The engineering report, according to the newspaper, located two sites within the range for the testing of four atomic bombs. It recommended a southern site near Indian Springs (location of the present test sitef, rather than a northern location, near Tonopah. The engineers estimated a $16.1 million price tag to prepare the Nevada location for atomic testing. The report cautioned, "Within this time, it is not possible to investigate thoroughly all ramifications" of continental testing. The study made no mention of radiological safety factors.

The Holmes Narver engineering study was prepared after President Truman ordered the AEC to find an atomic test site in the U.S. in the face of an "emergency" in Korea. A 1949 top-secret study, codenamed "Nutmeg," postponed the question of a U.S.-based atomic testing facility "for possible later consideration in the event of an emergency." Nutmeg concluded "the arid-Southwest (was) a preferred location." More than 130 claims have been filed by attorneys for Utah, Nevada and Arizona residents charging the 84 atmospheric tests at the Nevada Test Site during the 1950s and 1960s was a contributing factor to a high incidence of cancer deaths in areas surrounding the facility. LAS VEGAS. Nev.

(LPH Recently declassified government documents reveal that only four atomic bombs tests were planned when President Truman signed a presidential order authorizing the Nevada Test Site in 1950. the Las Vegas Sun reported Friday. The newspaper, in a copyrighted article, said the Los Angeles firm of Holmes Nar-ver. Inc. was hired to prepare an engineering report on Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range for the Atomic Energy Commission.

The engineering study, dated August 14, 1950, was based upon an "emergency" situation and "a series of four consecutive tests of the atomic weapons." From the inital test in January, 1951, through June, 1978, the Dept. of Energy said 483 nuclear devices, including 84 atmospheric tests, were detonated at the 1.350-squaremile federal facility located 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The Sun said the four tests originally contemplated by Holmes Narver were to be detonated atop towers; however, the initial test series, codenamed consisted of five bombs dropped from aircraft. The engineers, in the report prepared 38-years-ago, said, "In order to speed tower erection, the 200-foot towers scheduled for Eniwetok (in the Pacific Proving Grounds) could be re-assigned to the continental location and one of the 300foot towers could be shipped back from Eniwetok."

Both the freighter Huey Fong, stranded just outside Hong Kong, and the Tung An, in Manila Bay, were involved in Vietnam's get-rich scheme, the Far Eastern Economic Review said.

The Vietnamese government, "using criminal elements in the region's shipping industry," allowed situation," and the system "would have a pool of tentatively qualified candidates." Shuck said, "We fully realize the importance of developing and maintaining the capability to provide the military services with large numbers of inductees within a short time frame." But he said the current system was based on manpower requirement needs prior to October 1977. "In October 1977 we were informed by the Department of Defense of new and more demanding requirements for manpower which necessitate a drastic change in our capability," Shuck said. He did not reveal what prompted the new Pentagon requirements. "The system is not capable of meeting these revised requirements from our existing posture and with our present resources and capability," he said. He said procedures had been revised, adding, "We are firmly convinced we can develop and demonstrate a capability to register and deliver inductees within 30 days." the new Congress.

"In recent years, the committee has consistently questioned the ability of the standby draft system to meet this nation's security requirements," Price said. He said "the existing deficiencies in the standby draft mechanism represent a serious problem that will be examined in detail early in the 96th Congress." Shuck said resumption of registration and classification of 18-year-olds would provide "a valid registrant data base and a posture that would permit us to meet or exceed any Department of Defense mobilization expansion requirements, both in quantity and in time." "With registration and classification at age 18, the system could process classification actions and resolve procedural rights of registrants before an emergency," Shuck said. He said conscientious objector and dependency claims could be adjudicated "prior to any emergency mobilization WASHINGTON (UPD The head of the Selective Service System, calling the present standby system inadequate to meet current national mobilization requirements, has urged Congress to resume registration and classification of 18-yearolds. "The Selective Service System cannot meet current manpower mobilization requirements at the fiscal year 1979 level of funding approved by the Congress," acting director Robert Shuck said in a report released Thursday by the House Armed Services Committee. "We must be extricated from our present deep standby status to overcome that deficiency," Shuck said.

"Permission to resume continuous registration and classification (of 18-yearolds would place the agency in the best operational capability mode." Chairman Melvin Price, a strong advocate of such action, called the current system "a serious problem" and said it would get an early review by 0 That suggests the Huey Fong and the Tung An were involved in similiar operations, said MacKellar, who did not reveal his source of information. "The fare for this trade in human misery is 10 taels of gold or about $2,670. But this sum covers only a fugitive's passage," the Review said. Up to $2,000 more may be spent for travel documents to Ho Chi Minh City and ethnic Vietnamese are subject to a "surcharge" of 50 percent, the magazine said. The review article admits the mechanics of the refugee trade are difficult to trace because of the huge sums of money and silent operatives, but here are the major points it presented Once in Ho Chi Minh City the refugees leave by fishing junks or cargo ships, chartered for the specific purpose of transporting refugees.

