THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1979 Pa0«0 Soviets stop microwave bombardment of embassy United Press International MOSCOW — The United States Embassy in Moscow said Tuesday authorities have halted their mi crowave bombardment of the em bassy building. An embassy spokesman issued the following statement: “Neither the east nor south signal has operated since the end of April, hence we have detected no radiation since that time from those sources. Occasionally we have picked up brief, very low-level emanations from unknown locations.” Since the early 1960s and possibly even further back the Soviets have beamed microwave radiation at the 12-story stucco embassy building in downtown Moscow for reasons that have never been made clear. The microwave bombardment hit a peak in 1975 and 1976, prompting strong official American protests and the installation of special aluminum screens to deflect radiation on the upper floors. The bombardment came from two sources, according to technical ex perts. One station was located on the roof of a huge Soviet building di rectly across the street from the em bassy; the second was located one block down the street in a building that also houses the U.S. Commer cial Office. The station across Tchaikovsky Boulevard from the embassy was ap parently knocked off the air late last January when a fire damaged upper floors and the roof of the Soviet building. Since then the radiation beamed from the south station down the block has gradually been reduced until, on April 27, it completely shut LAKEVIEW CLUB S up to 86%, 1.000 titles titles i text desj -75% on natkxs ■. nail enamels, i shaves, gw, :olor catalog: S' $3.00.

Members of the Fuerza Nueva (New Force) party, which has its headquarters across the street from the California, have turned the sidewalk outside the cafe into a shrine for the eight people who died there in a bomb blast Saturday. Right-wingers deposit flowers there, recite the rosary, sing the Francoist hymn, “Caro al Sol,” and give the straightarmed fascist salute. The civil government said in a statement riot police were ordered to move in when demonstrators “acted with extraordinary aggres siveness,” broke plate-glass windows and slashed automobile tires. The clash was unusual because right-wing extremists make support of police and the military a main tenet of their political program. A★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ HATE DOING LAUNDRY?
