Foot doctors warn
of disco dance danger
United Press International
DETROIT — Disco dancing has
spawned a new foot problem. The
American Podiatry Association says
the major causes of disco foot are
slippery dance floors, bizarre foot
wear such as stilleto heels and plat
form soles, and lack of preparation.
It suggests disco dancers instead
wear shoes that provide good sup
port and balance, use common
sense on slick floors and do warmup
exercises before dancing for long
periods.

HOUSTON — The contractor
building the South Texas Nuclear
Project near Bay City has produced
records showing inspectors filed 21
deficiency reports during a period a
fired inspector has charged there
were no inspections.
“This proves the statements made
last week by Dan Swayze on na
tional television and to The Houston
Post were false,” said Steve Grote, a
vice president in the Brown & Root
Inc. power division.
Swayze stood by his allegations
that there were no real inspections
for five months in 1977. Brown &
Root has charged he was fired for
seeking bribes, a charge Swayze has
dismissed as trumped up.
The inspectors, required to meet
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
standards, are hired and paid by the
contractor on the $2.7 billion
project.
Swayze, former lead inspector on
the concrete crew, said on June 30,
1977, a foreman beat an inspector
and the inspection team voted to
stay in their offices, play cards and
certify all work without inspection.
Grote said Brown & Root dug into
records because it regards Swayze’s
charge as serious.
“Our records show a total of 55
DDRs (deficiency and disposition
reports) were filed by inspectors on
safety-related concrete work during
1977, and 21 of these were filed in
the five-month period after the June
30 fight,” Grote said.
The foreman was fired after fight
ing with the inspector.
DDRs are filed when inspectors
find things like construction flaws or
errors, use of improper materials or
improper handling of materials.
Brown & Root’s records showed
Swayze filed no deficiency reports
during the five-month period in
question, but six DDRs filed during
the five months were filed by in
spector Charles Singleton, whom
Swayze identified as a cardplayer.
?. p
Singleton, still on the
contradicted Swayze’s charges
Swayze said on occasion, t
pany employees asked for DD|
the first step toward
major problem that could a
solved immediately.
“In some instances wherefi|
had very evident problems, tie
struction people or qualityu I
ance people came to us
to write DDRs because |
couldn’t do anything about fir. I
until a DDR was written."
