WASHINGTON — Soldiers and
sailors exposed to radiation at two
U.S. atomic test sites in the 1950s are
showing higher-than-normal death
rates from certain cancers, the Na
tional Research Council reported
Monday.
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.
Ray Cruddace, project sdeol
for the Spartan 1 satellite, says,l|
center of the Milky Way is tip
packed with stars and seems i
ciated with some violent action;!
may l>e a very large black hole.
- “We want to darify the struct
and behavior of this area. Oursi

lution.
Astronomers have suspectedii
several years that a black nole

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.
Recent findings indicate bii!
holes are in the centers of two oik
galaxies, and if the Milky Wave#
also turns out to be one, it wool
