The FCC assented to a recom mendation from a communica tions advisory committee that such announcements be sent to the broadcast news desks of The Associated Press and United Press International starting this Saturday. The news desks would then re lay the alert messages to all radio and television stations on their wires, treating them as top- priority news stories. The Emergency Broadcast System is tested each Saturday morning and Sunday evening with test messages transmitted from civil defense offices at Col orado Springs, Colo. Last Saturday, a civilian em ployee of the Army grabbed the wrong tape and mistakenly trans mitted, through an automatic link into the AP and UPI wires nationwide, a real alert message directing most stations to go off the air and others to clear the airwaves for a further message from the President or frotn Civil Defense. Then, in Sunday night’s test, the usual practice message did not get through to the AP wires, although the UPI wire was acti vated. , In Thursday’s meeting of the advisory group, both AP and UPI asked to retain control over their wires in the future. This procedure was adopted and apparently will be tested at least until April 27, a date set by the advisory committee for submission of final proposals. Although the advisory com mittee has no legal authority to change the rules, administered by the FCC, participation in the emergency broadcast system is on a voluntary basis. David Bowen, director of com munications for The AP, said after the meeting that civil de fense authorities at Colorado Springs would continue to send out the alert messages, known as Emergency Action Notifications, on their existing teletype links to . AP in New York and UPI in Chicago, but without activating the “seize-key” devices that would otherwise take control of the AP and UPI broadcast news wires. Instead, he said, news person nel would relay the message, after telephoning the White House communications office for confirmation. He said this relay procedure would take about one minute longer than an automatic wire- takeover by civil defense, but would be more reliable. Bowen said the news services want the system changed so that alert messages would originate directly from the White House, with some system of authentica tion. Under the law, the Presi dent of the United States is the only person authorized to put a real alert into motion. Earlier Thursday, Sen. John C. Stennis, D.-Miss., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee, announced that a pre paredness subcommittee is invest igating the problems in the emer gency broadcast system. He said the subcommittee would try to find out why Satur day’s false alert occurred and whether the system would work properly in a real emergency. It’s often spy vs. spy, Congress told WASHINGTON <A>>—Congress was told Thursday that the mili tary’s domestic surveillance often is a case of spy vs. spy, like the time 53 agents watched one an other among 66 civilian demon strators.

That account and other such examples were advanced to the Senate subcommitte on consti tutional rights by Lawrence Lane, former intelligence coordinator at the post and now an aide to Rep. Robert N. Giamo, D.-Con. Under questioning by Chair man Sam J. Ervin Jr., D.-N.C., Lane declared, “Rivalry between various military intelligence groups was so great the agents were watching each other to de termine what the others were watching so we could see what was important.” Lane, who was assigned to the 5th Military Intelligence Detach ment at Ft. Carson, said he once found himself named on another agent’s report as a “dissident soldier” because he was spotted attending a civilian antiwar meeting. Lance said he was there on surveillance duty himself. Lane, like several other former agents, testified that he and his colleagues maintained extensive files on civilian goups and indi viduals. In one case, he said, his unit was to monitor a “symposium on Violence” at Colorado College, and ordered dossiers on the scheduled speakers from Ft. Hola- bird, Md. He said the intelligence back ground received from Ft. Hola- bird on civil rights activist Dick Gregory “was so tainted that it was unusable.” It was “com pletely subjective, based on un substantiated information and un reliable sources,” he said. Lane said that, typically, at tempts were made to link indi viduals to Communist organiza tions through a process of guilt by association.” Spare parts medicine (Continued from page 1) philosophies concerning dissection and even autopsy, are probably being carried on today in respect to feelings about transplants.” “The first kidney transplants were denounced as immoral and premature . . . just as the Wright brothers were mocked at Kitty Hawk,” he said. “And even now it is easier to build machines to take over the body functions than it is to argue for human parts.” Of course, the main trouble in the use of human parts concerns the amount of time spent in ar guing about the use of the parts after death, he commented. “As it now stands, we cannot keep kidneys for more than 28 hours. And as far as hearts go, the best ones for transplants are still beating.” Is it then ethical to speed up the dying process if there is no way to save the patient? Fletcher believes so if the pa tient has agreed previously. “When the brain is gone, such as in an irreversible coma, we cannot worry about keeping the rest of the body going,” he said. “Why is it ethically right to terminate life in uterus (abor tion), and wrong to end it in ter minus ?” he argued. Concerning religious objections to transplants, Fletcher said that he believes the Pope would pose no real objections. “I believe he would say moral ly we should sacrifice a part for the sake of the whole,” he said* “though I am sure he would not condone premature termination of life for the sake of saving an organ.” “It is not right to allow a man’s other 17 good organs be buried because one has lost its sponta neous function,” he continued. “We imagine ourselves proper ly playing the role of the ‘god of the (moral) gaps’ ” Fletcher stated. GSC thanks (Continued from page 1) Caperton reminded the GSC members who are ex-officio sen ators to attend. “This requires a two-thirds majority of the membership to pass. An absence counts as a no vote. Normal absences alone could kill this thing.” Concerning the bulletin to be sent to people who inquire about the Graduate College, Phil Phil lips (Bio.) said he didn’t see any use in sending it out. “There’s nothing in the bulletin” Phillips said, “that’s not in the student handbook. It’s just a waste.” not in the handbook.” “We ought to include a list of the housing,” Phillips said. “You can’t even get a map, a street map, from the Chamber of Com merce. I couldn’t even get the time of day from the Chamber of Commerce.” “You’re wrong,” Bedinger said, “The bulletin mentions housing and recreation in Bryan and Col lege Station. This information is “We want to keep this thing as current as possible,” Bedinger said, “with phone numbers and addresses it would lose it’s value in a few years.” The GSC voted nine to four to send out the bulletin. President Larry McGill (Vet.Path.) invited Phillips to join the Communica tions Committee so he could rec ommend changes in the bulletin. “If you will itemize what you feel needs to be changed, we will work on it,” Bedinger said.
