Jobless noted on Labor Day
United Press International
WASHINGTON — With
nearly 11 million Americans out
of work. Labor Secretary
Raymond Donovan pledged in a
Labor Day message Saturday to
“see that those numbers come
down.” Union leaders saw little
cause for festivities.
“There is, God knows, little to
celebrate on Labor Day 1982,”
said AFL-CIO President Lane
Kirkland in a statement marking
the working man’s holiday.
“There is not a working fami
ly in the land that has not been
injured to some degree by the
destructive policies of the
Reagan administration and the
recession that is part and parcel
of those policies,” he said.
The comments came as new
government data showed the
unemployment rate remained at
9.8 percent in August, the high
est since 1941, and with 10.8 mil
lion American workers going
without paychecks.
“I intend to see that those
numbers come down, and more
importantly, President Reagan
intends to see that they come
down,” Donovan said.
“This is a day on which we
must rededicate ourselves to
solving the problem of unem
ployment in America,” the sec
retary said.
“Even though there are more
Americans working than at any
other time in our history, there
are still too many Americans
who want jobs and can’t Find
them.”

Nuclear leak
baffles officials
INQUIRY CLASS
United Press International
LOWER ALLOWAYS
CREEK, N.J. — A leak at the
Salem nuclear power plant sent
radioactive gas into the air but
federal authorities and plant
officials disagreed Saturday
over whether the discharge was
caused by an accident or was
“deliberate tampering.”
A Nuclear Regulatory Com
mission spokesman said the
small amount of gas released
was diluted by the air and posed
no health threat.
The FBI was also notified of
the incident and was to inspect
the site, officials said.
A spokesman for Public Ser
vice Electric & Gas Co., which
operates the plant, said the
minor radioactive leak Friday,
caused by an open valve in a
compressor room at the plant’s
auxiliary building, was the result
of “someone consciously tam
pering with the instruments.”
The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission’s resident inspector
at the plant reported the leak,
which was confined to the plant
site, might “possibly just be an
accident.”
NRC spokesman Karl Abra
ham quoted inspector, Leif
Norholm, as saying the valve
may have been inadvertently left
open by workers who were
doing maintenance.
PSE&G spokesman Gene
Murphy said it was the third
time in a month and the fourth
time in four months that some
one deliberately tampered with
equipment at the nuclear power
plant, located 30 miles south of
Camden.
He said the latest incident was
the first time radioactive gas was
released.
“This was not an accident,”
Murphy said. “Someone had to
consciously tamper with the in
struments.”
