The Commerce Department re ported that the code-named Can nikin test "produced some of the most precise seismic data ever recorded for a tremor, natural or manmade." Although environmentalists feared that it might cause serious harm, officials said the blast triggered no natural Earthquakes or tidal waves. However, the hefty, magnitude- 7 earth shock from the detonation itself temporarily shook the lone ly island at least 1.5 inches up and down and 2.3 inches sideways, the report said. It also created a tiny fault in one area. The Atomic Energy Commis sion previously reported that the blast, equivalent to nearly five million tons of TNT, produced only minimal environmental dam age, killing some birds, fish and other wildlife on the island. As the most powerful under ground blast detonated in the Western world, Cannikin appar ently opened the way to making the Spartan anti-ballistics missile fully operational, the AEG has said. Monday’s report by the Com merce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin istration said it might take a year to fully analyze the data. But in listing "probable results,” the report said: “NO A A seismologists expect to extract significant new informa tion on the casual mechanisms of earthquake after-shocks, and hope to be able to apply that knowledge to an improved under standing of natural earthquake source-mechanisms. “Because this work might ap ply to natural earthquakes, it holds particular promise for scientists studying earthquake prediction and mitigation tech niques.” The report said: "Scientists in the United States and in other nations used the seismic waves emanating from Amchitka as a ‘window’ to the earth’s interior.” Other benefits may be toward helping p r o du c e earthquake- resistant buildings and studying the theory of "continental drift,” it said. No discemable natural earth quakes were triggered in the United States, the report said, and "apparently, Cannikin had no effect on earthquake activity elsewhere on the planet.” Orr will probably resign as Democratic chairman DALLAS (A*) — State Demo cratic chairman Roy Orr, under fire for holding the party posi tion after being appointed a Dallas County commissioner, said Wednesday he will probably re sign the party post within 30 days. Secretary of State Bob Bul lock is holding up On-’s certifi cation to the $27,600 county job until he determines whether holding both jobs would be a conflict of interest. Rep. Dick Reed of Oak Cliff joined Bullock in objecting to Orr’s appoint ment. Orr, however, said that "The best legal information I have is that I could continue in both Cadets to participate in exercise with Texas National Guard units Army ROTC cadets of A&M will participate this weekend in a training exercise with Texas National Guard units at Fort Hood. Col. Thomas R. Parsons said more than 50 cadets will cooper ate with units of the Third Bat-< talion (Airborne) of the 143rd Infantry, 71st Airborne Brigade, in a combat equipment mass tactical drop and maneuvers at North Fort Hood. TAMU cadets will act as ag gressor personnel against Guardsmen in small unit tactical missions. The A&M group will include members of the Ranger Company commanded by Stephen O. Swanner, Airborne and Rang er-qualified Cadets and Marine Corps Platoon Leader Class par ticipants. "The exercise will serve as an excellent training vehicle for our people as well as 71st personnel,” pointed out Colonel Parsons, TAMU professor of military sci ence. National Guard units of the Waco, Temple, Marlin and Bry an area will marshall at James Connally Technical Institute in Waco. They will jump into North Fort Hood from C-130s. The drop will occur at 2 p.m. Satur day with the maneuvers to run into the night. A&M cadets in six squad-size teams of eight to 10 men will conduct harassing missions such as raids, ambushes, combat and reconnaissance patrols. Each team will be led by a Ranger- qualified A&M graduate of 1971, who will serve both as instruc tor and leader. The TAMU group will leave Saturday morning and return Sunday, accompanied by Capt. Charles Briscoe, Sgt. Maj. John McDonald and M. Sgt. Alfred H. Petty Jr. Captain Briscoe noted that the TAMU group will not jump dur ing the exercise, though with proper clearance some of the Air borne-qualified cadets may jump. “Our cadets will have good opportunity to practice small unit leadership,” Sergeant Major Mc Donald said. "If the exercise is successful, it may be done again.” BATTALION CLASSIFIED CHILD CARE GOING OUT ? ? ?

Henry Wade’s office had cleared his appointment. Reed filed a request with Bul lock Monday to hold up the cer tification until the attorney gen eral could render an opinion. He added he may run against Orr in the May primary charging Orr would be County Judge Lew Sterrett’s man on the commis sioner’s court. Reed said Wednesday his phone "had been ringing con stantly” with calls from persons offering to support him in a race against Orr. Most of them, he said, were from Oak Cliff and Grand Prairie, the two most pop ulous areas in commissioner’s district four. Orr would not comment on Reed’s accusation or possible pri mary challenge. "I have no comments on any-< body’s political announcement,” he said. Orr originally had indicated he would continue in the state party position until the Septem ber state convention but had changed his mind by Wednes day. “I’m sure I will resign after I get a few things worked out,” he said. “I just don’t want to walk out on something. He will prob ably have our new party conven tion’s rules worked out and adopted by mid-February and I think by then things will be in pretty good shape.” Reed said there is a section of the election code which pro hibits party officials from hold ing any other position of public trust for which they are paid money.
