TWAT GWSEU5RS WITH NAMES UKE "REP PAWS"ANP"MAPS<W:' LS. plans against terrorists’ acquisition of atomic bomb Associated Press WASHINGTON — The State De- ■artment, searching for a formula to wee the 40 American hostages in Beirut, is quietly grappling with a long-range threat even more horri- ping: the possibility that terrorists |nay someday get their hands on an atomic bomb. I David Mabry, deputy director of ne State Department’s anti-terror ism office, said Monday that the de partment is very much involved in planning to prevent violent groups worn using atomic bombs cor installa tions as weapons or targets. R Mabry would not give details ol the department’s classified program, which he mentioned to reporters af ter he and other experts attended a closed-door symposium on nuclear terrorism. The conference, sponsored by the Nuclear Control Institute and the State University of New York’s ter rorism studies program, brought to gether a group of scientists, arms control specialists and terrorism ex perts convinced that killers could steal fissionable materials, make an atomic bomb and use it to blackmail Rep. Richard A. Gephardt,' D- Mo., Said, “Anybody who thinks ter rorists can’t acquire the technical knowledge to build an atom bomb hasn’t picked up your average ency clopedia or talked to a college phys ics major.” Later he said, “The president wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on ‘Star Wars’ to defend against Soviet missiles, but that won’t give us a dime’s worth of security against a terrorist’s nuclear bomb.” Retired Adm. Thomas Davies, former chief of development for the Navy, said terrorists might be able to steal a nuclear bomb. There are nearly 50,000 nuclear weapons in the world spread throughout hun dreds of storage sights protected “in theory” by high quality systems and personnel, Davies said. He noted recent reports that it might be possible to build a back pack nuclear weapon with the power of 250 tons of TNT deliverable by a two-man commando team. Crash (continued from page 1) I bomb threat. Police searched the ||lane for more than six hours, but Pound no explosives. I The International Air Transport wsociation, based in Montreal, said I airline security experts would meet I there Friday to review airline secu- Kfity. I Sean Brady, spokesman for the Kanadian Foreign Office in Ottawa, Paid investigators were looking for Possible links between the Air-India impson (continued from page 1) because the ‘Old Army’ never exis- : ted.” The “Old Army” exists only in the minds of former students, Simpson laid. I “The former students of this insti- tution have the most convenient memory of any group of people I’ve ||verseen,” he said. “By convenient I mean they have a screen that lets them remember only the good •things that happened during their lime here and they conveniently for- I get that there were a lot of terrible things that happened to them here.” \ Simpson said it will take time for :the changes to be accepted, but Change is nothing new to the Corps. I “It takes time to change,” he said. BFor example, it has taken 10 years crash and an explosion about an hour earlier Sunday in a baggage container that had been taken off a Canadian Pacific airliner in Tokyo. Organizations of India’s SikH mi nority have denied involvement in the Air-India crash. The Toronto Globe and Mail said Indian officials suspected the Air- India crash and the Canadian Pacific bomb were the work of two Sikh fu gitives wanted by the FBI in connec tion with an alleged plot to kill Rajiv Gandhi, India’s prime minister, when he visited the United States earlier this month. It quoted unidentified Indian government officials as saying one of the fugitives, Lai Singh, had a ticket for the Tokyo-bound Canadian Pa cific flight and his baggage appar ently was loaded, but he did not board. Experts have said the apparent suddenness of the crash and the ab sence of a distress signal point to an explosion aboard. but the young ladies in the Corps are finally being accepted. They are be ing accepted on their own merit, not because some court says so.” The 1979 lawsuit against the Uni versity by Melanie Zentgraf actually hurt the women in the Corps, Simp son said. “If it had not been for the Zent graf case, women would be where they are right now, five years ago,” he said. Simpson said women were start ing to be accepted by the male mem bers of the Corps when Zentgraf filed the suit. “After Zentgraf filed the suit and her mother wrote a letter to Jack An derson which he printed in his col umn, the people who were just about to accept women in the Corps had their opinions frozen,” he said. “The opposition to women was crystal lized, and if a guy said it was all right to have women in the Corps, people looked at him and said he was crazy. The Zentgraf case set the cause of women in the Corps back five years.” But the death of cadet Bruce Goodrich last August accelerated the anti-hazing changes made by the University and the Corps, Simpson said. “If it can be said that anything good can come out of anyone’s tragic death, then the good thing to come out of that tragedy is that it made people more aware of the problems of hazing,” he said. “Out of that came the realization that this type of thing can’t be tolerated and it won’t be. The Corps was heading that way anyway, and that tragedy sped up the process.” MSC Cafeteria Now Better Than Ever. You Will Be Pleased With These Carefully Prepared and Taste Tempting Foods.
