Government blamed for nuclear accident WASHINGTON — The Three Mile Island accident shows that lax government regulation jeopardizes public safety to keep the atomic power industry running smoothly, a nuclear safety engineer told Congress today. Robert Pollard of the Union of Concerned Scientists warned a House subcommittee on energy and environment that “the health and safety of the public will remain in serious danger without con gressional intervention.’’ Pollard charged that every design deficiency, equipment failure and human error blamed for the nation’s worst nuclear accident at Three Mile Island was previously considered by the Nuclear Regu latory Commission in its licensing review process for Pennsylvania plant. “Some of the elements which led to or aggravated the accident have been classified as unresolved safety problems for years,” said Pollard. ‘The problem is that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission never seems to get around to solving ‘generic’ safety problems.” Pollard said his group believes the principal lesson of the accident is “that the current system of regulating nuclear power is unaccept able.” Teamster bosses arrested in Pa. SALT 1 violated, Soviets say; 3-year delay in complying claimed United Press International PHILADELPHIA — The FBI Tuesday arrested Delaware Teams ter President Francis Joseph Sheeran and former Philadelphia Teamster President Louis Bottone on racketeering charges in connec tion with the murders and attempts on the lives of other union officials. Edgar Best, special agent in charge of the Philadelphia office, said both men were arrested at 7:30 a.m., Sheeran at his home in Neshaminy Valley, Pa., and Bottone at his Rosslyn, Pa., home. Among other things the grand jury, in its indictment Monday, charged that in December 1975, Sheeran and Bottone hired Charles Allen to kill Francis Marino and Wiliam Brown for $10,000 each. The attempt against Marino was successful, but Brown escaped. Allen, who has reportedly been cooperating with authorities in their investigation of organized crime and the disappearance of former Teams ter leader Jimmy Hoffa, will plead guilty to a racketeering charge under a plea bargain and receive no more than seven years in jail, ac cording to Best. Sheeran, 58, president of Teamsters Local 326 in Wilmington, Del., was charged in connection with the murder of Fred J. Garonski in New Castle County, Del., on Oct. 25 1973; the murder of Marino in Philadelphia Feb. 3, 1976; the at tempted murder of George Fox, local business agent of a newspaper and mail delivers’ union in Plain- view N.Y. on Dec. 1973 and Jan. 1974; an attempt to murder Brown, then secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 500, in Philadel phia; the attempted murder of Leon Smallwood and Robert Milligan in New Castle County,, Del. on Oct. 25, 1973; and one count each of arson and embezzlement. Bottone, 46, president of Teams ter Local 107 in Philadelphia from 1972 to 1977, but now employed by Consolidated Freight Co., was charged with racketeering in con nection with Marino’s murder, and the attempted murder of Brown. United Press International WASHINGTON — Three U S. presidents had trouble getting the Air Force to remove from missile silos the “environmental covers” Soviet leaders repeatedly protested violated the SALT I treaty, sources said Tuesday. But Air Force, administration and congressional officials acknowledge it was not until May 22 this year that the covers, which obstructed the view of their reconnaissance satel lites, came off completely. The officials commented as the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee convened shortly after 10 a.m. in closed session to hear testimony by Sidney Graybeal, former U.S. commissioner on the U.S.-Soviet Standing Consultative Commission, his successor Robert Buchheim and several other CIA officials on Soviet adherence to the SALT I pact. Senate critics have charged the Russians are guilty of various violations — primarily testing radar in a manner suggesting they might be secretly upgrading their antibal- listic missile defenses, and failing to dismantle a number of missiles by the required deadline. The first questionable activity stopped, officials said, when the United States called it to the Soviets’ attention in the Standing Consultative Commission in Geneva, the mechanism for han dling disputed actions; and the sec ond case was closed when the Rus sians finished the dismantling pro cess. In answer to questions submitted by UPI, the Air Force said it had not been reluctant to remove the covers which the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations acknowleged to the Soviets were contrary to a non interference provision of SALT I. The shelters were needed, the Air Force said, to give protection for welders and for “curing” concrete. The Soviets charged the United States appeared to be masking re placement of the single-warhead Minuteman II missiles with Min- uteman III missiles containing three warheads, the sources said. The Air Force brushed that charge aside: “The only occasion where silo modification work coincided with missile replacement was at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., dur ing the period 1973-1975,” it said. “In this instance, Minuteman III replaced Minuteman I; however, the shelters were used for environmental protection only — not to mask the missile replace ment.” Billy Carter seeking papers to apply as agent for Libya United Press International WASHINGTON — Billy Carter has asked the Justice Department for the forms required to register as a foreign agent, sources say. The sources said the president’s brother, now on his second visit to Libya, made the written request in August before leaving for Tripoli. The strictest interpretation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act would require Billy Carter to de clare himself within 10 days of his return if he decides to become a representative of Col. Moammar Khadafy’s government. The law requires registration with the State Department for persons wanting to handle business or public relations for a foreign government. The maxinfum penalty for failing to register is five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. drive Pressler announces as 8th in GOP race United Press International . WASHINGTON — Sen. Larry Pressler, 37-year-old South Dakota senator, Tuesday announced he will seek the Republican presidential nomination. He said the country ,needs a president in the prime — not the twilight — of his career. Pressler, a first-term senator, is the eighth GOP candidate to an nounce for the nomination. Senate .Republican Leader Howard Baker , and Ronald Reagan are expected to , join the field before the end of the year. „ “Teddy Roosevelt, one of the most vigorous presidents, was ap proximately my age when he came into office, ” said Pressler, the only senator who served in the military in Vietnam. “Perhaps the difficulty and bur dens of the presidency are so great that we should consider electing a person in the prime of life rather than electing someone in the twilight of his or her career,” Pressler said in a prepared state ment. Pressler challenged his opponents to debates and said he would run an issue-oriented campaign. “Too often. Republican primaries focus on philosophies rather than applying those philosophies to spe cific solutions,” Pressler said. “Perhaps that’s one reason only 14 percent of those from the World War II baby boom have joined the Republican Party.” Texas Office of Traffic Safety R.

Members of the caucus met with Carter at the White House and complained that the suburbs were being neglected. Rep. John Wydler, a Republican from Garden City, N.Y., co- chairman of the 53-member group, later told reporters that he had told the president “the suburbs are not getting fair treatment under the revenue sharing program.” “The president is very sensitive,” said Rep. Lester Wolff, D-N.Y., who represents New York City’s boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. “I think we got a breakthrough today,” Wydler said. “The president indicated he did not feel the sub urbs were getting enough attention. He said we are going to have a na tional suburban policy similar to the national rural policy.” EPISCOPAL CHURCH CLASS for those interested and or seeking Confirmation SUNDAY, SEPT. 30, 8:00 PM in the Church 906 Jersey St., 696-1726 (south edge of Campus) L3 Rockport Glove-soft leather upper, natural crepe sole, padded insole.
