the Canni-
kin test appears to have been
successful based on a quick look
at the diaguostics, and we now
should be able to introduce the
Spartan warhead into the weap-
ens inventory within the appro-
priate deployment schedule,”

He said the blast did cause a
number of cliffs on the Bering
Sea side to slide into the ocean
and nesting :sites.,of. four. ‘bald -
eaples-were destroyed. *

picions come into play,” he

leaders by petty polities. Are
we going to fight among our-

selves or work together? Are -

we going to build this organiza-
tion or destroy it?”

Alaska
fishermen

pipeline

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alas-
ka’s fishermen are taxing
themselves a penny per fish to
pay for a court battle against
the proposed trans-Alaska
pipeline, which they contend
would destroy their livelihood.

"It’s just that oil and fish are

not -. compatible,” Knute
Johnson tolda news conference
here Tuesday,

“We are not against a pipeline
as such,"" said Johnson,

‘chairman of the Cordova Dis-

trict fisheries union. “We are
not against progress and em-
ployment and money for Alaska
..." The CDFU is asking that
the Interior ‘ Department’ be
prohibited from granting a.
permit for the pipeline to run
800 miles from the North Slope
to a tanker terminal at Valdez.
The 450-member union
charges that heavy ship traffic
through the Valdez Arm would
inevitably lead to oil spills
which would destroy crabs,

salmon and other fish, Johnson ;

said the area often is en-
shrouded by fog and is subject

fo winds of 80-100 miles per

hour.

LONDON (CP) — Sir Alex-
"ander Cadogan, permanent
“head of the British foreign of,

fice, rated Neville Chamber- ©

lain as “‘the best of the lot”
‘ among political leaders,

In Cadogan's view, Winston

Churchill was rambling . and

sentimental. Foreign Secre-

tary Anthony Eden. was al-
ways jumping about and Field
Marshal Viscount:
Montgomery .was more “‘a
film star” than a general.

AH through the Second
World War, Cadogan faith-
fully committed his inner
thoughts to diaries, now pub-
lished in book form by Cas:

of a civil servant in a high
position of trust who tried des-
perately to prevent war but
once committed was deter-
mined that there would be no
turning back. until the fight

HAD GREATINSF LUENCE

As top diplomatle adviser,
Cadogan wielded tremendous
influerice in both the Cham-
berlain and Churchill govern-
ments, In 1938 he believed
that the “parrot cry” of rear-'
mament was merely a confes-
sion of foreign policy failure,

“Wemust not go to war; we
can't go to war,'’ he wrate
and then in another page
added: “A u tum n crocuses

portend?”

He was often called to
Buckingham Palace to confer
with King George VI In 1938
he felt sorry for the monarch,
intelligent and well informed
and yet acutely aware he was
“unable to do-anything."

He spoke to Benito Musso-

Corvairs
defective ?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen-

eral Motors Corp. agreed Tues-
day to notify some 760/000 own-
ers of Corvair automobiles,
from the 1961-through the 1969-
year models, of possible heater
system defects.

’ The manufacturer will advise
Corvair owners to have their
ears inspected by a Chevrolet
dealer and repaired, if neces-
sary, to eliminate dangerous
fumes, .

The inspections and repairs
will be made at the expense of
the owners unless’ warranty
provisions are still in effect.

Transportation Secretary
John A. Volpe announced the
agreement one day before a
‘meeling at which General Mo-
tors was to have appeared with
regard to an Oct. 29 finding of
the national highway traffic
safety administration that a
safety defect existed in the en-

Zine-and-heater system of Cor-.

vairs of the 1965-year model.
In view of the new develop-
ment, the meeting was can-
celled. General Motors disputed
the finding, but agreed to issue
