(AP) — Army generals opened their secret nuclear test range here for a group of Soviet and foreign journalists, showing a si lent, rusted site that they said proved the Kremlin had banned nuclear tests. Two Soviet generals on hand for the tour Saturday made it clear the visit was arranged to reinforce Mos cow’s appeals to the United States to join the moratorium on nuclear tests begun by the Kremlin in August 1985. “The aim of our journey is to show you that our test site is silent,” said Gen. Yuri V. Lebedev, who flew with the group to the Central Asian site. “We would like it to remain that way forever.” The journalists and official escorts left Moscow Friday in a special Aer oflot Tu-134 jet to the city of Semi- palatinsk in the northeast corner of Kazakhstan, about 370 miles from the border with China. A smaller plane ferried the group from Semipalatinsk to the garrison for the test area, an unnamed and uncharted town along the Irtysh River. From there the visitors traveled by Mi6 helicopter over salt lakes and herds of wildlife to the foothills of the Gegelen range. Rusted piles of abandoned ma chinery and huge natural granite formations crumbled by the force of earlier nuclear blasts give the steppes the look of an open-pit mine, and rusted rail tracks run to corroded iron doors closing off unused tunnels bored for tests. The moratorium was declared on the 40th anniversary of the Aug. 6, 1945 nuclear attack on Hiroshima, Japan, by the United States toward the end of World War II. Before the moratorium, all Soviet tests on the site were carried out in shafts bored horizontally into the granite, said Gen. Arkady D. Ilyenko, commander of the test zone A new tunnel was built for each test, with the length depending on the strength of the blast, Ilyenko said. Senate close to action on drug bill WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is nearing passage of a $1.4 billion measure to combat drug abuse after backing off the stiffest features of a counterpart bill passed by the House — or dering the military to seal U.S. borders against smugglers and es tablishing the death penalty in major drug cases. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said Sunday that the House’s demand that the military intercept all drug shipments from abroad was absurd. Interviewed on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Weinberger said the mil itary is already doing a great deal to fight drugs, including sharing intelligence data with law en forcement agencies and provid ing logistical help to other nations for drug raids, as was the case re cently in Bolivia. He noted that 76,000 airplanes cross the U.S. borders every day and, to meet the mandate of the House bill, he said the United States would have to start shoot ing down planes. The Senate plowed through a series of amendments to its bill by early Sunday before ending a marathon day that also saw the Republican-controlled chamber pass a landmark tax-overhaul bill. Senate passage would send the bill to a House-Senate conference committee to reconcile the differ ences between the two versions. That panel will try to work a uickly so it can be sent to Presi- ent Reagan before adjourn ment. Many senators declared their constituents are deeply worried about the drug issue and are de manding strong action. impact of tax overhaul still debated WASHINGTON (AP) — There were gloomy predictions Sunday that the new tax code awaiting President Reagan’s sig nature will be an economic disas ter, but supporters of the package dismissed such talk as sour grapes from special interests. “As the special interests have been unable to retain their special preferences and deductions and so forth, they’ve moved to this ar gument that this is going to mean the end of Western civilization as we know it,” Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III said on ABC’s “This Week with David Brink- ley.” “Let me tell you something, it is not.” A day after the Senate gave fi nal congressional approval to the broadest overhaul of the federal tax code in a generation, poli ticians and economists still ar gued over the impact of the changes on the nation’s economy. Concerns for the economy have been raised because the bill would repeal the investment tax credit and shift $120 billion in taxes from individuals to cor porations over the next five years. “I believe that this is a down tax bill,” said Murray Weidenbaum, a former chairman of Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers. “We’re going to see fewer new jobs created, a weaker economy, less revenues into the Treasury, more unemployment compensa tion and bigger budget deficits. It may be good politics, but I think it’s bad economics.” Space station (Continued from page 1) uids and vapors separate naturally, into predictable configurations, due to buoyancy — like the foam rises on your beer. “What we want to know is what happens in zero-gravity. Where does the liquid go? Top? Bottom? Where? We need to know this because if you are going to design power conver sion and transfer equipment you must know where the liquid and va por are in the system.” Best’s experiment package con sists of three smaller packages: the free-float package (the actual experi ment site); the bolt-down package (which houses the materials and equipment for the experiment); and the computer console unit (where the test data is recorded). pressure data and a high-speed cam era photographs the experiment. Best said that zero-gravity will be simulated in the same manner in which it is produced for astronaut training. “The experiment package will be loaded onto one of NASA’s KG-135 aircraft (the plane used to train as tronauts in weightlessness),” Best said. “The plane then flies a series of parabolas (climbs and dives) at a cal culated speed and trajectory. This climbing and diving produces re duced gravity (zero-gravity) for short periods of time.” Kachnik, who will accompany lile " The free-floating package is made up of a boiler where water is heated and steam is produced. The steam then is piped into a clear glass tube called the “test section” where the steam is condensed into water. The “test section” is connected to a device called a “gamma densitometer.” J\ This device measures the void fraction, the fraction of vapor and liquid relative to their positions in the tube. Thermo-couplings are used to gather temperature and Best on the flight, said that while he is excited about the flight itself, the experiment has top priority. “I’m excited about the flight, but my main concern is the performance of the equipment,” Kachnik said. “That’s really why I’m going, to make sure all the equipment works properly.” Best said the project, which was funded by NASA for $98,000 and has taken nearly two years to com plete, was given to A&M primarily because of the University’s space re search center.
