The report, which was prepared by the Energy Resources Council, also states that radioactive waste volume is small when compared with other waste products, and that even extra disposed costs would not have much affect on the cost of electricity. Commerce Secretary Elliot L. Richardson, the council’s chairman. ing of radioactive wastes is lower than in other areas of energy produc tion. Richardson, testifying before the Joint Atomic Energy subcommittee on environment and safety, said that mistakes in dealing with nuclear waste over the past 30 years have not produced health or safety problems. His optimistic outlook was coun tered by that of Tom Cochran of the Natural Resources Defense Council, who said no advancements have since the Pugwash conference, a meeting of a group of international scientists who reported in 1973 that the disposal problem of radioactive wastes remained unsolved. The Federal Energy Administra tion, in its 1976 National Energy Outlook report, said that by 1985 nuclear power must expand from its current 9 per cent of electric genera tion to 25 per cent to meet energy demands.

Dandylion Manor East Mall More wealthy Americans may pay extra taxes next year Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Senate Finance Committee is considering a measure which could force nearly 100,000 more well-to-do Americans to pay a minimum federal tax. The minimum tax, enacted in 1969, is currently paid by about 55,000 of the nation’s wealthiest per sons. It imposes a 10 per cent levy, on top of regular income taxes, on certain large deductions known as preferences. But the first $30,000 of preferences are exempt. Finance Committee Chairman Russell B. Long, D-La., said that by eliminating the $30,000 exemption and raising the minimum tax rate to 14 per cent, 154,000 persons would be forced to pay the tax. Long’s plan would bring an esti mated extra $700 million to $800 mil lion into the Treasury each year. Long’s committee is expected to vote on his proposal Tuesday. Dur ing a committee meeting Friday, it appeared the bill had the votes to pass. WANT AD RATES One day 10c per word.

Sen. Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., chairman of the Senate Government Operations subcommittee on federal spending practices, said at Monday’s hearing that lack of discipline, fraternization between officers and enlisted personnel and lack of train ing for military inspectors resulted in a “rotten” military meat procure ment system. Edward Kehl, former supervisor for the now-defunct G&G Packing Co. of Boston, testified Monday that the firm regularly filled Army orders for choice beef with lower priced up graded meat and substituted tough cuts for tender. Kehl agreed with a calculation by Chiles that the substitution of knuckle for sirloin tip butts by G&G could have resulted in illegal profits of up to $192,000 a day. He said young, inexperienced Army meat inspectors never de tected the substitution because of the way the meat was cut. Kehl said knuckle was substituted for sirloin, worth $2.40 a pound more, in 50 per cent of the Army steak orders from G&G. He said the firm also sent knuckle to Blue Rib bon Frozen Foods of Hamden, Conn., to fill that firm’s Army con tracts. Both New England meat process ing firms, now closed, were owned by Harry and Frank Goldberg. Charles Reidinger, former Army supervising inspector in the Boston area, testified that Harry Goldberg started paying him $200 a month in the fall of 1974 and later raised it to $400. He said he was told the com pany “just wanted no major hasi no nit-picking.” And Reidinger said h ( Goldberg furnished him with pm tutes about 10 times over a 10-nv. period. Spec. 4 Nadja Hoyer-Boott ^ pearing in Army uniform, testci that she was assigned to beefii tion at C&G in the summero at age 18 after only a day or tw, schooling in beef inspection. She said she was taught tori meat by a fellow inspector and) she received such things as foot and airplane tickets, weekend^ clothing and perfume fromtheQi manager and his assistant. Manuel Pacheco, former mi supervisor in the Army’s Bostoi spection office, said Harry Gold, gave him $100 a week at later $200 a week “just for not In ing the employes.” The Senate hearing resin Wednesday with witnesses from Army’s Health Services Conn A&M scientist gets $24,000 and veterinarian inspections Dr. William M.
