Say lava lessens blast chance
Scientists examine dome
United Press International
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Sci
entists flying into the steaming
crater of' Mt. St. Helens say the
rapid lava dome growth from
the volcano’s First explosive
eruption in 17 months may les
sen the chance of another blast.
Scientists flew by helicopter
into the crater Sunday for their
first look at the new addition to
the 600-foot high dome of har
dened lava that exploded to life
in twin blasts of volcanic ash Fri
day night and early Saturday.
The 1,800-foot wide dome
now sits steaming, flanked by
two tongues of mud and a 50-
foot trench where the twin blasts
ripped apart the southern tip of
the dome. Pilots say the dome
glows when observed at night.
“There is a new lobe being
added to the southeast side of
the lava dome in the crater of
Mount St. Helens,” the U.S.
Geological Survey announced.
Scientists believe that if the
dome continues to grow, fed by
thick, pasty lava from deep
underground, the chance of
another explosive eruption will
lessen because gas will not build
up as much of a punch under
one dome.
“The dome growth looks
good,” A.B. Adams of the Uni
versity of Washington Geophy
sics Department said. “We can’t
rule out further eruptions, but it
looks less likely. We’re a little
happier today. (But) things
aren’t completely safe.”
Around midnight Saturday
night scientists recorded a pair
of earthquakes measuring 2.0
on the Richter scale, the largest
tremors since the twin volcanic
eruption. A plume of steam rose
to 10,000 feet at about 4:15 a.m.
Sunday.
By Sunday afternoon, the
mountain had returned to a
level of seismic activity normally
associated with domebuilding.
Seismologists monitoring the
mountain in Seattle said the low-
level readings they’re receiving
are coming from rocks and slabs
of earth falling from the new
lobe.
Although scientists flew into
the crater within hours of the
second eruption Saturday, de
nse steam and poor weather
made it impossible to determine
if a new dome had indeed
formed.
Sunday, the weather cleared
and test crews were able to see
the fresh lobe on the dome.
Senators consider
budget alternatives
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Senate
Republican leaders say they are
ready to listen to options on the
budget, and are considering a
proposal to limit Social Security
cost-of-living increases to one-
third the inflation rate after the
White House publicly de
nounced a plan to “freeze” the
increases.
The senators first sent the
White House an outline of a pos
sible alternative to President
Reagan’s $757 billion 1983
budget that would “freeze” the
inflation adjustment for Social
Security — and other benefit
programs — for two years.
The GOP leaders wanted to
judge the administration’s reac
tion to the trial balloon, which
would substantially reduce
Reagan’s controversial pro
jected $96.4 billion federal de
ficit.
But instead of a private re
sponse, a White House spokes
man publicly shot down the
idea, embarrassing and anger
ing some Senate Republicans.
The cost-of-living aspect of
the entitlement programs is one
major focus of ideas for cutting
the deficit — a key ingredient to
getting the budget process off
dead center.
Assistant Sen. Rep. leader
Ted Stevens of Alaska said Sun
day the GOP is prepared to con
sider a whole range of tax op
tions to shrink the deficit, in
cluding measures that would
boost gasoline prices.
“An oil import tax is being
considered,” he told Cable News
network. “An increase in the
federal gasoline tax is being con-

After two years of extensive
study, scientists admit St. Helens
still holds some surprises for
them. Until a few hours before
the blast on March 19, they were
predicting an eruption of the
mild, domebuilding type.
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Former
President Richard Nixon re
fuses to give up his court fight to
keep the public from listening to
6,000 hours of his secret Oval
Office tape recordings.
Undaunted by two rejections
in federal courts, Nixon has
asked the full U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in Washington to re
consider a February ruling by a
three-judge appellate panel.
If the 11 judges on the full
appeals court refuse to hear the
case again, Nixon could appeal
directly to the Supreme Court.
A three-judge appellate
panel unanimously concluded
that letting the public listen to
the tapes does not violate Nix
on’s privacy rights as an indi
vidual or a former president.
Almost eight years after he
resigned from office in the
Watergate scandal, Nixon is
contesting a plan by the General
Services Administration to re
lease the tapes at 11 regional lis
tening centers across the
country.
Nixon said the ruling by the
appeals panel sets a dangerous
precedent.
“If the panel is correct that
the mere ‘assumption of a public
role’ is sufficient to undercut the
reasonableness of a person’s ex
pectation of privacy,” he said,
“then neither President Reagan
nor any member of Congress
can preclude — based on privacy
grounds — the press or any
member of the public from
prying behind their closed office
doors.”
The dispute stems from a law
passed by Congress four months
after Nixon resigned in August
1974. The law ordered the sei
zure of 800 Nixon tape record
ings and 42 million White House
papers.

sidered. A marine fuel tax is

Stevens also predicted the
GOP will reduce the president’s
defense budget by $5 billion to
$6 billion.
Last week, Senate Republi
cans said they were considering
another option to limit cost-of-
living adjustments for Social
Security and other benefit prog
rams, now indexed at 100 per
cent of the inflation rate, to one-
third of the inflation rate.
The Congressional Budget
Office said each 1 percentage
S oint reduction in the 1982 in-
ation adjustments — called
COLAs — for Social Security,
Supplemental Security Income,
veterans’ pensions, railroad re
tirement and federal employee
retirement and disability prog
rams would cut spending by ab
out $1.8 billion.
