Dr. Howard R. Brown, also an assistant professor at New York University’s medical school, told a meeting of the American Newspapers Pub lishers Association that people who use VDTs, now widespread in newsrooms, are not being ex posed to dangerous radiation. “While the (VDT) is capable of producing small amounts of X-rays from the electron gun, no scientists have been able to measure these X-rays outside the unit,” he said Tuesday at the annual production manage ment conference. “Whatever is generated is completely absorbed by the unit and does not pose a danger.” Brown cited efforts by state legislatures in Maine, Illinois and Massachusetts to assess civil penalties up to $ 1,000 for violat ing proposed VDT regulations. Brown suggested health com plaints stem from “psychosocial” disorders among users. He said the Occupational Safety and Health Administra tion, after evaluating the ter minals, declined to issue safety or health standards for VDT Wale Dancerf 5 Night!

Civil rights marchers ask jobs, voting rights United Press International WASHINGTON — Civil rights marchers, some chanting “Reagan, Reagan, he’s no good; send him back to Hollywood,” crossed the Potomac River into Washington Wednesday to de monstrate for jobs, equality and peace. About 200 demonstrators were led by a large red Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence Banner, an American flag and two red, green and black African Liberation Hags. They sang and chanted their way across the 14th Street Bridge to the Washington Monument and the Bureau of Printing and En graving on their way to a symbo lic “Resurrection City” in Lafayette Square across the street from the White House. More than 100 local suppor ters joined the Rev. Joseph Low ery, president of the SCLC, and the 100 marchers who began their journey in Alabama two months ago in support of the Voting Rights Act, jobs and peace. One of the marchers, Annie Rose, 87, Alexandria, Va., de scribing herself as a “child of a slave,” warned the younger mar chers of the threat to their freedom. “The ballot and the vote is the only thing that is keeping us free,” she told a brief rally at Lafayette Square before the marchers moved on to the Capitol. Extension of the historic Vot ing Rights Act was passed by the Senate and the House and Con gress is expected to approve the final version during this session. The act safeguards the minor ities’ right to vote. As the marchers crossed the bridge into the city, they chanted “Reagan, Reagan, he’s no good; send him back to Hol lywood,” and sang, “We gonna do what the spirit says to.” A second group, made up of squatters from a half dozen cities around the nation also converged on the capital. They were urging action by President Reagan and his Department of Housing and Urban Develop ment to provide better housing for the poor. “Ronald Reagan may be too comfortable living in the White House to realize there’s a hous ing crisis throughout this coun try,” said Grover Wright, a Phi ladelphia organizer for the Association of Communnity Organizations for Reform Now — ACORN. “But the squatters tent city will put a dose of reality right in his backyard,” Wright added.
