Town not alerted to nuke s hot ‘burp’
United Press International
RICHMOND, Va. — A mechanical failure, apparently com-
lounded by human error, caused Virginia Electric & Power Co.’s
forth Anna nuclear plant to “burp” radioactive xenon gas into the
itmosphere Wednesday, but local authorities say the company never
ilerted them to the accident.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Vepco officials said the re
ease from the No. 1 reactor — the nation’s first known incident since
he March accident at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island plant —
ised no public health danger.
The Louisa, Va., reactor, the sole nuclear power generator in
/irginia, immediately shut down. Cold shutdown was set for Tues-
The only residents within a mile radius were plant employees,
ipco said.
The exact amount of xenon gas released was unknown, but NRC
ifficials said it was a “very, very small amount.”
Tt wasn’t a leak, it was more like a burp,’’ said Vepco Senior Vice
'resident W.L. Proffitt. Xenon is a noble gas, which means it doesn’t
ireak down and mix with other gases, and is relatively harmless
for its radioactivity.
Longet settles out of court in slaying suit
ASPEN, Colo. — A $1.3 million lawsuit filed against actress-singer
laudine Longet by the parents of slain professional skier Vladimir
Spider” Sabich has been settled out of court, officials announced
Wednesday.
Attorneys confirmed the settlement was reached, but refused to
liscuss terms. The suit, filed in May 1977, asked for $1 million in
mitive damages, which since have been excluded in wrongful death
ctions under Colorado law.
Longet served 30 days in jail for the shooting of Sabich, which
urred in March 1976 in the $250,000 mountain home the couple
shared for two years.

Officers accused
of beating aliens
United Press International
SAN DIEGO — Four U.S. Bor
der Patrolmen have been charged
with slapping, clubbing, punching
and otherwise mistreating Mexicans
who crossed into the United States
illegally, the first such criminal
charges ever brought against border
officers.
Accused were Jeffery Otherson,
31, and Bruce Brown, 33, both with
three years’ experience, and two-
year officers Dirk Dick, 25, and
Daniel Charest, 29.
A federal grand jury Tuesday re
turned a six-count indictment accus
ing the four of a total of 38 overt
acts, including conspiracy to “as
sault, beat, strike, kick and mis
treat” aliens with nightsticks, fists
and their open hands on three sepa
rate occasions in July and August.
One of the officers allegedly told a
trainee, as he punched a Mexican in
the stomach, that "sometimes we
find it necessary to do something
like this because the criminal justice
system doesn’t do anything” about
illegal aliens.
The extent of injury to the aliens
could not be determined because
the agents dumped them on the
Mexican side of the border, officials
said.
In attempts to cover up the
crimes, one agent allegedly
threatened the life of a former bor
der patrol trainee who cooperated in
the investigation. Another accused
agent was charged with perjury in
his testimony before the grand jury.
The agents pleaded innocent at
their arraignment late Tuesday be
fore a U.S. magistrate and were re
leased on bonds of $10,000 each
pending a hearing Oct. 1. They face
prison terms of 7 to 11 years if con
victed.

“Oh my God, that’s it,” Howell
shouted upon seeing the $3,500
brooch.
