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.

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.”
