However, authors of the council’s study also said the excess deaths may have resulted from chance since no similar results are being found at other test sites. “Smoky” at the Nevada Test Site in 1957. They also said the “Smoky” results must be considered along with find ings of no excess leukemia among witnesses at four other test series in Nevada and the Pacific. The subject has led to disputes be tween veterans and the government over possible federal responsibility for cancers now developing among participants in above-ground tests in the 1950s. The project, studying death cer- - - tificates of about 5,000 deceased vet erans who were among 46,000 wit nesses at five separate nuclear test series, confirmea the findings of a 1980 Centers for Disease Control study that said there was an excess incidence of leukemia among Veter ans who had participated at test shot Gloria Christopher, executive di rector of the National Association of Atomic Veterans, dismissed the new study chiefly because it compares health problems of the atomic veter ans witn those of men in the general population rather than with 1950s veterans who weren’t exposed to ra diation. The study, itself, pointed out this weakness but said that finding a sci entifically comparable control group would have delayed the study by at' least three years. Christopher said the real prob lems was an unwillingness to accept responsibility for medically treating unknown numbers of atomic veter ans or to admit having knowingly subjected them to radiation risk. The Centers for Disease Control study had indicated that nine of more than 3,000 witnesses to the “Smoky” test had died of leukemia compared with the 3.5 deaths ex pected in the general population without unusual radiation exposure. Although the new study came up with similar figures, it said the radia tion the witnesses were supposed to have received should not have caused the increased deaths.

Israelis seize 40 men in raid in Lebanon Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon — Israeli soli- ders raided a Shiite Moslem village in south Lebanon on Monday and seized 40 men in what was seen as a warning to Shiite militiamen operat ing in the south. A new round of fighting started in Beirut, where Shiite forces launched new attacks on Palestinians in the capital’s refugee camp. Police said eight people were killed and 31 wounded in clashes around the camps, raising the number of casual ties since May 19 to at least 510 killed and 2,094 wounded. Israeli troops swept through Maj- dal Salim, a village six miles west of the Israeli border. The village is in the zone policed by United Nations peacekeepers, and U.N. spokesman Timur Goksel reported that the Is raelis took 40 men from the village. Israeli forces are due to complete their withdrawal from Lebanon in the next few days and the raid was considered a clear warning that Is rael would not tolerate Shiite attacks on the South Lebanon Army. Spartan 1, which could aid that fort, will be released from Discovc after its June 17 launch. Discovtt robot arm will drop Spartan lovt board during the fourth day ofth mission. It will drift about lOOmit away, and on Day 6 shuttle coi mander Ray Brandenstein will w down the satellite, so it can be [I turned to Earth and used againoil later flight. The South Lebanon Army or SLA is supported by Israel but is opposed in the zone along the border. Israel plans to hand over security in the border zone to the SLA. Goksel said SLA troops accompa nied the Israelis on the raid.