Senior government' officials are not directly involved in the refugee traffic, but some are still unhappy at the government's participation. The ships are chartered from small companies or minor shipping agents used to hiring vessels without too many questions for the right fee. the two freighters to pick up their human cargo in the Mekong Delta area near Ho Chi Minh City formerly Saigon for a price, the magazine said. Three more freighters were spotted in December and one may now be steaming toward Hong Kong, the review said. "Government -controlled routes are now the only way out of Vietnam for the thousands of ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese desperate to escape," the Review said.

The Vietnamese government, alarmed at the number of refugee escapes, created a special department six months ago to "coordinate" the exodus, the Review said. Politburo member Nguyen Van Linh is believed to be the department head, reporting directly to Prime Minister Pham Van Dong, the review said. The article followed statements by Australian Immigration Minister Michael MacKellar Thursday that an organization "of merchants in human cargo" are involved in the refugee exodus. MacKellar also said a shipload of up to 3,000 paying refugees is preparing to sail from Ho Chi Minh City for Australia as part of a government-sponsored plan.

GEOItGK Deputy Glenwood Humphries has been- named vv Washington County sheriff Gene Jones as the chief deputy in the county law enforcement department. Humphries, a native of Washington County, has served as a deputy sheriff for three years in the county. 1 ie is a graduate of the Utah State Police Academy, and he has worked with (he Hurricane City Police Department. He is a member of the east Washington County search and rescue team. "I was born and raised in Hurricane and after high school.

I went into the Navy and 1 was honorably discharged in Humphries said. He said he worked with the Utah State Highway Department for 1 years before he entered the law enforcement field. He has taken specialized courses in major cases investigation, a crime scene seminar sponsored by the FBI. first aid classes, the crash injury management, program and many firearms classes sponsored bv the Utah Highway Patrol. He is married to Diana Miller of Hurricane and has four children.

"I chose Officer Humphries for the job because of bis leadership ability, and 1 feel his ability is what the department needs." the sheriff said. "I think he will help me make the transition as sheriff an easy one because he knows the system and how the department operates." Jones added. Meanwhile, City Council President George Forbes, a Kucinich foe, unveiled a plan Thursday to raise $15 million in 75 days to help Cleveland avoid bankruptcy and to cancel the layoffs. Forbes said the proposal, which would need approval by the Ohio General Assembly, would authorize businessmen to pay part of their real estate and personal property taxes to Cleveland early. Legislative action would change a state law prohibiting businesses from making partial payment of real estate and personal property taxes.

"The Legislature says they'll pass it and the businessmen say they'll pay it," Forbes said Thursday. "In light of the coming school situation (busing for desegregation begin next month), we don't want to lose any police officers." Forbes also promised action by the council Monday on the sale of some city-owned land to raise an additional $3 million. CLEVELAND (UPD City workers due to be laid off today because of Cleveland's money troubles won a reprieve in court Thursday night when a judge ruled they should be retained at least until next Tuesday when the city's financial situation becomes more clear. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Markus granted a temporary restraining order against the layoff of any worker covered by civil service until noon Tuesday. He acted on a motion filed by the Civil Service Employees Association of Cleveland.

Mayor Dennis Kucinich had announced the 400 layoff including 275 police officers because of the city's financial problems. The association argued Kucinich should lay off 300 temporary workers before dismissing employees covered by Civil Service. The Police Patrolmen's Association and the Firefighters Union had planned to go to court today to try to stop the layoffs. Markus indicated the possibility of obtaining additional funds by Monday justified putting off the layoffs until council acts on the Forbes proposal. The mayor, who previously said the sale of $5 million in city-owned land could avert layoffs, called Forbes' plan "a sham." "If businessmen want to pay their taxes early that's fine with me, but it doesn't solve our problems," Kucinich said.

"This money is owed anyway. "Instead of wasting time with this phony solution, Forbes should call the council into session tomorrow to pass the land sales. That's the only action that can avert the layoffs." Kucinich had said layoffs would be necessary at least until city voters decide in a special Feb. 27 election whether to increase the city's 1 percent income tax to 1.5 percent and whether to sell the debt-ridden Cleveland Municipal Light Plant System.

Main Cedar City Publication names 11 CIA agents 1 VACATION IN HAWAII WASHINGTON (UPD -An underground publication has named 11 more alleged CIA agents operating abroad, hoping to force them to leave their posts with their diplomat ic cover "blown." Covert Action Information Bulletin, in its January edition issued Thursday, said, "Once again, we are edited in Washington and also distributed abroad. The latest issue listed people identified as the CIA chief of station in Islamabad, Pakistan; two new "case officers" at the U.S. Consulate General in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil; agents in Beirut, Lebanon, and Cairo, Egypt. able to expose for our readers more CIA employees serving around the world under diplomatic cover, and to update the movements of several others already named in Dirty Work." Dirty Work, a book coauthored by renegade CIA agent Philip Agee, last year listed more than 700 names of people it alleged were CIA or National Security Agency agents abroad. A 12-year CIA veteran, Agee left the agency in 1969 to write books and articles about his former spy bosses and colleagues.

Expelled from Britain, France and several other Western European countries, he is now believed to be living in Italy. Agee, while in Havana last year at a communist-sponsored festival, met with colleagues to launch the Covert Action Information Bulletin.
